Filter-Ag is a filter media based on non-aqueous silica dioxide. It is designed to reduce contents of suspended particles in water.
KEY FEATURES
- Improved dirt holding capacity
- Saves your money, due to high capacity and low regeneration costs
- Eco-friendly, because it's made of chemically inert material
- Low pressure loss at the Filter-Ag bed compared to other filter media
- Light weight reduces water consumption during backwash
- High efficiency results in lower expenses related to the equipment
- High sediments reduction capacity leads to longer service life of the media
- Replacement of sand with Filter-Ag increases filter capacity by 100% or more

How it works
The Filter-Ag granules have fractured edges and non-uniform surface which provide large filtration surface.
In the filtering process water enters the filter vessel, passes through a layer of media, which detains mechanical impurities (sand, rust, silt, etc.)
When contaminants "clog" the free space of the material, the pressure drop in the filter increases and the productivity drops. In this case, the Filter-Ag is flushed and back flushed with a reverse flow of water. After it, the filter is ready to purify the water again.
Application
Filter-Ag can remove particles having a size of 20-40 microns (sand, silt, etc.).
The structure of the granules is heterogeneous, which contributes to a more active retention of particles, including iron in low concentrations.
Consumers
Used in water purification pressure and gravity filters. Thanks to its density, Filter-Ag can also be applied in multimedia filters, incl. sediment filters.
