The Hydraloop Polisher is a water filtration unit for the post-treatment of reusable water coming out of a Hydraloop Cascade set-up. Treated water from the Hydraloop Cascade undergoes additional post-treatment by the Polisher, ensuring lower turbidity, BOD5, TSS levels and the addition of residual disinfection to protect the distribution network.
The Hydraloop Polisher is directly connected to the Hydraloop Cascade setup, which can consist of up to 10 H600 devices. After post-treatment in the Polisher, the reusable water is stored in a buffer tank. From this buffer tank, the water can be distributed for non-potable usage such as toilet flushing, laundry, and garden irrigation. Depending on the building size, the buffer tank can also supply water to an external storage tank.
