GARNET

Garnet is a chemically inert non-metallic mineral that is quite common in the natural environment. Garnet is well known for its hardness and durability. It has a high specific gravity as well as its chemical and abrasive resistance makes garnet an ideal filter media. Applications range from small, single-media filters to technically advanced multimedia commercial and industrial systems.

Our garnet meets AWWA B100 and NSF Standards.

ADVANTAGES

• High specific gravity allows unique filter design
• In combination with other filter medias, higher flow rates, higher loading and better filtration can be achieved
• High hardness reduces attrition and provides for years of reliable service
• An excellent support bed for other high density medias
