The Most Efficient Water Filtration MEDIA

With more than 30 years of experience in water purification and filtration, Ultra Water (Pty) Ltd. has refined its leadership position, pioneering the development and application of OEM filtration technologies aimed at improving potable, industrial and wastewater process efficiencies. Our history in filter media is vast and the knowledge base within our group of companies has grown from supplying various filter media to developing South Africa’s only glass crushing and screening plant that uses virgin glass to produce speciality graded filter media for narrow envelopes. Ultra Clear glass filter media is a direct replacement for silica (quartz) sand:

SAFE, EFFECTIVE AND RELIABLE

Doubling the performance of sand filters
with 20% more clarity;
Resists biofouling, bio-coagulation and transient wormhole channelling;
Filters down to sub 5 micron for effective turbidity and colour removal;
Requires up to 20% less media; Outlasts all other filter media and Never needs to be regenerated.
Glass is less dense than sand and therefore doesn’t pack as tight, meaning no gaps are formed for unfiltered water to pass through the filter bed. This density differential has other positive impacts such as a lesser propensity to form a ‘filter cake’. Filtration efficiency is greatly decreased by ‘filter cake’ formation.
Key Applications of Water Treatment:

The Most Efficient Water Filtration MEDIA

Ultra Clear glass media can be used in all types of filtration systems (pressure sand filters and rapid gravity filters) for the treatment of drinking water, process water and waste water treatment. Filters should be operated with the slowest possible hydraulic loading to optimise the filtration performance. Ultra Clear glass media can be used in the following applications:
Treatment of ground and surface water for drinking purposes
Removal of arsenic, iron, manganese, and chromium at high flow rates
Pre-treatment for brackish and seawater membrane filtration
Post-treatment of wastewater for recycling into potable water
Filtration systems for both private and public swimming pools
Treatment of irrigation water to remove metals, sediments, and organic matter
Management of water in aquaculture and public aquariums
Production of high-purity water for industrial applications
Filtration of cooling tower side-streams
Tertiary treatment of effluent
Municipal wastewater treatment

ULTRA CLEAR VS SAND FILTER MEDIA

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 glass media doesn’t harden or cause pressure drops in your filter system. The media is much more durable and consistent during the filters lifecycle.

OTHER ADVANTAGES

Mechanical repairs to filter pumps will be reduced by 30%-50%.
Energy consumption saving (reduction in operation of backwash pump).
Higher water quality:
Filters to sub 5 micron compared to sand 15-20 micron.
Less turbidity and better color removal.
Safety and consistency:
Extremely durable and rigid. Doesn’t splinter off during filter and backwash cycle.
Doesn’t cut your hands when handling media.
Longer lifespan:
Glass media will last up to 20-25 years. Filters can be emptied for maintenance and the same media can be reused again.
BlueDrop status is easier to achieve with a higher water quality and reduction in water loss.
