Typical applications
Auto-Backwash Filters in the UAE
Tank sediment in a UAE building never really stops, so cartridges become a constant cost. An auto-backwash filter cleans itself on a timer or by volume and sends the dirt to drain.
Filter-Ag catches particles down to 20–40 microns and Filter-Ag Plus to around 5. The media are NSF/ANSI 61.
Common questions

Supplied, fitted and serviced in the UAE
UAE mains water is desalinated and fairly soft: DEWA reports a typical hardness of 60.7 mg/l in Dubai. Most problems start in building tanks and pipework, so filtration and UV usually matter more here than softening.
Tell us whether the building runs on mains, tanker or well water, and what the system is for. We specify it, quote in dirhams and fit it.
