Coarse Quartz Filter Sand are used as second topmost layer in filter bed. Quartz sand is a silica, crystalline quartz media which can be used as highly efficient filter media for the reduction of suspended matter. Its fractured edges and irregular surface provides a high surface area and complex flow path for efficient removal of suspended matter throughout the filter bed. It's larger particle size creates less pressure loss through the filter and allows deeper sediment penetration into the bed for higher sediment loading and longer filter runs.

Advantages

• Filter Sand is all-natural, environmentally safe product
• Angular shape of the uncrushed filter sand promotes good flow and even distribution
• Reduces the load on downstream equipment
• Cost Effective
