Amiad Filtration Systems

Amiad Filtration, now playing in New York City!

Thousands of New Yorkers now enjoy crystal clear water in their homes. Many more are about to join them. Is great water coming back? Well, for some. Because today many developers specify water filtration for their entire buildings. Filtered water (free of discoloring agents like oxidized iron and manganese) keeps high-end fixtures and surfaces sparkling clean, which means less chemical cleaning solution down the drain. Filtered water also makes people very happy.

Amiad Filtration: What it does, how it works

An Amiad® SAF series can filter hundreds of gallons per minute at 10 microns, completely automatically, year after year. Unlike conventional filters, it uses no filtration media and no storage tanks. Responsive to actual water conditions, it takes up little floor space and consumes less than 1/10th the water used by other automatic systems. For a typical large residential building, that means saving over one million gallons of water every year.

Brilliant technology: Particles are collected against a 316L stainless steel screen, and automatically flushed out as frequently as needed based on continuous measurement of pressure differential and/or at pre-set time intervals. The entire captured particulate load is purged in under 30 seconds. Even during flush mode, the unit stays in service.

Amiad filtration is ideal not only for domestic water but also storm water harvesting and HVAC systems in side stream or full flow application. It is an essential element when implementing environmentally sustainable technologies, especially when seeking LEED certification.

Filtration screens are available at 10 – 200 microns. Coarser filtration permits higher flow rates. (Domestic water is ordinarily 10µ; storm water and cooling tower water 25µ;.) Every Amiad system supplied is designed for its specific application and includes comprehensive factory and field support.
