Gravity Drinking Water Filters
Slow Sand Solutions
SSS400 – 400 Gallons per Day SSS1800 – 1800 Gallons per Day
The SSS400 supplies 400 gallons per day of safe drinking water from surface water sources, more than enough for emergency applications of small groups or single family dwellings. The SSS400 utilizes all the features of our larger filters including long filter runs, easy harrowing cleaning, and simple flow control. These features make it possible for most end users to install, operate and maintain this filter without outside "experts" or expensive ongoing materials costs.
The SSS1800, a larger version of the SSS400, provides 1800 gallons per day of safe drinking water. This unit can easily function as a central point of filtration for water that can be distributed in smaller containers and can service small villages or groups of people.

Single tank application will require regular batch raw water supply to the system and more constant drawing off of pure water in order to perform at rated capacity. Technology The SSS uses proprietary technology (patent pending) incorporates a number of state of the art features including factory set filtration rate and a device that measures head loss (to tell you when to clean), prevent siphon, prevent airlocks, and prevent accidental dewatering of the bio layer. The filter also uses our signature wet harrowing technique- by far the most effective and trouble free way to clean a slow sand filter. Emergency Applications There is a catastrophic earthquake.
