Filtralite® Pure MC 0,8-1,6
Description
Filtralite® Pure MC 0,8-1,6 is high quality filter media, manufactured from expanded clay material, used for filtration in drinking water treatment and in swimming pool filters.
Product
Crushed clay aggregates, medium density, 0,8-1,6 mm.
Advantages
Filtralite® media, with its highly porous structure, enables improved filter efficiency by longer filter runs between backwashes, which means reduced energy and water consumption and higher water production, consequently giving reduced operating costs.
