Description
8″ Diameter glass filter media system with an automatic 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.
In fact 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.
What is 8″ Diameter glass filter media system with an automatic backwash head?
Made from grains of recycled glass, glass filter media is used in media filters to keep debris and bacteria out of your water. As water is pumped to the filter, it passes through the glass media, which captures particles using a static charge.
