Wheeler Bottom Water Filtration Balls

AKRON Porcelain & Plastics Company serves the Water Filtration Industry by supplying ceramic spheres for Wheeler filter bottoms. Akron has  NSF  Certification and is a member of the  American Water Works Association  (AWWA).

The Wheeler Filter Bottom for gravity filters has been recognized for many years as a most efficient and durable filter bottom.

The Wheeler Filter Bottom, monolithic type, consists of a reinforced concrete floor slab, or “false” floor, supported on piers about 22″ above the floor of the filter box. Inverted pyramidal depressions located at 12″ intervals throughout the Wheeler Bottom each contain (5) 3″ porcelain spheres and (9) smaller porcelain spheres. A porcelain thimble having ¾” diameter clear opening permits passage of water through the Bottom.
