Filtration Media
SWT logo FilterEase™
OXIDIZED METAL & PARTICULATE REDUCTION MEDIA

FilterEase™ is a new sediment filter media that water treatment dealers are using as a substitute for sand or other filter aggregates. The material is extremely hard and durable. It has a highly porous, ragged surface area that is excellent for use in the removal of oxidized materials such as iron. The filtration characteristics of FilterEase™ will typically allow for particle filtration of 5 to 10 micron.


One of the best features of FilterEase™ is that it will perform its duties while requiring less water in the backwash than traditional sediment filter media or sand. The media is extremely light in water so that the backwash rate is typically the same as the service flow rate. This makes FilterEase™ excellent for low pressure and low flow applications. It can actually save the customer money by allowing smaller pumps to be installed.

Since the media has a broad range of particle shapes and sizes, it will take the place of most multi-layered filter beds.

Typical applications include: residential well water, pool filters, car washes, post air injector filtration, pre filtration for softeners, RO systems, or carbon beds. Due to the extreme durability of FilterEase™, it also may be used in commercial and industrial applications requiring extreme velocities and rigorous backwash.




Warning
For safety and handling purposes, avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid breathing the dust and always use adequate ventilation.
