Definition: Ammites is a type of water filter used in drinking water systems to remove solids (such as sand, silt, and organic matter) from the water. Ammites are typically made up of a series of mesh screens placed together to form an effective filter. The most common size of ammite is about 50-100 microns in diameter and it can be found in several sizes ranging from the smallest to the largest. Ammites are commonly used for drinking water systems because they work well at removing large amounts of sand and other solids, while also filtering out some organic matter like bacteria and viruses. They are effective at capturing pollutants such as metals and lead, but not iron or copper, which are more common in water supplies. The filter mesh is placed on top of a basin or container that can be filled with water to catch the effluent (water from the ammite). The water comes from the ammite through a valve or pump, and it flows down an inner filter basket where it passes through the ammitte. Once the filter basket has filtered out all the solids, it is emptied into the basin or container. This process repeats over and over again until the ammitte has been completely filled with water. In summary, ammites are a type of water filter that removes solids from drinking water by filtering through mesh screens placed together. The filters in an ammite work well at removing large amounts of solid material (such as sand and silt) while also filtering out some organic matter like bacteria and viruses. The process involves filling the basin with water, catching the effluent, and emptying it into a container to catch more solid material.
