Advanced Turbidity and Sediment Reduction Media
NextSand™ is a popular media used for turbidity and general sediment reduction. NextSand™ is a highly-processed and graded media composed of a naturally-occuring alumino-silicate mineral. It is capable of filtration down to the 3 to 5 microns level with higher service flow rates, less pressure loss, and with lower backwash flow rates than conventional multi-media filters.
- 3 to 5 micron removal possible with optimal bed design
- Twice the capacity of multi-media filters
- Up to 4 times higher service flow rates with less pressure drop
- Significantly lower backwash flow rates
- Durable - long life
- ANSI/NSF 61 validated
NextSand™ is a direct replacement for other modern turbidity and sediment reduction media including Filter Ag, Filter Ag Plus, Turbidex, and Micro Z.
