- Advanced Manufacturing Technology
- Slightly negative charge attract particles (released on backwash)
What is is for?
-
- Substitute for Silica Filter Media
- To begin taking advantage of the benefits of Glass Filter Media:
- Remove old filter media
- Fill with Glass Filter Media
- Start normal operations
- Water Savings!:
- Reduced Backwash time
- Approximately 50% savings
- Fewer Backwashes needed
- Energy (and equipment) Savings:
- Less friction loss
- Increased filtered water volume
- Less Equipment Maintenance
- Chemical Cost Savings:
- Flocculent products
- Disinfection products
- PH control products
- Longer Life Span
- Silica lasts 3 – 5 years, glass media will last 15 years
- A single grain type is used, filters can be emptied for maintenance and the same media can be reused.
- Increased Quality and Hygiene:
- Reduces the presence of bacteria
- Does not build up a biofilm
- Reduced Chloramines & presence of disinfectants
