Grade 1 Glass Filter Media 20kg Bag

Description

20kg Bag of Grade 1 (0.597mm to 1.4mm) Glass Filter Media

Clear glass media is made from unused virgin plate glass designed to produce a unique glass filter media consisting of sub-angular, spherical shape particles with a high surface area for superior mechanical filtration and adsorption.

Why use Ultra Clear Glass Filter Media?

• Water Savings: Ultra Clear Glass Media’s superior permeability reduces backwash time and frequency, saving approximately 50% in backwash water loss compared to sand filters.
• Equipment Savings: It doesn’t harden, minimizing pressure drops and reducing maintenance costs, with less friction loss and increased filtered water volume.
• Increased Quality: Prevents bacteria growth (e.g., Legionella) and biofilm buildup, eliminating biocoagulation and wormhole channelling common in sand filters.
• Chemical Cost Savings: Lower chlorine oxidation demand reduces chemical use for water treatment and disinfection, including pH control.
• Health Benefits: Reduced chlorine oxidation lowers harmful byproducts like Chloramines and Trihalomethanes.
• Eco-Friendly: Made from 100% recyclable glass, contributing to sustainability by reusing surplus glass for effective filtration.
• Energy Savings: Reduced backwash pump operation lowers carbon emissions, saving energy and reducing environmental impact.

Ultra Clear vs. Traditional Silica Sand:

Silica sand can wear down over time, causing pressure changes and reducing filtration efficiency. In contrast, Ultra Clear glass media stays durable and consistent, preventing pressure drops and maintaining better filtration performance throughout its life.

Applications:

• Ground and surface water treatment for potable use
• Removal of arsenic, iron, ferric, and manganese at high flow rates
• Pre-treatment for brackish and seawater membrane filtration
• Post-treatment of wastewater for recycling as potable water
• Stormwater runoff filtration
• Swimming pool filtration (private & public)
• Irrigation water treatment to remove contaminants
• Aquaculture and public aquaria filtration (marine & freshwater)
• High-purity water for process and production use
• Boiler feed and cooling tower side-stream filtration
• Tertiary treatment of effluent
• Municipal raw and wastewater treatment

Other Advantages:

• Reduced Maintenance: Mechanical repairs to filter pumps are reduced by 30%–50%.
• Energy Savings: Lower energy consumption due to reduced backwash pump operation.
• Higher Water Quality: Filters to sub-5 microns (compared to sand’s 20 microns), with less turbidity and better color removal.
• Safety and Consistency: Extremely durable, rigid, and safe to handle without splintering or cutting hands during filter cycles.
• Longer Lifespan: Glass media lasts up to 15 years and can be reused after filter maintenance.
• Blue Drop Status: Achieve better water quality and reduced water loss more easily.
