The filters for the treatment of water with mercury and lead concentrations are equipped with an automatic or manual head that takes care of the filtering and washing of the filtration system.

All IMA water filtration systems have a filter media suitable for drinking water and wastewater that is used for the absorption of mercury and lead from the water. There are two types of filter heads depending on the characteristics of the water to be treated.

• Filters with automatic head: They should be connected to a control panel for timed backwashing of the filter media.  Their installation is recommended for water with a high presence of solids or when the automation of the process is required without the need for manual activation of the backwash valves.
• Manual head filter: This model consists of a head that must be manually operated to perform the backwashing of the filtration system. They are used for installations where no electrical connection is required and for waters with low solids content that allow special filter washings between several days or weeks.
