Filter Magic® is a universal filter control system with easily
installed modular options that allow it to meet the specific
criteria necessary for any water or wastewater gravity filter
system application. It is particularly effective when it is used
for retrofit solutions that are many times required in older
plants. Filter Magic® dual filter control consoles are much
smaller than older traditional consoles and can easily fit
within their existing footprints. AS-I bus networks eliminate
a substantial amount of the traditional power, control and
monitoring conduit and wiring normally found in a filter
pipe gallery, especially if pneumatic actuators are used.
And pneumatic vane actuators are much smaller than older
hydraulic or electric actuators allowing them to be easily
installed in the existing space available.
Filter Magic ® is perfect for retrofit solutions or new construction and can reduce the cost of installation by as much as 60%.
