Micro Z™ (Zeolite) Filter Media - 1 cuft - A7200

Micro Z™ (Zeolite) Media
Micro-Z is a high quality, granular, zeolite filter media that replaces conventional multimedia. It is produced from a unique mineral deposit having high surface area and porosity. The surface structure of Micro-Z features microscopic mineral projections that allow particulate matter to penetrate deeply into the bed. These properties make Micro Z an ideal filtration media.

Micro Z™ Media Features Benefits
• Higher Solids Loading Capabilities = Reduces back washing frequency and saves water
• Enhanced Filtration Performance = Finer filtration provides higher quality of water and reduces the load on downstream equipment
• High Service Flow Rate = Reduces new equipment costs and provides expansion opportunities for existing equipment
• Light Weight = Reduces shipping cost and easier to handle
• Lower Pressure Loss = Allows for higher flow rates
