Description

Activated glass filter media grade 3 (2 – 4 mm) 20kg is an advanced, environmentally friendly filtration media manufactured from high-purity recycled glass. Engineered to outperform traditional silica sand, it delivers superior filtration performance, improved water clarity, and enhanced system efficiency.

Its activated surface and angular particle design help optimise water flow while reducing channeling and limiting biofilm formation within the filter bed. The result is cleaner, healthier water, lower maintenance requirements, and reduced operating costs.

Suitable for swimming pools, drinking water treatment, borehole filtration, irrigation systems, industrial filtration, and wastewater treatment, Activated Glass Filter Media provides a significantly longer service life than conventional silica sand while reducing water, energy, and chemical consumption.
