Cluster gravity filters have been used in drinking water applications for more than three
decades. A recent innovative advancement in the influent flow-splitting arrangement can
reduce the total filtration headloss by as much as 60 inches (1.5 meters) without
sacrificing solids capture capability. A decrease in the operating headloss, in turn,
reduces the amount of energy used by the system. In addition, cluster filters feature the
ability to provide backwash water from in-service filter cells, thus eliminating or greatly
reducing the backwash pumping requirement associated with power costs. These two
important design features also require less maintenance. Includes figures.
