Vortisand High-Efficiency Sand Filters (Xylem)
Innovative Solutions in Microsand Filtration Technology
HIGHMARK represents Xylem’s Vortisand line of high-efficiency sand / microsand filters in New York City & New Jersey, offering top-tier filtration solutions for cooling loops, process water, pre-membrane treatment, and industrial applications. These systems deliver submicron filtration performance using microsand media and cross-flow dynamics, capturing very fine particles while operating at flow rates up to 4-5× greater than traditional media filters—resulting in more compact footprint and lighter weight systems.
The Vortisand filters reduce water usage significantly by minimizing backwash rates and requiring less frequent maintenance, even in demanding environments. Their self-backwashing design combined with advanced media like STRATA HDX™ ensures high flux rate operation, enhances safety, and streamlines control.
By pairing Xylem’s high-performance microsand filtration technology with HIGHMARK’s local support and system integration, clients in NYC & NJ gain water treatment systems that lower operating costs, reduce water waste, improve cooling system efficiency, and deliver consistent long-term performance.
