C-FILT is a continuously backwashed gravity sand filter that saves space and operation costs.

The sand filter is based on the counterflow principle. As a result the sand bed is in slow constant downward motion through the filter. Compressed air for the sand pump is provided by air compressor. Hence, both water purification and sand washing take place continuously and the filter can remain in service without interruption.
