It uses specially manufactured \u003cstrong data-start=\"870\" data-end=\"892\"\u003evirgin plate glass\u003c\/strong\u003e rather than recycled bottle glass, giving it a slightly negative charge that helps attract and hold particles.

In fact, systems using this media often need \u003cstrong data-start=\"1344\" data-end=\"1364\"\u003efewer backwashes\u003c\/strong\u003e and consume up to \u003cstrong data-start=\"1383\" data-end=\"1416\"\u003eabout half the backwash water\u003c\/strong\u003e compared with sand media. Moreover, less friction loss helps increase filtered water flow and lower equipment wear.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-start=\"1572\" data-end=\"1937\"\u003eThis \u003cstrong data-start=\"1577\" data-end=\"1593\"\u003efilter media\u003c\/strong\u003e also offers chemical cost savings, since reduced backwashing and higher efficiency mean you use fewer flocculants and disinfectants. Additionally, it can provide better hygiene, as the smooth glass surface does not foster biofilm buildup and lowers the presence of bacteria and chloramines in your system.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3 data-start=\"1944\" data-end=\"1991\"\u003eKey Features of Crushed Glass Filter Media\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli data-start=\"1993\" data-end=\"2213\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1993\" data-end=\"2024\"\u003eHigh‑Tech Glass Composition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2024\" data-end=\"2027\"\u003eMade from virgin plate glass with an engineered charge that attracts particles effectively, providing cleaner water and more efficient filtration.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-start=\"2215\" data-end=\"2405\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"2215\" data-end=\"2245\"\u003eSubstitute for Silica Sand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2245\" data-end=\"2248\"\u003eIntended to replace sand in traditional filters, offering longer life and improved performance with fewer backwashes.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-start=\"2407\" data-end=\"2578\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"2407\" data-end=\"2433\"\u003eWater \u0026amp; Energy Savings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2433\" data-end=\"2436\"\u003eBackwashing takes less time and uses less water, and smoother flow means less energy lost to friction.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-start=\"2580\" data-end=\"2731\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"2580\" data-end=\"2604\"\u003eLower Chemical Costs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2604\" data-end=\"2607\"\u003eReduces the need for frequent chemical treatment like flocculants and disinfectants.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-start=\"2733\" data-end=\"2926\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"2733\" data-end=\"2759\"\u003eImproved Water Quality\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2759\" data-end=\"2762\"\u003eGlass media discourages biofilm formation, lowers bacteria presence, and reduces disinfectant residuals such as chloramines.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-start=\"2928\" data-end=\"3086\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"2928\" data-end=\"2960\"\u003eLonger Lifespan \u0026amp; Recyclable\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2960\" data-end=\"2963\"\u003eGlass media can last significantly longer than silica sand and is fully recyclable.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3 data-start=\"3093\" data-end=\"3122\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli data-start=\"3126\" data-end=\"3178\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"3126\" data-end=\"3143\"\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crushed Glass Filter Media 25 kg\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-start=\"3181\" data-end=\"3246\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"3181\" data-end=\"3192\"\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25 kg per bag\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-start=\"3249\" data-end=\"3348\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"3249\" data-end=\"3262\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Virgin plate glass, engineered filter media\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-start=\"3351\" data-end=\"3469\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"3351\" data-end=\"3380\"\u003eParticle Characteristics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slight negative charge for particle attraction\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-start=\"3472\" data-end=\"3576\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"3472\" data-end=\"3485\"\u003eUse Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Substitute for silica sand in filtration systems\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-start=\"3579\" data-end=\"3715\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"3579\" data-end=\"3592\"\u003eBenefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reduced backwash water, lower chemical use, less friction loss, improved hygiene\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-start=\"3718\" data-end=\"3817\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"3718\" data-end=\"3736\"\u003eRecyclability:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glass filter media is fully recyclable\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3 data-start=\"3824\" data-end=\"3837\"\u003eBenefits\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp data-start=\"3839\" data-end=\"4289\"\u003eUsing \u003cstrong data-start=\"3845\" data-end=\"3875\"\u003ecrushed glass filter media\u003c\/strong\u003e in your water filtration system gives you cleaner, clearer water with fewer maintenance demands.
