How Quartz Sand 40 kg Works

n

The Quartz Sand 40 kg media filters water through physical and mechanical trapping. Water passes through the bed of sand, and suspended solids, debris, and fine particles are captured between the grains. Its chemically inert nature ensures that it does not alter the water chemistry, making it safe for potable water, pools, or industrial systems. The media also withstands repeated backwashing without significant breakdown.
