Commercial Filter Media

Waterco offers a comprehensive range of water treatment media including zeoplus, garnet, glass Antrhacite, Activated Carbon, Ion exchange resins and iron removal media.

Glass Pearls

How it works:
One of the newest filter media on the market, Glass Pearls offer a filtration level comparable to DE. Made from pure glass, the Glass Pearls filter out anything larger than 3 microns, giving you superior quality water.

Pros:

Small effective size of only 0.6mm to 0.8mm. Its narrow particle size range allows very effective in-depth filtration

Spherical shape of beads means less friction levels inside the filter and therefore requiring only 20% of the water you would use to backwash a sand filter
Chemically inert, safe, smooth and high purity

Cons:

Still requires backwashing occasionally
More costly than sand and Zeoplus

Zeoplus

ZeoPlus is a naturally occurring mineral rock, found in areas where there has been historic volcanic activity. Its microporous structure will significantly improve water clarity.

Pros:

Superior water clarity to sand

Cons:

Still requires backwashing occasionally
More costly than sand
