Innovative Cloth Media Filtration for Wastewater and Reuse Applications
Siewert Equipment proudly represents AquaPyr, a leader in vacuum-cleaned cloth media filtration systems designed for tertiary treatment, water reuse, and advanced effluent polishing. Available across Upstate New York, AquaPyr’s filters offer superior solids removal, minimal energy use, and compact footprint—making them ideal for both municipal and industrial treatment plants.
AquaPyr’s patented vacuum-cleaning process ensures consistent performance without backwash, eliminating the need for high-pressure spray systems and reducing maintenance and downtime.
Engineered for High-Quality Effluent & Operational Simplicity
AquaPyr cloth media filters combine innovative hydraulic design with durable woven filtration fabrics to remove suspended solids (TSS), phosphorus, algae, and fine particulates. These systems are ideal for meeting stringent discharge permits or preparing effluent for water reuse, UV disinfection, or membrane treatment.
With no moving parts submerged in water and a fully enclosed cleaning system, AquaPyr delivers clean water, low O&M costs, and unmatched reliability.

What Are Vacuum-Cleaned Cloth Media Filters?
Cloth media filters use textile-based disks or panels to remove fine suspended solids from water. Unlike conventional filters, AquaPyr’s patented vacuum-cleaning system gently removes debris from the cloth surface without interrupting flow.
Benefits Include:
- No backwash water needed
- Lower energy and chemical consumption
- Smaller footprint than sand or granular media filters
- Consistent performance under variable loads
- Reduced operator intervention and maintenance
Cloth media filters are widely used as a final polishing step before discharge or reuse, especially where nutrient limits or reuse standards apply.

FAQ: AquaPyr Cloth Media Filters
What size particles can AquaPyr filters remove?
- Typical filtration ranges from 5 to 10 microns, effectively capturing TSS, algae, and fine solids.
Do AquaPyr systems use backwash pumps or spray bars?
- No. They use a vacuum suction system, eliminating the need for high-pressure backwash or spray components.
Can these filters be retrofitted into an existing tank?
- Yes. AquaPyr systems can be dropped into existing basins or concrete structures, minimizing civil work.
How often do the cloth media need to be replaced?
- Media lifespan depends on loading and operation, but typically lasts 5–7 years or longer.
Are AquaPyr filters suitable for cold climates?
- Yes. The enclosed design and insulated configurations make them ideal for northern and seasonal operations.
Is the system continuous during cleaning?
- Yes. AquaPyr filters continue filtering while vacuum-cleaning, maintaining uninterrupted flow.
What are the O&M requirements?
- Minimal. Systems require periodic inspection and occasional replacement of vacuum lines or media panels.
Are they effective for phosphorus removal?
- Yes. AquaPyr filters can be part of an enhanced phosphorus removal strategy and work well in chemical addition processes.
Can they be used before UV disinfection?
- Yes. Their fine solids removal improves UV transmission and reduces fouling.
Do you offer pilot testing?
- Yes. Siewert Equipment can help coordinate pilot units for evaluation or temporary installations.
