Replacement Filtration Media

What Is Filtration Media?

Filtration media refers to the various materials used in water filtration systems to remove impurities from water. Each media type serves a specific function, such as removing suspended solids, absorbing chemicals and contaminants, or neutralising acidity.

What Is the Best Filtration Media for Water?

The choice of filtration media depends on your water treatment needs. Understand the specific impurities in your water, such as heavy metals, sediments, and microbes, to choose the most suitable media for effective removal. Different filters target specific contaminants. Common types include reverse osmosis filters, activated carbon filters, UV filters, and sediment filters. Understanding their strengths and weaknesses will guide you in selecting the most appropriate replacement filter media for your water treatment needs. For example, brine salt is a highly concentrated salt solution media that removes impurities from brine waste streams, particularly in conjunction with reverse osmosis or specific saltwater filtration systems. Another example is activated carbon, commonly used in point-of-use and under-sink filters due to its high surface area and porosity, making it excellent for absorbing and retaining various impurities.

When Should I Change My Filtration Media?

We recommend monitoring the efficiency of your filtration system regularly. Signs that may indicate the need for a change include a decrease in water flow, reduced water quality, or if the system fails to meet the desired water treatment standards. Regular maintenance checks and following the manufacturer's guidelines can help determine the appropriate intervals for changing the filtration media, ensuring your water treatment system operates at its best.
