About the product

About this sand

Bio Media Sand is a filter media, commonly used for processing waste water, capturing harmful chemicals or silt from surface runoff, and micro-biotic oxidation of contaminants to support vegetation. Its role is to efficiently filter and purify groundwater or wastewater.

Our Bio Media Sand is carefully manufactured from a blend of graded pure sands, ensuring consistency and reliability. It undergoes a rigorous triple-washing process, using state-of-the-art equipment to eliminate any contaminants and guarantee that your filtration system operates at optimal performance levels.

One of the standout features of our Sand is its slow breakdown rate, ensuring that the sand has an extended filtration life. This characteristic not only reduces the frequency of replacement but also helps maintain the efficiency of your system for a longer period.

When used in conjunction with dual media filtration systems, such as in commercial filters and water treatment plants, Bio Media Sand excels in back-washing performance. Its composition allows for easy cleaning and maintenance.

Its application can be crucial in systems like wastewater treatment, stormwater management, and groundwater filtration.
