Cryptosporidium Removal

SupaSpun II R31 filters rated at 1 µm have been tested by a DWI approved independent laboratory and typically exhibit >99.998% retention of Cryptosporidium oocysts.

Filter Housings

Amazon designs and manufactures housings to support the use of filter cartridges. These can be supplied as ready to install skids fitted with pipe work, valves, pumps etc, so can easily and quickly be connected to the water treatment system. Filter housings are also compliant as per Regulation 31 and details can be found on the DWI’s List of Approved Products for use in Public Water Supply in the United Kingdom under reference number DWI 56/4/879.

Key Applications

Using modular filter cartridges and housings provides a contamination control system that offers enormous flexibility and one which can be supplied at short notice. In addition to being an important part of projects to upgrade the water purification systems, they are the perfect solution where unexpected problems occur or mobile units are required. Therefore Amazon Filters’ municipal water filtration systems have been adopted by many of the major water supply companies. Key applications include :-

• Removal of particulates to improve the clarity of the water and meet DWI and OFWAT specifications. Contamination by natural suspended solids such as organic material, silt and sand will increase the turbidity of the water. Cartridge filter systems are an effective method of reducing turbidity levels.
• Control of Cryptosporidium infection as part of risk management strategy or as a solution to an unexpected breakout.
• Protection of membranes used for purification or in desalination plant. The use of SupaSpun II R31 filters can help prevent premature fouling and extend the life of membrane systems.
• Point-of-Entry (Boundary Box) filtration for where the water quality deteriorates between the pumping station and consumer property.
