What is Filter Sand?

Filter sand serves as a key medium in water purification, known for physically capturing suspended particles in rapid filtration and enabling biological treatment in slow filtration.

Filter sand as single-media filtration is a conventional filtration method. While as treated water standards grow stricter and source water quality declines (due to algae and Cryptosporidium), optimizing filtration—a key purification step—has become increasingly important.

Actual filtration processes often utilize anthracite as a filtering material, which has a lighter density and coarser particles compared to sand. Following backwashing, it is placed as an upper layer over the filter sand. The Dual-media filtration by using Filter Sand and Anthracite Filter Media is commonly adopted.
