A core sample can help determine if your system requires treatment to optimize its performance, adjustment of chemicals, or if additional media is needed, among other things.
A core sample is a physical measurement of the depth of each layer of media in your system. By sampling media, you can detect early signs of depletion and can determine when it's time to replenish the media. This helps you save money by ensuring that you don't waste media by backwashing too often.
The frequency of sampling depends on systems conditions, size and type of filter, amount and type of use, amount and type of contaminants in the water and so on. Typically, core samples should be taken at least every three years in a system with regular use.
Once we receive the sample, Filtronics will complete an analysis of the media and determine if any replenishment is needed, sending a proposal if warranted.
Obtaining a media core sample is a part of our regular annual maintenance contract and recommended for all of our systems. If you do not have a contract, do not hesitate to call Filtronics at 714-630-5040 and we will send you core sampling instructions or schedule a service call to perform the sampling.
