Media for the Reduction of Sediment and Turbidity - Filtration to 5 Microns or Less
Clack Filter-Ag Plus© is derived from a natural ore known as clinoptilolite. It is used to remove fine sediment and other suspended particulate matter from water. Filter-Ag Plus© granules have an angular shape, rough surface, and tiny void spaces as small as 3 microns, resulting in a surface area over 100 times more than filter sand. A properly designed filter bed is capable of filtration of suspended solids down to the 5 micron or even less.
Filter-Ag Plus © is commonly used in both pressure and gravity filtration systems, or used as a layer in multi-media filters to enhance performance.
Filter-Ag Plus © is a direct competitor to NEXT Filtration's NextSand.
