MetalEase Lite™ - A Better Value
in Oxidation Media!

MetalEase-Lite™ is an American-made equivalent to GreensandPlus (GS+). Like GS+, MetalEase-Lite™ is an engineered filtration media featuring a high-purity manganese dioxide coating bonded to a durable, lightweight silica substrate.
With 12.5% manganese dioxide content, MetalEase-Lite™ offers more than twice the active ingredient content of GS+. Its lighter weight can help make backwashing easier, while its economical pricing makes it a practical choice for reducing iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide through oxidation and filtration.

Made in the USA.
