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)
*Shipping Notice for Bags of Filtration Media and Resins:
- Due to the heavyweight of some of the filtration media and Resin bags, they require specialized logistics and heavy-duty handling during shipping.
- This fact necessitates that additional shipping charges be added to the price of some of the filtration media and Resin Bags for secure, professional transport of them.
- However, you can completely avoid these extra shipping costs by choosing to collect yourself or sending your own couriers to collect from our warehouse in Centurion, Pretoria.
- This option can be selected when placing your order through the online store or by contacting our sales staff, and requesting this option.
- **Please note that by opting for independent collection either by yourself or by your own courier, you assume full responsibility for any potential transit damage, and Filtershop will not be liable for issues arising once the unit has left our facility.
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)
