ABSTRACT:
A cap for filter underdrain blocks is provided, wherein the cap has a porous body with a top surface, a bottom surface and downwardly extending flanges. The cap is installed on a filter block having a plurality of orifices in a top wall of the filter block for channelling fluids to and from an overlying filter media. The bottom surface of the cap along with the flanges define a distribution chamber above the orifices, and the cap has a porosity such that a fine grain filter media may be placed directly on the top surface of the cap without media penetrating therethrough and clogging the underdrain blocks. The distribution chamber enhances distribution of backwash fluids throughout the filter media, and the cap eliminates the need for a separate gravel support layer to be installed between the fine grain filter media and the underdrain blocks.
