Waterco Glass media has the green credentials, and with its superior performance is also cost effective in comparison to sand for use in pressurized sand filters.
Ideal for use in applications that require mechanical filtration only - note, it is not suitable for use as a biological media like oolitic sand.
Waterco Glass media has many benefits over sand:
Removes 30% more material and pollutants than sand.
Requires less energy to backwash, and therefore results in less energy usage and water loss.
Keeps cleaner.It will not channel like sand, and its smooth heat treated surfaces are less susceptible to bio-fouling.
Requires less material, as it is less dense than sand, requiring 20% less media to fill the equivalent filter.
Doesn’t degrade, and therefore has a longer life span.
