Water treatment technologies:

Water filtration

Self-cleaning filters

Self-cleaning filters remove suspended solids from water without replacing filter cartridges. Available in fully automatic or semi-automatic versions with different capacities and filtration levels.

Microfiltration

Mechanical filters are a highly flexible, versatile and economical solution for addressing small scale water filtration problems. Most commonly used as a barrier against suspended solids for protecting sensitive equipment.

Media filters for small industrial, commercial applications

These filters are suitable for commercial and small industrial applications, as well as for pre-treatment of water softeners and boilers (up to 8 m³/hour). They reduce water turbidity, adsorb odours, neutralise acidity and reduce heavy metals in water.

Media filters for industrial and municipal applications

Fully automatic, heavy duty pressure filters, manufactured entirely by Grundfos Water Treatment Italy (formerly Culligan), made from high grade carbon steel with a food-grade epoxy resin inner coating. Modular design allows units to be combined for high flows.

Water softening

Water softeners for small industrial and commercial applications

The range of small industrial, commercial water softeners can significantly reduce the accumulation of harmful scale caused by hard water. Available with Progressive Flow, Smart Controller, Brine Reclaim and Aqua-Sensor® technologies, Grundfos water softening systems for small installations are among the most efficient on the market.

Water softeners for industrial applications

The industrial water softeners provide high quality soft water for high volume (up to 225 m³/hour) applications. The softened water reduces the build-up of harmful scale caused by iron, calcium, magnesium and manganese ions in equipment, without the use of anti-scalant chemicals, resulting in immediate and long-term energy and cost savings.

Medical RO systems

RO2 dialysis RO

For flows of up to 3600 l/h, the RO2 bi-Osmosis system is ideal for treating water used for total haemodialysis. Water passes through 2 reverse osmosis systems to produce the highest quality water, but in the event of a problem the system automatically switches to single pass treatment, ensuring patient safety at all times.

RO2 thermo RO

For flows of up to 3600 l/h, the RO2 bi-Osmosis system is ideal for treating water used for total haemodialysis. Water passes through 2 reverse osmosis systems to produce the highest quality water, and also uses an in-built heat sanitization system to disinfect the system.

SDS RO (Single Dialysis System)

Flows up to 80 l/h

SDS (Single Dialysis System) produces up to 80 l/h of reverse osmosis quality water for haemodialysis. The device is ideal for applications such as dialysis in the patient's home, use by emergency services, acute dialysis and transplant patients. The compact and easy-to-use design is on wheels for easy mobility.

Deionization – Ion exchange water treatment systems

CEDI – Continuous electro-deionization

The CEDI process uses electricity, resin and membranes to reduce the ions in the water, decreasing the need for chemicals. CEDI is used as a post-treatment to further deionise the reverse osmosis permeate to produce even better (megaohm-cm) quality water.

Models are available with flow rates up to 13 m³/h.

Automatic deionization

Fully automated demineralization units for flows up to 40 m³/h. Choose from a flexible configuration of weak base or strong base resin tanks. Deyolit series deionizers are equipped with a control system to monitor the process and automatically start regeneration if water quality deteriorates to a predetermined limit.

PEDI – Portable exchange deionizers

In installations where regeneration systems are not adequate, replaceable portable exchange deionizers (PEDIs) are an excellent solution. The PEDI systems are suitable for a wide range of flow rates (up to 500 l/h) and use ion exchange resins to reduce positively and negatively charged ions in water. When the PEDI tanks are exhausted, your service technician can replace the ion exchange tanks to your specifications. This system type can reduce costs and the handling of chemicals such as caustic and acids that need to be regenerated.

Disinfection – UV systems
