Glass Filter Media Grade 1: 0.6-1.4mm (20kg)

A popular and economical alternative to silca sand:

• Suitable for use in pressure filter vessels
• Crushed virgin plate glass (no bottle glass)
• Locally developed and manufactured from recycled material
• Slightly negative charge attracts particles and is released on backwash
• Glass media will last up to15 years

Advantages:

• longer filter runs
• less backwash time
• lower friction losses
• negatively charged media attracts particles
• filter to 5micron
• lower bulk density
• uniform particle size distribution or non-channel forming
• less dense than silica requiring lower backwash flow rates
• longer lifespan than silica sand

Particle size distribution:

• Grade 0: 0.425 - 0.6mm
• Grade 1: 0.6 - 1.4mm
• Grade 2: 1.4 - 2.0mm
• Grade 3: 2.0 - 4.0mm
