Featured product: Sand filters

While standard clarification procedures are often good enough for most 
water-treatment systems, sometimes a higher level of quality is 
required. That's when Krofta's innovative DAF (dissolved air floatation) 
sand filter systems are worth a look. The Sandfloat system uses tiny 
bubbles of air -- just 30 to 70 microns in diameter -- to lift solids to 
the surface while allowing the water to pass through greensand or other 
media for a polishing effect that can be truly outstanding in quality. 
The Sandfloat approach can also be very useful for removing heavy metals 
like iron which are often found in the groundwater -- especially in 
Nebraska.
