ABSTRACT:
A water purification apparatus is disclosed having an aeration chamber for aerating unpurified water from a source. A filter chamber is provided beneath the aeration chamber containing granular media for filtering the aerated water and having spaced apart headers for introducing backwash water as well as removing filtered water for storage in a reservoir beneath the filter chamber. A float actuated valve controls the flow of filtered water from the header to the reservoir in response to the water level of aerated water in the filter chamber. A float actuated timing device is provided for controlling the introduction of backwash water to the headers for a predetermined duration in response to the frequency the reservoir has been filled and emptied of purified water.
