Product Information
FS2 Fine Filter Sand 99.1% (SiO₂)
Size: 0.60 -1.20mm
- Particle Size Uniformity
- Ensures consistent filtration performance,
- Optimised for applications requiring high-grade filtration.
- Promotes even distribution of water through the filter bed.
- Reduces the likelihood of channelling or uneven flow within the filter.
- Supports Biological Filtration
- In systems like slow sand filters, quartz sand provides a medium for microbial biofilm development, which helps in the biological breakdown of organic contaminants.
- High Mechanical Strength, slightly lower than quartz
- Durable and resistant to breakdown under high flow rates or backwashing conditions, ensuring long service life and minimal maintenance.
