SKYHYDRANT
- USER GUIDE & DATA SHEET
DATA SHEET
Turbidity will also be removed and as turbidity rise the
SkyHydrants will require more frequent cleaning cycles
to remove accumulated contaminates. A pre-filter to 200
microns is highly recommended to reduce module fouling in
areas where high levels of solids are found.
The backwash cleaning cycle is easily undertaken requiring
no tools or the need to access internal components of the
SkyHydrant. Handles on top of the unit are simply moved
back and forth for the mechanical agitation cleaning process
which takes about one minute to complete before the back
flush valve is opened to release contaminates.
BACKGROUND
Small communities require robust, reliable water treatment
solutions often from difficult water sources. The treatment
systems must provide pathogen free water economically and
with minimal operator attendance.
SkyHydrant Water Filtration Units require no power or replacement filters and can be operated by non-
technical persons. SkyHydrants are lightweight and portable making them ideal for supplying drinking
water in most remote locations from both surface and ground water supplies.
They can operate as single standalone units or be manifolded together to increase water flow to create
large-scale water production plants.
SkyHydrants will significantly remove pathogens from feed water including bacteria, viruses, protozoa,
cysts and parasites to a level as classified by the World Health Organisation (WHO) as suitable for drinking
water.
