Micro Z™ ( Zeolite ) Filter Media - 1 cuft - A7200

Micro Z™ ( Zeolite ) Media Micro-Z is a high quality, granular, zeolite filter media that replaces conventional multimedia. It is produced from a unique mineral deposit having high surface area and porosity. The surface structure of Micro-Z features microscopic mineral projections that allow particulate matter to penetrate deeply into the bed. These properties make Micro Z an ideal filtration media. Micro Z™ Media Features Benefits • Higher Solids Loading Capabilities = Reduces back washing frequency and saves water • Enhanced Filtration Performance = Finer filtration provides higher quality of water and reduces the load on downstream equipment • High Service Flow Rate = Reduces new equipment costs and provides expansion opportunities for existing equipment • Light Weight = Reduces shipping cost and easier to handle • Lower Pressure Loss = Allows for higher flow rates Physical Properties of Micro Z • Color: Light Green • Bulk Density: 55 lb/CuFt • Specific Gravity: 2.2 gm/c • Mesh Size: 14 x 40 • Uniform Coefficient: 1.9 • Harness: 4 (Mohs Scale) Conditions for Operation of Micro Z • Bed Depth: 36-48 Inches • Freeboard: 50% of bed depth • Service Flow Rate: 12 to 20 gpm • Backwash Bed Expansion: 30% to 40% NOTE: Allow Bed to Soak Overnight Before First Backwash Why Use Micro Z vs Conventional Media?
