    Ultra Clear Glass Filtration Media 

    The Ultra Clear Glass media is a High-Tech filtration media, used for the removal of sediment, dirt, rust, and other large particles in water. The Ultra Clear Glass Filtration Media is produced from virgin plate-glass.

    The Ultra Clear Glass Media can filter down to as fine as +/- 5 Micron, provided the finer grade media is used.  

    The Ultra Clear Glass Filtration media replaces traditional Silica Sand Media. Filtering to a much finer level, as well as having a much longer life span than typical silica sand media.

    The Ultra Clear Glass Filtration Media is available in three grades: 

    • Ultra Fine (0.425mm to 0.597mm Granules)
    • Fine (0.597mm to 1.4mm Granules) 
    • Coarse (1.4mm to 2mm Granules) 

    Benefits

    • Reduced Backwash time. Water Savings of up to 50%, compared to traditional sand silica media
    • Longer Life Span, up to 15 years. Whereas silica sand typically lasts 3 to 5 years. 
    • Reduced Bacteria growth (Biofilm) through Negative charged surface Area, adding to the increase in Life span.
    • Made from 100% Virgin plate-glass.
    • Environmentally Friendly, Glass Media is 100% recyclable.
    • Filters down to +/- 5 Micron (with Grade 0) 
    • Particles do not clump together, allowing for easier flow without resistance.
    • More uniformed filtration through media, without "channels" forming in the media bed.   

    Ultra Clear Compared to Traditional Silica Sand

    Negative Charged Surface area

    Self-sterilizing surface

    • When in contact with water flowing through the filter, a small number of free radicals (O- and HO-) are formed on the surface. These free radicals have a very strong oxidation potential which protects the media from bacterial growth

    Molecular structure

    • Plate glass contains metal oxides which improve the durability, shock resistance and temperature resistance of the product.

    Ultra Clear "Sub-angular" Granule Shape 

    Particle shape is of extreme importance. Sub-angular particles with high sphericity are needed for the increased contact area. Other crushing methods result in splintered particles that pack tightly against each other and restricts water flow.

    Benefits

    • Sub-angular Particle Shape Packs Less Dense, preventing resistance and allow for more efficient flow. 
    • Prevents "channeling" from occurring in the media bed, by having a uniform shape across the Bed Depth. 
    • Creates an optimum amount of surface area, helping to more effectively remove sediments and particles. 
    • Is safe to handle (does not cut hands) 

    Certification 

    Ultra Clear Glass Media has the following certification: 

    • ISO 9001:2015
    • ISO 14001:2015
    • OHSAS 18001:2007 

    Packaging 

    The Ultra Clear Filtration Media comes in 20kg Bags.
