Agricultural Water Filtration

Expertly sized active container glass sand for various filters that provides outstanding water clarity and quality – a direct and better replacement for silica sand in farming filtration tanks.

Sand filters provide a low maintenance option for farmers and are easily backwashed. Ideal for filtering water from sources such as dams, rivers, ponds and ditches.

CS Active glass sand is the perfect filter media.

  • LASTS LONGER
  • BETTER TURBIDITY

CS Active glass sand ensures better water treatment. Features such as wide grade size, sub angular particle shaping, negatively charged surface areas to attract iron and magnesium particles mean improved performance. Less backwashing required. Better capture of contaminants. Less operating power to run the system.

Designed to remove organic debris and particles from water, sand filtration extends the life of irrigation systems and prevent drippers and microjets from blocking.

Sand filters offer a natural form of filtration which eliminates the need  for internal moving parts and the associated maintenance. 

Sand filters offer a natural form of filtration which eliminates the need for internal moving parts and the associated maintenance. CS Active is offered in a range of sizes depending on the application. The granules are heat sterilized an pose no danger to health or safety. CS Active is an environmentally friendly alternative to silica sand. Just better, really.

Independent Research In a field study performed by the Clean Washington Center, USA, researchers replaced 900kg of silica sand from three high-rate filters with recycled glass and analyzed the results for approximately nine months. This is what they found: Less water: The average duration of backwashing (in minutes) was 2:34 compared to 3:21 for sand. That’s equates to a 23-percent reduction in water. The lighter glass material floats more easily, the study noted, allowing it to fluidize quicker, reducing backwash runtimes Clearer water: The study showed a 25-percent reduction in National Turbidity Unit Readings.  Energy savings: Porosity was better and recirculation systems could be operated fewer hours. Product volume savings: Approximately 20% less glass sand (by weight) is required for filtration.
