Filtration media - Glass media (Grade 1) - 20kg

Glass filter media 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 vis 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.

Glass filter media prevents the growth of bacteria in the filter bed, completely eliminating bio coagulation. The channeling that occurs in sand filters is also eliminated. Silica Sand is a natural resource, hence over time as the water passes through the media either via normal filtering or backwashing, it's particle size decreases and in some cases the media hardens. It therefore creates pressure fluctuations, affecting the efficiency of your water filtration system. Glass filter media doesn't harden or cause pressure drops in your filter system. The media is much more durable and consistent during the filters lifecycle.

The glass filter media 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.

Benefits:

• Negative charge prevents bacterial growth
• Superior filtration
• Reduced backwash time
• Longer lifetime
• 100% recyclable
• Self -sterilizing
• Four times more effective than sand
• Engineered to be highly electrostatic
