BioSand Gravity Operated Water Filters

Gravity BioSand models are perfect for remote settings with no access to electrical power, such as cottages, camps, and rural area residences. They are also used for disaster relief and in developing nations. See our photo gallery to see pictures of a BioSand unit installed in the Gulf Islands, BC and Uganda.

Systems can be fully automated at a future date, and can operate in nearly all climates. Freeze protection is simple - only need to open one valve!

Simply pour source water into the filter and collect the pure water in a clean container.

BioSand Model 240

The BioSand Water Filter uses the patented, award winning, Canadian Water Filtration (CWF) process. BioSand is a unique type of slow sand filtration. Cleaning the slow sand filter does not consume any media and produces virtually no wastewater. BioSand filters have capacities ranging from 20 litres per hour to 600 litres per hour. The filter was developed by Dr. David Manz at the University of Calgary, Canada. BioSand filters can be used with surface, well, or rain water sources.
