| Marble size mudballs on the surface of a filter |
The word sounds innocent enough, but mudballs indicate problems in your filter bed. These solids accumulate within a filter and agglomerate into a ball of solids combined with the filter media. These masses block the passage of water, causing higher velocity filtration and uneven distribution. Ultimately, they affect filter performance and effluent quality, while shortening filter run lengths—all signs of problems.
