Description GLASS FILTER MEDIA What is it? A High-Tech Filter Media Virgin plate-glass (no bottle glass) Developed by Ultra Water in their laboratory in Dunoon Advanced Manufacturing Technology A slightly negative charge attracts particles (released on backwash) What is is for? Substitute for Silica Filter Media To begin taking advantage of the benefits of Glass Filter Media: Remove old filter media Fill with Glass Filter Media Start normal operations Water Savings!: Reduced Backwash time Approximately 50% savings Fewer Backwashes needed Energy (and equipment) Savings: Less friction loss Increased filtered water volume Less Equipment Maintenance Chemical Cost Savings: Flocculent products Disinfection products PH control products Longer Life Span Silica lasts 3 – 5 years, glass media will last 6 years A single-grain type is used, filters can be emptied for maintenance and the same media can be reused. Increased Quality and Hygiene: Reduces the presence of bacteria Does not build up a biofilm Reduced Chloramines & presence of disinfectants Longer Life Span The facility performs more efficiently, reducing the environmental impact Glass Media is 100 % recyclable
