Sand filter A/G on Clack WS1CI 60 L bottle - ref. CLACK-WS1CI-AG-60

Overview

Filter on bottle filled with A/G filtration sand (silica/quartz), on Clack valve (ref. CLACK-WS1CI-AG-60). Bottle 13X54. Valve WS1. This filtration station ensures filtration of particles and turbidity at the point of entry to protect the entire installation. Supplied ready to install (filled bottle + valve + distribution), it treats mains water, well water or borehole water.

Filtration principle

Filtration sand (calibrated silica/quartz, A/G sand) retains suspended particles and turbidity through deep mechanical filtration. Economical and robust, it constitutes an excellent first stage of clarification and protects downstream media and equipment. The bed is cleaned by backwash which unclogs and evacuates sludge.

A/G Sand media

The bottle is filled with A/G filtration sand (silica/quartz) on a gravel/silica support bed which distributes water and retains fines. Media volume: 56.6L. Depending on the media, the bed is backwashed (carbon/Ecomix) or recharged when it becomes depleted (calcite/Corosex/Everzit), to maintain performance over time.

Valve & operation

The WS1 valve automatically controls cycles: service (filtration), backwash, rinse and return to service (and salt regeneration for Ecomix). Triggering is time-based or volume-based depending on the model; an integrated bypass isolates the filter without cutting off water.

Sizing & installation

Choose the size (bottle 13X54) according to peak flow rate and water quality. Provide a drain outlet for backwash and electrical supply for the valve. Install in a frost-free location on level ground; an upstream sediment pre-filter is recommended to preserve the media.

Economy & ecology

Treating water at the point of entry protects the entire installation: less corrosion (pH correction), more pleasant water (carbon) and preserved equipment, therefore fewer replacements and maintenance. Backwash uses only water (and salt for Ecomix), without polluting additives: effective treatment that respects the resource.

Choosing correctly

To choose correctly, have your water analysed (pH, TAC, chlorine, iron) and estimate peak flow rate. Media is chosen according to need: carbon (taste/chlorine), calcite/Corosex/Everzit (pH correction), Ecomix (multi-parameter). The DIMM team helps you size the bottle, valve and pre-treatment.

Characteristics at a glance

DIMM service & support

DIMM designs, assembles and ships turnkey bottle filters (Aquacarb/Carbsorb carbon, pH correction Calcite/Corosex/Everzit, multilayer Ecomix) on Clack valves, as well as hoses and accessories. Our teams analyse your water, size the bottle and valve and advise you on suitable media and pre-treatment. Each reference is identified by its article code, with manufacturer warranty, spare parts and refill media available. From advice to commissioning, we support installers and individuals, from sizing the bottle and valve to choosing the media and maintenance follow-up, with a stock of refill media and spare parts immediately available.

Good to know

Media is chosen according to water analysis: carbon for taste and chlorine, calcite/Corosex to raise aggressive pH, Ecomix for multi-problem well water. Plan for backwash (sufficient flow rate and drainage) and, for pH correction media, periodic monitoring and recharging of the level as they become depleted. An upstream sediment pre-filter protects the media and spaces out backwashes, whilst regular water analysis allows you to adjust the valve setting.

Applications

These bottle filters are installed at the point of entry (protection of the entire house or building), in residential, tertiary and agricultural settings. Depending on the media, they refine taste, correct pH or treat multiple parameters. They combine with sediment pre-filtration and, if necessary, aeration, for healthy water and protected plumbing all year round.

Warranty & reordering

Station assembled and distributed by DIMM, identified by its Business Central article code for reliable ordering and simple reordering. It benefits from manufacturer warranty; the valve, bottle, refill media and compatible hoses remain available in the catalogue to support the installation throughout its lifetime.
