Water Purification Media
High performance, multi-dimensional filter media.
What is Filtralite® Pure media?
Designed for drinking water treatment applications, Filtralite® Pure is a filter media suitable for both particle filtration and biological treatment.
Compared to traditional filter media, like sand and anthracite, Filtralite® media consistently provides:
- Comparatively, up to 30% more treated water on the same media volume
- Better biological growth due to the multi-dimensional surface area
- Consequently, increased water production, even with old filters
- Return on investment of less than three (3) years
Naturally Superior
Why is our media unique?
Our expanded clay ceramic media is made from natural clay deposits found in Norway. Baked in kilns to 1200° C then crushed and sieved, this produces a very porous material with multi dimensional surface area for optimal water purification performance.
Without a doubt, you need to learn up on how your peers have leveraged Filtralite for their needs, read some associated case studies here.
What are the advantages of a Filtralite® Pure in a single/dual filter?
Compared to traditional filter media, Filtralite® has much higher porosity, which gives:
- lower initial head loss
- slower differential pressure build up
- generally, higher particle capture capacity
- backwash waste volume markedly reduced by up to 35%
Filtralite® Pure performance in numbers
Single filters: Time between backwashes can be extended as much as 500%
Dual Media Filters: Up to eight (8) times less frequent backwashes
Biofilters: Additionally, up to 98% iron removal, 80% manganese removal and 90% ammonia removal
Existing Filtralite® filters operate from not only 1 gpm/ft2 up to 8 gpm/ft2 for physical filtration, but also up to 13 gpm/ft2 for biofilters.
What are the advantages of Filtralite® Pure in biological filters?
Compared to other media, Filtralite® has much higher porosity, which gives:
- high contact area for biofilm growth
- higher density compared to traditional media
- lighter weight
- overall, high durability to increase useful life
- larger biomass volume
