The Waterco SM1200 sand filters are manufactured with high grade fiberglass and the latest in fiberglass winding technology. The filters are UV and corrosion resistant making them extremely durable and long lasting. The Waterco digitally controlled filament winding machine faultlessly winds continuous strands of high quality fiberglass filament. This is done under controlled tension to create a seamless one-piece vessel with refined consistency and superior quality. There are no welds or seams or special tank linings which can corrode.

Filament wound filters are equipped with Waterco's exclusive "fishtail" laterals to improve its filtration and backwashing hydraulic efficiency. The laterals are hydraulically balanced to maximize water flow and filtration. Fishtail laterals provide effective coverage of the filter bed and balanced water flow during backwashing. Plus, the backwash time is significantly reduced, leading to a 30% savings of backwash water. Conventional laterals are not suitable for large-scale commercial filters.

The SM1200 filters are extremely durable and are designed to provide you years of trouble-free service. The filters will clean out everything larger than 3 - 40 microns. Sand filters still remain the most popular choice on the market for their durability and simplicity in maintenance.
