Filter-Ag® Media – Economical Sediment & Turbidity Reduction

(A8014) 1 Cubic Feet : 25 Lbs

Product Overview
Filter-Ag® is a lightweight, cost-effective filtration media designed for the reduction of sediment, dirt, and turbidity in residential, commercial, and industrial water systems. Its highly fractured edges and irregular surfaces provide a large surface area and complex flow path, efficiently removing suspended particles down to the 20–40 micron range.

The larger particle size reduces pressure loss, increases sediment holding capacity, and extends filter run cycles. Its lightweight design allows for lower backwash flow rates and improved bed expansion for effective cleaning.

Key Benefits
