WATER TREATMENT DEVICE AND METHOD FOR RINSING BRINE FROM A TREATMENT MEDIUM

摘要

A fluid treatment device includes a tank containing a fluid treatment media and a fluid. A distributor plate is received in the tank and separates the bed from a lower end of the tank. The lower end of the tank is filled with an inert media. The inert media may be granular and in the form of gravel or polypropylene or polyethylene beads. The inert media is configured to force a rising fluid delivered to the lower end of the tank upwardly to the distributor plate at an increased velocity to thereby improve the rinsing performance of the rinsing fluid.
