Zeoclere - Premium Grade FILTER MEDIA
Zeoclere 30 is a granular filter media most commonly used for the reduction of ammonia from water supplies. The grade described on this sheet is Zeoclere 30, which is available in >1-2mm, 0.5-1mm grain size and 0.8-1.24mm.
Zeoclere is a selected high-grade zeolitic mineral from the family of 40 different types? The Zeoclere range is specifically for use in swimming pool pressure or gravity filters. It has a purity of between 80-85% and is constant between these percentages. The material has been shown to operate well in both small and large pressure vessels. In tests carried out using a 1 metre column with the flow in a constant backwash mode for 180 days (24 hours), showed a material loss of 23mm due to attrition. Its clear up rate in new installations has been shown to be faster than that of silica sand and with a improved turbidity of 60% over that of accepted sand.
The average ammonia collection for this grade is 2.88g/lt. This can vary dependent on flow rate. Other advantages of Zeoclere are wide temperature performance along with high removal efficiency including iron/zinc/lead/ copper & silver removal. Because of the high reduction of ammonia removal, the use of chlorine is similarly reduced and on average is quoted that up to 40% savings have been achieved. Zeoclere has a far greater (400%) surface area than silica sand or glass media.
Therefore, backwashing (where appropriate) can be dramatically reduced, saving many thousands of gallons of water, chemicals and heated water to waste.

Advantages
Under correct conditions chemical reduction will be achieved along with water saving, power cost and less maintenance.
- High ammonia removal (average 2.8gm/lt.)
Dependent on flow rate. - Ion removal efficiency is high. Far greater surface area than sand.
- Removes odour. Longevity 5 - 7 years.
- Turbidity shown to be up to 60% better than accepted silica sand standard and glass media
- Reduced backwashing by up to 70% over that of sand - saving water and energy.
- No health hazard.
- Zeoclere has a far greater (400%) surface area than silica sand or glass. Therefore, backwashing - where appropriate - can be dramatically reduced.
Notes
Because of the high reduction of ammonia removal, the use of chlorine is similarly reduced and on average is quoted that up to 40% savings have been achieved.
