GENERAL INFO
Next-Sand™ is a remarkable advance in media filtration technology. Based on a rare natural mineral that is highly processed and refined, Next-Sand™’s unique properties allow it to radically alter the performance and cost of media filtration. The hardness, stability, and micro-porous character of Next-Sand™ make it a perfect filtration media for virtually every application in the water and wastewater treatment industry.
FEATURES BENEFITS
- High filtration performance-3-5 micron removal
- High capacity filtration throughout the entire Next-Sand™ bed depth provides more than twice the capacity of multimedia filtration
- High Service Flow– 3-4 times that of multimedia with superior filtration.
- Long-lasting media (>5 years) not consumed in the process
- Simple periodic backwash keeps the media clean and operating efficiently
STRUCTURAL® POLYGLASS TANK
Pentair® Structural Polyglass Vessels have been the industry standard for quality and performance for over 30 years.
