11 January 2024 A new Phoenix going out the door. This is going to a customer in the North East of England.

31 August 2023 Old filters this time, not brand new. We have had two Phoenix Filters back from a steel works in South Wales for refurbishment. The first one dated from 2001, and the one pictured here is from 2010. Both have been refurbished with some new parts and a bit of a clean up.
The controls were still working and all re-used, except for the label.
We think it's a good advert for the Phoenix Filter, that can survive over twenty years in service, and then go on for another twenty.

These filters are fitted with a pneumatic ball valve on the backwash line, as site pressure can get very high.These two are going to a good customer in the North West. They have multiple Phoenix units on site already, all now made to the same specification so they have common spares.
