Filter-Ag 1 CuFt, 28.3 Liters

Achieve crystal-clear water with the Filter-Ag 1 CuFt, 28.3 Liters. Designed using advanced silica dioxide media, this filter material delivers exceptional particle reduction, making it a go-to choice for both industrial and residential water purification systems.

Key Benefits

  • Advanced Filtration Technology

    • Non-aqueous silica dioxide-based media for efficient particle removal.
    • Effectively filters particles as small as 20-40 microns, such as sand, rust, and silt.
  • Highly Durable Composition

    • Light gray to white color with fractured edges and heterogeneous surfaces for optimal filtration.
    • Ensures deeper sediment penetration and longer filtration cycles.
  • Cost-Efficient and Reliable

    • Reduced maintenance due to simple backwashing and easy flushing processes.
    • Low bulk density minimizes shipping and operational costs.
  • Versatile Applications

    • Ideal for sediment filters and multi-media filtration systems.
    • Performs efficiently in both pressure and gravity filtration setups.

Why Choose Filter-Ag?

The unique design of Filter-Ag granules allows for an extended filtration surface. Its irregular edges trap suspended solids effectively, while its lightweight composition ensures efficient backwashing to maintain performance. Whether for industrial or domestic use, this filter media is tailored to deliver clean, safe water.

How It Works

The Filter-Ag granules create a unique filtration process. When water flows through the media, particles like sand, rust, and silt are captured within the granules' rough surface. Over time, as the filter collects more debris, pressure increases. To restore optimum functionality, a simple backwash clears the trapped particles, making the filter ready for use again.

Applications

  • Removes particles including sand and silt as small as 20-40 microns.
  • Retains iron in low concentrations with its jagged edges.
  • Perfect for sediment filters, pressure filters, gravity filters, and multi-media filtration systems.
