Hi folks!
I have my filter system pretty much designed the way I want it, but I have one piece that I would like help with. I have some ideas, but would like to hear yours if you don't mind. I will describe what I am attempting to accomplish and if you have any ideas, please chime in.
I will be running a 2" ID PVC pipe between each filter barrel under gravity flow conditions. The first stage will be a multi-chamber gravity-flow settlement and solids seperating tank.
The outlet of the settling tank will feed a mechanical filtration vessel. The mechanical filter will consist of several layers of Matala Media stacked vertically in a short HDPE barrel with the bottom layer being a 300 micron SS mesh screen. The water will trickle down through the Matala media and out through the SS mesh.
I desire the incoming water from the settlement tank to be evenly distributed and dispersed over the top layer of the Matal media. AKA a spray or dribble bar. I am therefore looking for a plumbing system which will accomodate that task. If you have any advice and ideas, i would like to hear them. I have a few ideas of my own, but I would prefer something more simpler and more effective, so I need more heads and brains to provide some input here.
Thanks,
Gordy
