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)
