Filter / River Sand and Gravel water filtration media are naturally clean filtration media useful for applications related to industrial, municipal, and household water treatment.
Advantages of using our Filter / River Sand compared to other filter sands
Longer filter runs.
Deep bed penetration.
Less than 0.5% acid solubility.
Virtually free from fines and silts.
High Quality silica sand and consistent uniformity.
Filter media that meets or exceeds ISI specifications.
Water output quality 10 - 15 microns. (Sand 0.45 - 0.70 mm)
Washed, dried and screened to meet exacting specifications.
Sub-angular shape provides for maximum turbidity entrapment.
Uniform coefficients less than 1.4 resulting in a highly uniform bed.
Increased surface area thereby improving particle removal while still providing maximum water flow
Reduced initial backwash cycles, saving significant amounts of time and water in your start - up backwash cycle.
