Media filtration is the oldest and most basic filtration process for trapping and removing sediment and particulates from water supplies. We provide two types of sediment filtration: Multi-media sand systems, and Nextsand. The Multi-media sand systems consist of variable graded sand, coupled with a primary layer of anthracite (coal with high carbon content) for reducing colour and organics. These filters are ideal for the reduction of dirt, scale, rust and organic matter. The principle is to remove larger particles at the top layers, and smaller particles are removed deeper in the filter media. Nextsand is a newer technology based on a rare natural mineral that is highly processed and refined. It has twice the capacity of multimedia filters, and a higher flow rate of 3-4 times that of multimedia, with Nextsand media lasting 5 years or more.
