Sand
Filter sand is an extremely effective filter
media because of its ability to hold back precipitates containing
impurities. Filter sand size, angularity and hardness are
the important filter sand characteristics to ensure proper
filtering. Products
meet or exceed the NSF/ANSI Standard 61 for Drinking
Water System Components. As well as AWWA Standard B100-01 Physical Specifications
Effective Sizes: .20mm – 2.5mm
Uniform Coefficient: 1.3 – 1.7
Specific Gravity: 2.67
Moh’s Hardness: 7
Density: 105 – 115 lbs per cubic foot

Anthracite
Kleen Industrial Services is a direct distributor
for Mountaintop Anthracite. Mountaintop Anthracite filter
media is dry processed and is produced from the highest
quality anthracite available to ensure the physical characteristics
of hardness, durability and performance. Anthracite typically
produces consistent improvements in turbidity removal
because, in part, to more efficient solids loading. Low
uniformity coefficient media also produces smaller changes
in effluent turbidity during periods of peak influent
turbidity. Products meet or exceed the NSF/ANSI
Standard 61 for Drinking Water System Components. As
well as AWWA Standard B100-01
Physical Specifications
Effective Sizes: .60mm – 1.6mm
Uniform Coefficient: 1.3 – 1.7
Specific Gravity: 1.3
Moh’s Hardness: 3
Density: 50 lbs per cubic foot
Moisture: <2.0%

Garnet
Garnet is an ideal water filter media. Garnet
is a chemically inert and non-metallic mineral, which is
commonly found in the natural environment. Garnet is well
known for its hardness and durability. It has a high specific
gravity as well as its chemical and abrasive resistance makes
garnet an ideal filter media. This product occurs
both in large sizes conducive to support beds, and in
smaller sizes for cap beds and is dense enough to allow
faster back flushing. Products meet or exceed the NSF/ANSI
Standard 61 for Drinking Water System Components. As
well as AWWA Standard B100-01
Physical Specifications
Effective Sizes: .20mm – 2.0mm
Uniform Coefficient: <1.6
Specific Gravity: >4.0
Density: 120 - 140 lbs per cubic foot
