Description
13″ Diameter Glass Filter Media System With A Manual Backwash Head
Glass media filters can last up to 3 times longer than traditional silica sand. Sand filters usually have a life expectancy of less than 5 years. Whereas glass media filters can last longer than 10 years. Not only this, but the overall maintenance cost can be far less than a sand filer.
Glass Filtration Media replaces traditional sand media in all filtration applications. It is manufactured from a specific glass type and processed to obtain the optimum particle size and shape, and then activated to increase the surface area by 300 times over crushed glass or sand.
