Description
Activated Glass Filter Media Grade 0 (0.425 – 0.597 mm) 20kg is a premium filtration media manufactured from high-purity recycled glass. Designed as a superior alternative to traditional silica sand, it delivers improved filtration performance, enhanced water clarity, and greater operational efficiency.
The specially processed glass particles feature an angular shape and activated surface that capture finer suspended particles while reducing channeling and limiting biofilm formation within the filter bed. This results in cleaner water, improved hygiene, lower maintenance requirements, and reduced operating costs.
Suitable for both new filter installations and replacing existing silica sand, Activated Glass Filter Media offers a long service life while helping to reduce water, energy, and chemical consumption.
