Clack Filter-Ag Plus®: Natural, Efficient Media for Cleaner Water
Clack Filter-Ag Plus® leverages a unique natural material for exceptional water filtration. This clinoptilolite-based media offers several advantages, including deep bed filtration for superior water quality and reduced backwash frequency. Explore its specifications and features to see if it's the right choice for your water treatment needs.
Key features
Advantages:
Deep bed filtration for superior water quality and reduced load on downstream equipment
High sediment removal capacity for longer filter runs, saving backwash water and downtime
High service flow rates allow for lower equipment costs and smaller footprints
Lightweight – reduces shipping costs
Can potentially increase filter capacity in existing installations
All-natural and environmentally safe
Benefits:
Superior suspended solids reduction down to 5 microns
Lower pressure drop compared to sand filters
Deeper sediment penetration for higher loading and longer runs
Reduced backwash frequency conserves water
Ideal for systems where water quality and conservation are important
Cost savings through reduced equipment size, pumping needs, and handling expenses
Applicable to pressure or gravity flow systems
Can replace multimedia filters
