Abstract
A filter- and sterilizing apparatus comprising a gravity filter device with a liquid supply (L1), a downpipe filter (F) and a clean liquid drainage (L3) as well as a sterilizing device (U) hydraulically connected to the downpipe filter, is characterized in that the sterilizing device connected to the clean liquid circuit (L3) of the downpipe filter (F), is adjustable in height and has the shape of a supply channel to the overflow weir (Y), wherein the liquid level in the supply channel (K) before starting the filtration is approximately adjustable to the same height with the water level in the downpipe filter (F) above the filter medium (M). The sterilizing device (U) is an ultraviolet sluice.
Claims7
Filter and sterilizing apparatus comprising:
- a. a raw water inlet;
- b. a downpipe filter formed as a gravity filter and connected to said raw water inlet;
- c. a clean liquid drainage line for cleaned water leading away from said downpipe filter;
- and,
- d. a sterilizing device hydraulically connected to said clean liquid drainage line of said downpipe filter, said sterilizing device being adjustable in height and configured as a supply channel leading to an overflow weir, a liquid level associated with said supply channel being adjustable to correspond to a liquid level associated with a water level above filter medium of said downpipe filter by adjusting a mounting height of said sterilizing device.
