Rapid sand filter information


Cutaway view of a typical rapid sand filter

The rapid sand filter or rapid gravity filter is a type of filter used in water purification and is commonly used in municipal drinking water facilities as part of a multiple-stage treatment system.[1] These systems are complex and expensive to operate and maintain, and therefore less suitable for small communities and developing nations.
