Activated Glass Media Filter
Activated glass media filters are a type of water filtration system that uses specially designed glass media to remove impurities from water. The glass media used in these filters is activated through a process of heating and chemical treatment, which makes it highly effective at removing a wide range of contaminants from water.
One of the benefits of activated glass media filters is that they require very little maintenance compared to other types of water filtration systems. The activated glass media can last for several years without needing to be replaced, and the filters themselves are easy to clean and maintain.
Key Features:
- Crystal clear water – filtration is much finer and much more stable than quartz sand or normal glass media
- No Bacteria – Legionella, vibrio, Cryptocaryon and many other pathogens grow in the protection of the biofilm. No biofilm means no place for pathogens to hide in the filter
- pH stability - No bacterial nitrification in the filter
- Reduced bioload - No bacteria mean less total load on the system and lower chlorine consumption in chlorinated systems
- No smell of chlorine – No heterotrophic bacteria mean no trichloramine and thus no disturbing smell and harmful disinfection byproducts
- Ecological and economical – No Biofilm, saves energy and chemical consumption by filtering more efficiently and saves 50% of backwash water compared to sand
