Filter Media
Filtration media is a proven technology for many types of applications and purposes including, removal of chlorine, sediment, iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide and acid neutralization as well. Media filtration systems can be combined and used as a pre-treatment or post treatment to additional water treatment systems, or a stand-alone water treatment solution.
Performance Chemicals carries a large wide selection of filtration media and support media to be used in all types of Media Filtration Systems.
Anthracite – Commonly used as a sub-fil and as component of multimedia filters. Anthracite is a durable media with long life and a wide temperature range. It contains no silica to interfere in the production of ultrapure water.
Filter Sand & Gravel – Also called Torpedo Sand, Coarse Sand, Filter Gravel. The sub-angular shape of silica sand enhances the mechanical filtration properties of multi-media filters. It is a dense media and acts as perfect sub-fil for non-silica sensitive applications such as water softeners and dealkalizers.
Garnet – Typically used in multi-media filters as the sub-bottom layers of the filter. Its density requires high backwash rates combining fine mesh garnet with other media such as sand and anthracite significantly increases the filtration capacity of a system.
KDF Process Media – High purity copper-zinc granules that use redox (the exchange of electrons) to remove chlorine, hydrogen sulfide, water soluble heavy metals, and microorganisms from water.
This highly effective, patented alloy removes more than 95% of free chlorine before it reaches your carbon bed, so your carbon can concentrate on removing organics, thus extending its useful service life by up to 15 times. With long lasting, recyclable KDF Process Media, RO Membranes and Ion Exchange Resins will last longer.
Birm – Granular filter media commonly used for the reduction of iron, and or manganese from residential raw water.
