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


• Slightly negative charge attract 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 15 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 environmental impact
    
    
    • Glass Media is 100 % recyclable
