Mechanical Filtration
FilterCLAY is a "fixed bed" filter media, which means that the media bed is stationary during filtering. FilterCLAY's shape and varied size provides efficient
solid waste capture and water polishing. Additionally, FilterCLAY's weight/density initiates a more effective backwash by allowing the bed to expand, yet stay
within the filter vessel as the waste is flushed out of the filter.
Biological Filtration
FilterCLAY's innovative production process results in a significant amount of surface area from the porous skin and core within each pellet. This surface
area is far greater than any other filter media on the market today. FilterCLAY's porosity also offers a protective environment for nitrifying colonies of
beneficial bacteria, and in turn, optimal bio-filtration. These physical characteristics allow for quick nitrifying bacteria regeneration after cleaning.
