I admit that sometimes I pay more for name brand than I should, particularly when something doesn’t cost that much. However, if “big money” is involved, I do my homework and avoid even name brand products with known design concerns, don’t you?
ORTHOS can utilize the block channel (flume) for the installation of an air header and create a short plenum (±12″) to minimize hydraulic profile. With a change of media design, maximum backwash rate, or trough elevation, ORTHOS can engineer a solution that provides excellent distribution, long filter runs, and effective media cleaning.
Orthos has NEVER had a monolithic underdrain failure. Because of our nozzle back pressure design and that air and water move freely under the monolithic floor, distribution is repeatedly exceptional, resulting in optimal media cleaning and long-lasting structural integrity.
