The utility model discloses a horizontal gravel filter, which belongs to the technical field of filters and comprises a skid-mounted base, a filter tank is arranged on the skid-mounted base, a water inlet, a water outlet and a drain outlet are arranged on the filter tank, and a water
distributor and a water collector are arranged on the inner side of the filter tank. The problems that most existing filters are in a
vertical cylinder shape, the overall height is large, overhaul and maintenance are inconvenient, a
filter material layer is inconvenient to clean, and the use effect is poor can be solved. According to the horizontal gravel filter disclosed by the utility model, under the condition of the same
diameter, the filtering area is larger, the overall height is reduced, the maintenance is convenient, the water
distributor adopts overflow water distribution, the water distribution is more uniform, the
impact on a
filter material layer is small, the uniform
water collection can be ensured, the water can be uniformly distributed during
backwashing, and the water can be uniformly distributed according to the
water volume. A plurality of filters are combined for filtering, and even can be stacked into two
