The innovative and cost-effective Fuzzy Filter™ uses a compressible media filtration system which allows operators to adjust media porosity to suit their influent characteristics at the push of a button. This compact, modular filter can be used in a wide variety of water and wastewater applications at hydraulic loading rates up to 45gpm/ft², while requiring reduced wash water and maintenance, and occupying dramatically smaller footprint over traditional media filters.

The Fuzzy Filter uses a nominal 30” deep media bed comprised of individual 1.25” diameter compressible synthetic fiber spheres, and achieves a high rate of solids removal down to 4 microns. By mechanically compressing the media, operators can alter the total porosity as needed based on influent characteristics for effluent requirements. The media porosity and solids removal can be optimized to maximize solids capture and run time. The filter uses influent water and air scouring during wash cycles to dislodge captured particles, easily cleaning the media with very little wash water and without media loss.

The Fuzzy Filter is available in sizes from 2.25 ft² to 64 ft² with flows ranging from 0.13 MGD to 3.68 MGD at a loading rate of 40 GPM/ft².
