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.
