Eco Glass Filter Media (EGFM)

Eco Glass Filter Media (EGFM) is the new environmentally friendly and cost effective filter media that provides a viable alternative to sand. Made from glass recycled in the UK, it doesn't involve intrusive mining and the use of scarce resources.

Benefits of EGFM over Sand

• EGFM is more efficient
  It removes 30% more material and pollutants than sand, so saving on backwashing and the resultant water, energy and chemical treatment costs
• EGFM keeps cleaner
  It's less susceptible to bio-fouling, as the product is heat treated surfaces are smooth, so requiring less remedial action and again less chemical treatment to kill pollutants
• EGFM requires less material
  It's less dense than sand, requiring 15% less media to fill the equivalent filter (see table below)
