Virgin Ultra Clear Glass

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)
