Overview
Filter-Ag Plus is a high-performance granular filtration media designed for the physical removal of iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide from residential, commercial, and industrial water supplies. Its lightweight ceramic composition provides efficient filtration performance while supporting high service flow rates and reduced backwash water requirements.
The media features a rough, irregular surface that helps capture and retain contaminants within the filter bed. Routine backwashing removes trapped particles and helps maintain filtration efficiency.
