How does the SkyHydrant™ Work?
The core of the system is an ultrafiltration (UF) membrane, consisting of thousands of microporous hollow fibres.
Harmful bacteria, micro-organisms, dirt and other contaminating particles are removed as they are unable to pass through the pores.
No chemicals, coagulants, pumps or energy are required for the filtration process.
The system operates under gravity with typical head pressure of 2-4 metres.
Cleaning process is simple and manual taking just a few minutes a day.
