This video demonstrates how Beacon Water Technologies GDisk® pile cloth media filtration systems remove suspended solids through a continuous, low-energy process.

Wastewater enters the system and flows by gravity through fully submerged pile cloth media disks. As the water passes through the cloth, solids are captured on and within the media, forming a filtration layer while clean water flows to the effluent chamber and over a weir for discharge.

As solids accumulate, the system automatically initiates a backwash cycle based on water level or timed intervals. During this process, a low-energy suction system removes captured solids from the cloth media while the majority of the system continues filtering uninterrupted.

This continuous filtration and automated cleaning process ensures:

Consistent effluent quality

Minimal energy consumption

Reduced water usage for backwashing

Reliable operation under varying flow and solids loading conditions

The result is an efficient, compact filtration solution designed to maintain high performance with minimal operator intervention.
