The lifespan of a filter media can vary depending on several factors.
What is the Lifespan of a Filter Media? 4 Key Factors to Consider
1. Type of Media
Different types of filter media have different lifespans.
For example, sand and anthracite in a dual media filter are typically replaced every 10 to 20 years.
2. Specific Application
The application plays a crucial role in determining the lifespan.
Charcoal media, used for organic effluents, may need to be replaced more frequently.
3. Operational Considerations
Operational factors such as filtration cycle time and required cake dryness can affect the lifespan.
Stainless steel wool media is susceptible to moisture saturation and cannot be packed tightly.
4. Material Properties
Material properties also influence the lifespan.
Copper media is reactive and relies on coalescence for trapping large molecules, making it immune to moisture saturation but susceptible to corrosion.
