FilterSmart Backwash Monitor
Gravity Filter Backwash Monitor
The FilterSmart Backwash Monitor is revolutionizing the way water professionals manage their gravity filters. FilterSmart directly measures the parameters of actual interest: media expansion and turbidity. These two trends together present a clear picture of what’s going on during the backwash, allowing operators to ‘see’ into the process like never before. FilterSmart simplifies filter optimization because its 24/7 monitoring takes the place of countless manual hours of data collection.
The FilterSmart sensor is located in the top of a gravity filter just below the top of the wash trough. During a backwash, the ultrasonic sensor tracks the level of the media and the turbidity sensor measures how clean or dirty the wash water is as it flows into the wash trough. These two measurements produce trends that together provide an extremely accurate profile of the backwash and become a powerful tool for optimizing filter performance. Equipped with this insight, operators can virtually eliminate media loss and mud-ball formation, in most cases reduce water usage, and improve overall filter health and efficiency.
FEATURES
✔️ Directly measures media expansion and turbidity
✔️ Eliminates media loss and mud-ball formation
✔️ Better long-term filter health and efficiency
✔️ 24/7 monitoring
✔️ Simplifies filter optimization
✔️ Automatic initialization and calibration
EchoSmart Sludge Blanket Monitor
Continuous, Real-Time Sludge Blanket Level Measurement
EchoSmart is an underwater interface-level analyzer technology that is built on a digital platform. This allows the analyzer to be located in the sensor. The result is greater flexibility in equipment configuration options, enhanced communication capabilities and reduced installation costs. EchoSmart Interface Level Analyzers are unique in that our Smart-Sensor technology enables the control and monitoring of up to 16 Smart Sensors from one EchoSmart Controller. This allows for field networks of sensors, thereby lowering the ‘per-tank’ cost. These field networks can also be created wirelessly, eliminating costly conduit and cabling runs.
EchoSmart is adaptable and can be programmed to suit various tank sizes and designs. Three sensor models provide a solution for most applications: the standard sensor with multi-flex assembly for when surface skimmers are present, the self-cleaning sensor for applications without surface skimmers, and the sensor with turbidity that offers further insight into water clarity.
FEATURES
✔️ Automatic initialization for easy start-up
✔️ Adaptive algorithms in each sensor for uninterrupted operation
✔️ Installation and networked flexibility
✔️ Turbidity measurement option
