Filter-Ag Filters for More Efficient Sediment Removal
Filter-Ag Filters with Automatic Backwash for More Efficient Sediment Removal
Filter-Ag is a non-hydrous silicon dioxide media which can be used as highly efficient filter media for the reduction of suspended matter.
Filter-Ag has many outstanding advantages over the more common granular filter medias used for suspended solids reduction. Its fractured edges and irregular surface provides a high surface area and complex flow path for efficient removal of suspended matter throughout the filter bed, typically reducing suspended solids down to the 20-40 micron range.
Filter-Ag's larger particle size creates less pressure loss through the filter and allows deeper sediment penetration into the bed for higher sediment loading and longer filter runs. This large and irregular shape prevents the screening and caking of sediment in the top several inches of the filter bed as happens in the typical sand filter, thus preventing a rapid buildup of headloss and blinding problems.
Filter-Ag's light weight means lower backwash rates and better bed expansion to release trapped sediment and rinse the filter media during the backwash cycle. This ideal combination of particle shape, size and density make it a good choice where quality water filtration and water conservation are important.

Benefits of Filter-Ag High Efficiency Sediment Reduction Filters
Filter-Ag is a highly efficient method for reducing dirt, silt, rust, and other suspended particles from a water stream with a filtration level of approximately 20 to 40 microns.
- Protect downstream equipment and appliances
- Less pressure loss than most other media filters
- Light weight requires lower back-wash rates & reduces shipping costs
- High service rates for lower equipment costs
- High sediment reduction capacity for longer filter runs, with a substantial savings in backwash water & time out of service

Ordering Notes:
- Filter-Ag are available with USA or European style plugs and voltages. Please add the appropriate voltage code to the end of the model when ordering.
- 120V AC/60Hz with USA cord = US
- Example: W-MA744ET-US
- European 220V AC = EU (EU plug is removable to convert into universal 220v cord)
- 5 gpm per sq. ft. of media is the best design condition for filtration. For relatively clean water, you may go up to design criteria of 15 gpm per sq. ft. Backwash flow rate based on 25 psi pressure drop.
- Skid mounting, control panel and custom sizes and configurations are available upon request. AMI Filter-Ag Sediment Filters are offered standard with new state of the art electronic programmable valves, but may be ordered with electromechanical Fleck valve heads upon request.
