Advantages of filter sand compared to other silica sands: longer filter runs; deep bed penetration; less than 0.5% acid solubility; virtually free from fines and silts; high quality silica sand and consistent uniformity; filter media that meets or exceeds ISI specifications; water output quality 10-15 microns (sand 0.5 1.0 mm); washed, dried, and screened to meet exacting specifications;sub-angular shape provides for maximum turbidity entrapment; uniform coefficients less than 1.4 resulting in a highly uniform bed; increased surface area thereby improving particle removal while still providing maximum water flow; and reduced initial backwash cycles, saving significant amounts of time and water in start-up backwash cycle.
