Factors affecting the flow rate of the filter sand tank

Factors affecting the flow rate of the filter sand tank

The final flow rate of the filter sand tank is related to the following factors:
1. The flow rate of the pressurized water pump (this plays a decisive role);
2. Filtration area (the larger the filtration area, the smaller the relative resistance, you can put finer sand to improve filtration accuracy);
3. Sand layer thickness (the greater the sand layer thickness, the higher the filtration degree);
Fourth, the diameter of the pipeline (the larger the diameter, the smaller the relative resistance, the greater the flow).

From the above, it can be concluded that the deep filter sand tank can greatly improve the filtering accuracy without pursuing flow. On the whole, the flow rate is inversely proportional to the filtering accuracy. Therefore, to be precise, the flow rate cannot be a parameter of the sand filter tank.

The flow parameter of the sand filter tank produced by Lanling Aquarium is actually the maximum value that can be reached in an ideal state (without sand layer resistance), which is generally larger than the actual flow. If users want to get a larger flow, they should choose a larger filter sand tank. Only in this way can the waste caused by the mismatch with the flow rate of the water pump be avoided.
