Garnet

Product Description

Garnet is a high hardness, high density granular filter media. It is normally used as the lower (final) filtration in a multi-media bed down flow filtration system. Called multi-media or mixed media filtration, the high density, small grain size of Garnet solves a major filtration problems. In a single media granular filter such as a sand filter, the material will hydraulically classify during backwash according to granule size, the smallest rising to the top. When water flows downward through the sand, the fine particles at the top of the bed do most of the straining of the sediment. The penetration of the solids into the entire bed allows for increased solids storage, longer filter runs, and higher filtration rates.

Features and Benefits:

  • High specific gravity allows unique filter design in combination with other filter medias, higher flow rates, higher loading and better filtration can be achieved
  • High hardness reduces attrition and provides for years of reliable service medias

Garnet meets AWWA B100-96 specifications.

KDF®

KDF® Process Media delivers unmatched advantages for water filtration and purification systems. As a trusted supplier to the industry’s top OEMs and filter manufacturers, KDF®’s unique redox-based filtration, broad contaminant removal capability, microbial control, and durability make it stand out from conventional filtration technologies.

Redox (Oxidation-Reduction) Reaction: KDF® Process Media operate on the principle of redox reactions, where  electrons are transferred between  molecules. This process changes harmful contaminants into harmless components. For example, KDF® can convert chlorine into chloride, which is less reactive and non-toxic.

Broad Spectrum of Contaminant Removal: Unlike traditional carbon filters that primarily target organic  compounds and chlorine, KDF® Process Media can remove a wide range of contaminants, including heavy metals  (like lead, mercury, and nickel), chlorine, hydrogen sulfide, and even control microbial growth.

Enhanced System Performance and Longevity: KDF® Process Media significantly improve the efficiency of existing carbon-based systems by extending their lifespan, reducing maintenance needs, and lowering total operating costs.

Effective Microorganism Control: Our innovative media creates an environment that eliminates harmful microorganisms and disrupts the functioning of others, providing robust protection against microbial contamination and preventing biofouling without the need for chemical disinfectants.

High-Temperature Tolerance: KDF® Process Media can operate effectively in high-temperature environments, where other filtration materials like carbon may degrade. This makes it suitable for industrial and hot water applications, including showerhead filters.

Environmental Benefits: Being a recyclable material made from high-purity copper and zinc, KDF® Process Media have a lower environmental impact compared to disposable filter cartridges commonly used in other technologies.

Compatibility with Other Technologies: KDF® Process Media are often used in combination with other filtration systems, such as carbon filters or reverse osmosis units, enhancing their efficiency and lifespan by pre-treating the water and reducing the load on subsequent stages.

KDF® 55 Process Medium
Designed specifically for removing or reducing chlorine and
water-soluble heavy metals. It controls scale, bacteria and
algae, even in hot water. The process medium received NSF
International Certification and is certified by NSF to NSF/ANSI
Standard 42 – Drinking Water Treatment Units – Aesthetic
Effects. This medium is also in compliance with California’s
Health and Safety Code Section 166875 (or commonly know as
AB1953) and Vermont Act 193.

Rapid Sand

Certified to NSF/ANSI/CAN 61, which now includes NSF/ANSI/CAN 372 Lead Free requirements, rapid sand is a remarkable advance in media filtration technology. Based on a rare natural mineral that is highly processed and refined, rapid sand’s unique properties allow it to radically alter the performance and cost of media filtration. The hardness, stability and micro-porous character of sapid sand makes it a perfect filtration media for virtually every application in the water and wastewater treatment industry.

 

Features
High Filtration Performance: 3-5 Micron Removal
High-Capacity Filtration Throughout Bed: >2x The Capacity Of Multimedia Filtration
High Service Flow: 3-4 Times That Of Multimedia With Superior Filtration
Long Lasting Media: >5 Years (Not Consumed In The Process)
Simple, Periodic Backwash Required: Keeps The Media Clean & Operating Efficiently

 

Made from high purity clinoptilolite, which delivers superior performance over conventional filter sands or multimedia, and at a lower cost. The material is mined in western USA and then highly processed and graded; the resulting product is hard and stable with a high surface area and micro-porous character in addition to surface micro-crystals making it an ideal filter media

 

Rapid sand has high filtration performance at <5 micron compared to 12 to 15 micron for multimedia. It also has a higher flow capacity, typically three to four times that of multimedia. This higher flow rate means a greater performance can be achieved from existing vessels when upgraded with Next-Sand, or for new applications smaller filter vessels would be required to achieve the same results.

 

Filtration through the entire media bed depth provides more than twice the capacity of multimedia filtration. It has a higher dirt holding capacity so requires less frequent backwashing, leading to reduced downtime. Lighter weight and lower volume requirement means lower capital and shipping costs than multimedia and the product also lasts longer. The media isn’t consumed in the filtration process; a simple periodic backwash will keep the media clean and operating efficiently for five years or more.
