    The maximum capacity of a water treatment plant depends on water consumption rates and available treated water storage. Selecting the number and size of filters requires balancing cost and operational ease, with a minimum of three filters to ensure continued production when one is repaired and another is backwashed. While more filters provide operational flexibility, they also result in greater expense for controls and equipment. It is generally not desirable to build much excess filter capacity, as expansion is comparatively easy and extra filter boxes can be constructed without full installation until extra capacity is needed.

    The clear well and plant capacity

    The maximum capacity of a filter plant depends in the water consumption


    rate and the storage available for treated water.
    Selecting the number and the size of individual filter units also involves
    balancing cost and ease of operation. A minimum of three filters is required to
    assure continued production while one unit is out of operation for repair and a
    second is being backwashed. A large number of filters provides more flexibility
    to the operator, but great expense for controls and other appurtenances.
    It is generally not desirable to build much excess filter capacity, since
    expansion is comparatively easy. At some plants, extra filter boxes may be
    constructed without installing underdrains, piping, media and other
    appurtenances until the extra capacity is required.
