Service Flows
Service flow rate is the manufacturers recommendation for maximum contaminate removal at a constant flow for media alone. Intermittent flow rate and/or lower contaminate levels MAY allow higher treatment flow rates.

Backwash Flow Rates
The backwash flow rate is the minimum rate that MUST be available to ensure proper backwashing and adequate media life. While lower flows can be used and MAY provide adequate results, media life may be significantly reduced.

    Greensand shipping

    Posted by Don Watts on Jan 30 2024

    Received media and filter garnet. One bag of Greensand was slightly open in the box and leaked out of the box. (Had a slight trail of media from the delivery truck to my door steps.) When the media was installed in the filter, it was about one inch lower than the previous media level. Oh well. AFW- we apologize for the experience, usually they arrive ok, but due to the weight of the box, they can get roughed up in transit. However, these do ship insured, you can always contact us with pictures so we can file a shipping claim and get some replacement out for you.

    Green sand works really on taking out the iron in well water.
