DOUBLE THE PERFORMANCE WITHOUT NEEDING THE ADDITIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT
Benefits of Glass Filter Media Filtration
Effectively filters microplastics, organic matter and heavy metals as small as 5 microns from the water. These contaminants are easily removed from the filter bed via shorter, slower backwashes (which themselves save water and energy).
It has a surface negative charge density which works well with coagulants and flocculants to remove dissolved components.
Prevents the growth of bacteria in the filter bed, completely eliminating bio coagulation. The channeling that occurs in sand filters is also eliminated.
Product water will have at least 50% lower chlorine oxidation demand than an equivalent sand filter, so lower concentration of disinfection by products.
Silica Sand is a natural resource, hence over time as water passes through the media either via normal filtering or backwashing, its particle size decreases and in some cases the media hardens. It therefore creates pressure fluctuations, affecting the efficiency of your water filtration system. Ultra Clear doesn’t harden or cause pressure drops in your filter system. The media is much more durable and consistent during the filters lifecycle.
Will last as long as your filter does and in that time will continue to provide crystal clear water, reducing the need for chlorine and thereby vastly reducing harmful chloramines and other by-products of disinfection.
COST SAVING
Quick ROI with no additional infrastructure investment - less chemicals, maintenance and 50% backwash water saving.
BETTER PERFORMANCE
Experience more than double the performance of an existing filtration system with 20% more water clarity.
ECO-FRIENDLY
100% recycled material, reduces environmental impact through improved performance and lasts up to 20 years.
Water Savings
Our product requires less frequent backwash cycles in comparison to using sand filter media, contributing to a backwash water loss saving for residential and industrial applications.
• Reduced Backwash time
• Approximately 50% savings
• Fewer Backwashes needed

ENERGY (AND EQUIPMENT) SAVINGS
Ultra Clear filter media doesn’t harden or dissolve, minimizing the risk of pressure drops in your filter system. This saves you time and cost on on-going equipment maintenance issues.
• Less friction loss
• Increased volume
• Less Equipment Maintenance
CHEMICAL COST SAVINGS
Ultra Clear media resists biofouling and bio coagulation, decreasing the additional usage of chemicals to clean and disinfect your water and filter media. Due to its very efficient water treatment properties, your flocculent and chemical dosage are reduced.
• Flocculent products
• Disinfection products
• PH control products
LONGER LIFE SPAN
Our filter media is extremely durable and doesn’t contain weaker areas that will splinter off during the filter and backwash cycle. Plate glass contains metal oxides which improves the durability, shock resistance and temperature resistance of the product.
• Glass media will last up to 25 years
• A single grain type is used, filters can be emptied for maintenance and the same media can be used again
INCREASED QUALITY AND HYGIENE
The filter media has a slight negative charge, Free radicals (O’ and HO’) are formed on the surface of the glass filter media. These free radicals has a very strong oxidation potential which protects the media from bacterial growth.• Reduces presence of bacteria
• Does not build up a bio-film
• Reduced Chloramines & presence of disinfectants
Eco-Friendly
Our glass filter media is 100 % recyclable and reusable. At the end of its life sand filter media is disposed of. Normally waste sand is put into landfill.
Glass filter media is one of the few products born to utilise an existing surplus. Drinks companies cannot reuse multi-coloured glass beads. Glass media capitilses on this by recycling glass beads to create an effective filtration media.
Glass filter media clean with chlorine or acid to improve efficiency
• Facility performs more efficiently, reducing environmental impact
• Glass Media is re-cyclable
WHAT CAN IT BE USED FOR?
Ultra Clear is used for the treatment of drinking water from Lakes, reservoirs, rivers, boreholes as well as:
• Wastewater to be recycled as potable water
• Brackish water and seawater prior to desalination membranes.
• Swimming pools, private & public
• Aquaculture and public aquaria marine or freshwater
• Water supply for Pharmaceuticals and Drinks companies
• Industrial process high purity water.
