1-2 Sand and Gravel Automatic Backwash Filters
Sterling/Sterlco sand and gravel filters are shipped complete with:
• Tank
• Valve manifold
• Gauges
• Initial charge of sand and gravel
• Valve manifold
• Gauges
• Initial charge of sand and gravel
The system switches valves automatically. Two backwash control
mechanisms are available. Backwash cycles can be based on a time
cycle (SGM-250A) or pressure differential across the unit (SGM-
250P).

SGM-250A sand and gravel automatic backwash filters are
available in a 250-ton (756,000 Kcal/hr) model for cooling towers
and a maximum-capacity 500-ton (1,512,000 Kcal/hr) chiller
model. The SGM250A model is equipped with automatic valves
operated from a timing device so that the backwash cycle
automatically activates on a periodic basis.
Filters must be installed in a bypass line so that plugging of the
filter or temporary shutdown required for back washing does not
hinder process operation.
