Highly Graded, the best quality filter media origin from River and rock are available as per customer specifications.

Sand filter media typically consists of silica sand, which is a naturally occurring mineral composed of silicon dioxide (SiO2). The sand grains are usually uniform, which allows for effective filtration. The media works by trapping particles as water flows through it, providing a physical barrier to contaminants.

Various type of media based on size are defined as Gravels, Pebbles, Fine Sand, Coarse Sand and silex based on size and quality.

Key characteristics include:

Grain Size: Generally ranges from 0.5 mm to 40 mm. Shape: Angular or sub-angular grains are preferred for better packing and filtration efficiency. Porosity: High porosity allows for good water flow while retaining contaminants.

The high porosity allows activated carbon to trap a wide range of contaminants through the process of adsorption, where molecules adhere to the surface of the carbon.

High Surface Area: Typically ranges from 300 to 2,000 m² per gram.

Porosity: Contains millions of tiny pores that enhance its adsorptive capacity.

Chemical Reactivity: Can be treated to enhance its ability to adsorb specific contaminants.
