Filter Media

 
Silica 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

 

Filter Gravel
Filter Gravel 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
