Filtration Media
swtwater.com Garnet
SWT Garnet is a high-density water filtration media used to remove fine particulate and keeps the silica gravel bed static during rigorous backwash. In a multi-media filter, garnet sand is the finest layer and is located below the filter sand layer. Due to its high specific gravity, the garnet remains in its position in the filter - even after backwashing. Coarse garnet sizes are available for support layers. Meets or exceeds all ASI, AWWA, or ASME standards and protocols. UL Certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 61.
