In the realm of water and wastewater treatment, the selection of filtration media plays a crucial role in ensuring clean, safe, and efficient operations. Among the various types of filtration media available, HiTech Glass Filtration Media stands out for its exceptional qualities and certifications.
Choosing the right glass media can significantly impact the performance and longevity of filtration systems, making HiTech Media the optimal choice for various applications.
Virgin Glass Media – The Biofilm Slayer
One of the most distinguishing features of HiTech Glass Filtration Media is that it is made from virgin glass. This means it is manufactured from unused, uncontaminated glass, ensuring that the media is completely free of bacteria and other contaminants.
This purity is critical because it prevents the formation of biofilm and algae, which are common issues with other filtration media. Biofilm formation can lead to biofouling, reducing the efficiency of the filtration system and requiring frequent maintenance.
HiTech Media’s guarantee of no biofilm formation, backed by its no biofilm certificate, sets it apart from other products that claim resistance but are still susceptible to biofouling.
NSF/ANSI 50 and 61 – Only Glass Media to have Both!
HiTech Glass Filtration Media is the only glass media on the market that has obtained both the NSF/ANSI 50 and 61 certifications. These certifications are a testament to the media’s quality and safety.
NSF/ANSI 50 certification pertains to products used in swimming pools, spas, and recreational water facilities, ensuring they meet health and safety standards. NSF/ANSI 61 certification, on the other hand, is crucial for products used in drinking water applications. It ensures that the media has been rigorously tested and approved for contact with drinking water, thereby separating high-quality products from those that might not be safe for human consumption or exposure.
These certifications provide assurance to users that HiTech Media meets the highest standards of safety and performance. Our certifications can be viewed here – NSF/ANSI 50 & NSF/ANSI 61.
Patented Anti-Compaction Technology
A significant advantage of HiTech Glass Filtration Media is its patented Anti-Compaction Technology. This unique feature ensures that the media does not compact under varying operational conditions and water flow pressures.
Compaction can compromise the integrity and performance of the media, leading to increased maintenance and replacement costs. HiTech Media’s anti-compaction properties mean that it maintains its shape and effectiveness, providing consistent filtration performance over time.
Moreover, unlike other glass media that require multiple layers of different sizes, HiTech Media can function efficiently with just one singular grade. This simplifies both the commissioning process and regular operations and maintenance, making it a more convenient and cost-effective solution.
Certified Absence of Free Silica
Another critical benefit of HiTech Glass Filtration Media is its certified absence of free silica. Free silica in filtration media can leach into water streams, causing heavy scaling on pipes and machinery surfaces. This scaling can significantly reduce the efficiency and lifespan of the filtration system.
HiTech Media, being free of silica, prevents such issues, ensuring that the equipment downstream remains efficient and has a longer operational life. This attribute makes HiTech Media particularly advantageous compared to traditional sand media, which often contain silica and pose risks of scaling and reduced system efficiency.
Choosing the right filtration media is essential for effective water and wastewater treatment. HiTech Glass Filtration Media offers numerous benefits, including being made from virgin glass, obtaining NSF/ANSI 50 and 61 certifications, featuring patented Anti-Compaction Technology, and ensuring the absence of free silica.
These attributes make it a superior choice for various applications, from swimming pools to drinking water systems. By selecting HiTech Media, users can ensure a reliable, efficient, and safe filtration process, ultimately leading to better water quality and system performance.
