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)
