100% Natural FilterClay

FilterClay is a pure organic clay, finely ground into specific sized pellets (4-8mm) and baked at a temperature of 1200° C inside a rotary kiln. It does not contain artificial additives, pesticides or dyes.

FilterClay is a "fixed-bed" filter media, which means that the media bed is stationary during filtering. FilterClay's shape and varied sized 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.

FilterClay
Basic Properties

• Optimal Surface Colonized
  due to porosity level:
  Surface Area- 232 ft²/US gal.
• FC-1: 1.7 cubic ft/65-75 pound bag.

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 colonies of nitrifying (beneficial) bacteria, and in turn, optimal bio-filtration. These physical characteristics allow for quick nitrifying bacteria regeneration
after cleaning.

FilterClay's high mechanical strength allows it to be removed from the filter, easily cleaned and stored for re-use.

Consider FilterClay Media as an alternative media for fine sand in sand filters. FilterClay's size, shape and weight are better suited for a heavy solid waste application than fine sand.

BioCELL biological filter media is made of neutrally buoyant, "high impact" polystyrene that provides a surface area of 198 ft²/ft³ for nitrifying bacteria. BioCELL media's size and surface configuration provides highly protected surface-areas (protecting colonies of nitrifying bacteria) while offering the added benefit of self-cleaning. BioCELL's neutral buoyancy combined with routine backwashing prevents clogging, while maintaining an excellent environment for aerobic nitrifying bacteria.
