Abstract

Embodiments of the invention provide a filtration system comprising a filter tank. In some embodiments, at least portions of an inlet pipe and an outlet manifold can be positioned within the filter tank. At least one manifold assembly can be coupled to the outlet manifold and also can be positioned within the filter tank. In some embodiments, the manifold assembly can include at least one first aperture, at least one second aperture, and at least one first cavity positioned within the manifold assembly. In some embodiments, the second aperture can fluidly connect the first cavity and the outlet manifold. Also, at least one filter can be coupled to the manifold assembly so that the first aperture fluidly connects the filter to the first cavity.
