Whole House Filter-Ag Plus Sediment Water Filter System with 12" x 52" Tank | Backwash Valve

Filter-Ag Plus is a unique natural ore, specifically a form of clinoptilolite, used as filter media for water filtration. It offers several advantages over traditional sand filters and multimedia, including superior filtration efficiency, extended filter runs, and high flow rates.

ADVANTAGES

Deep bed filtration results in superior water quality and reduces the load on downstream equipment.

High sediment removal capacity results in longer filter runs, with a substantial savings in backwash water and time out of service.

High service flow rates result in lower equipment costs and a savings in space.

Reduced shipping cost due to lighter weight/cu.ft.

Replacement of multimedia with Filter-Ag Plus in existing installations may increase filter capacity.

Filter-Ag Plus is an all-natural, environmentally safe product.
