Benefits:
1. There is no graded gravel bed to buy, transport, handle at the job site, and install.

2. With most types of H&T gravelless units, there is no concrete fill to buy and install in the bottom of the filter below the strainers.

3. The tank height is lower which means a saving in tank cost and its delivery cost, and the tank is easier to handle at the job site during installation. The lower tank height permits its use in a lower height room or building.

4. The space in the bottom of the unit previously used for a gravel supporting bed may be used for a greatly increased bed depth of filter media or zeolite, thus providing a greater flow rate and/or softener quality.

5. Rugged, corrosion-resistant, stainless steel strainers, uniformly spaced, extend completely across the entire tank bottom and provide better collection of the treated water and more uniform distribution of the backwash water. Strainers may be factory-installed, if desired ... at a small additional cost.

6. Units have an extremely low head loss, even when equipped with greater bed depths of filter media and operated at a greater flow rate.

7. A lower overall installed equipment cost. This construction is also applicable to overhauling, rebuilding, and modernizing old, low height filters and softeners.

The H&T Gravelless Units
H&T water treating units of the gravelless type offer a number of important features to be considered today by discriminating buyers of water conditioning systems.

H&T gravelless designs are used for both closed pressure type units and open gravity-type units, either manually or automatically operated as preferred. They cover a wide class range including softeners, H&T sand and anthracite filters, Neutralex filters, Acticar filters, and Ferrosand "CR" filters.
