GLASS FILTER MEDIA

Glass Filter Media Filtration

Effectively filters microplastics, organic matter and heavy metals as small as 5 microns from the water. These contaminants are easily removed from the filter bed via shorter, slower backwashes (which themselves save water and energy).

It has a surface negative charge density which works well with coagulants and flocculants to remove dissolved components.

Prevents the growth of bacteria in the filter bed, completely eliminating bio coagulation. The channeling that occurs in sand filters is also eliminated.

Product water will have at least 50% lower chlorine oxidation demand than an equivalent sand filter, so lower concentration of disinfection by products.

Silica Sand is a natural resource, hence over time as water passes through the media either via normal filtering or backwashing, its particle size decreases and in some cases the media hardens. It therefore creates pressure fluctuations, affecting the efficiency of your water filtration system. Ultra Clear doesn’t harden or cause pressure drops in your filter system. The media is much more durable and consistent during the filters lifecycle.

Will last as long as your filter does and in that time will continue to provide crystal clear water, reducing the need for chlorine and thereby vastly reducing harmful chloramines and other by-products of disinfection.
