SMD 1800 Filter: Ultimate Deep Bed Filtration for Commercial and Industrial Applications

Introduction

As a retailer of premium water filtration equipment, I’m excited to present the SMD 1800 filter. This 2.5 bar, 90mm port model represents the epitome of deep media bed filtration technology, offering unparalleled filtration efficiency for large-scale commercial and industrial water treatment applications.

Product Overview

The SMD 1800 filter is engineered to provide exceptional in-depth filtration and dramatically increased dirt capacity compared to standard high-rate filters and even other deep bed models. While the product description mentions bed depths of 1000mm to 1200mm, the SMD 1800’s larger size suggests an even deeper media bed, potentially up to 1800mm, offering unprecedented filtration capabilities.

Key Features

Advanced Filtration Technology

• Exceptionally deep media bed for ultimate filtration efficiency
• Superior retention of fine dirt particles and colloidal substances
• Highly efficient use of mixed bed filter media and water treatment media (e.g., granular activated carbon)

Robust Construction

• Fiberglass wound tank for superior UV and corrosion resistance
• Pressure rated at 2.5 bar (36 psi) for this model
• Maximum working temperature of 50°C (122°F)

Optimized Water Flow

• Hydraulically balanced laterals to maximize water flow and filtration efficiency
• 90mm port size for high flow rates suitable for large-scale applications

Versatility

• Filter area likely exceeding 2.01m² due to its larger size
• Optional six-position multiport valve with sight glass and quick connect half unions

Durability and Longevity

The fiberglass wound tank construction ensures:

• Excellent resistance to UV degradation
• High corrosion resistance for extended service life in demanding environments
• Ability to withstand high operating pressures

Filtration Efficiency

The exceptionally deep media bed of the SMD 1800 offers several advantages:

• Unmatched filtration of fine particles, far surpassing standard and even other deep bed filters
• Dramatically increased dirt holding capacity, resulting in significantly longer filter cycles
• Enhanced ability to use complex mixed media configurations for targeted contaminant removal
• Highly effective use of activated carbon for advanced water treatment and polishing

Energy Efficiency

While providing superior filtration, the hydraulically balanced laterals and optimized design help maintain energy efficiency by minimizing pressure loss through the filter, despite its exceptionally deep bed.

Conclusion

The SMD 1800 filter represents the pinnacle of commercial and industrial water filtration technology. Its exceptionally deep media bed design, coupled with robust construction and customizable features, makes it the ultimate choice for large-scale applications demanding the highest standards of water clarity and quality.

Whether you’re managing a world-class aquatic center, an Olympic-sized pool, or a critical industrial water treatment process, the SMD 1800 offers the filtration performance needed to meet and exceed the most stringent water quality standards. The ability to handle complex mixed media configurations and large volumes of activated carbon further extends its capabilities, allowing for highly sophisticated water treatment solutions.

Investing in the SMD 1800 filter at £9,454.46 ensures that your large-scale water system operates at the pinnacle of efficiency and quality. While the price point is significant, it reflects the filter’s exceptional capabilities, size, and the long-term value it provides in terms of water quality, reduced maintenance, and operational efficiency.
