Treated Sand 8–16 Mesh is a premium-grade filtration media manufactured from carefully selected silica sand that undergoes washing, grading, and treatment to ensure consistent particle size, high cleanliness, and reliable filtration performance. It is widely used as the primary filtration media in pressure sand filters for removing suspended solids, turbidity, silt, and other particulate matter from water.

The 8–16 mesh size offers an excellent balance between filtration efficiency and hydraulic performance, making it suitable for municipal, commercial, and industrial water treatment applications. Its high mechanical strength and chemical stability ensure long service life with minimal degradation, making it a dependable choice for both new installations and media replacement.

🔧 Installation & Operating Guidelines

Wash the filter media thoroughly before initial installation to remove fine particles.
Install over a properly graded support gravel bed.
Maintain the recommended bed depth according to the filter design.
Operate within the recommended filtration velocity for optimum performance.
Perform periodic backwashing to remove accumulated suspended solids and restore filtration efficiency.
Avoid excessive flow rates that may disturb the media bed.
Inspect the media periodically and replace when excessive wear or reduced filtration performance is observed.

⚙️ How It Works

Treated Sand functions through depth filtration. As untreated water flows through the filter bed, suspended solids, dirt, rust particles, silt, and other insoluble impurities become trapped within the spaces between the sand particles. The clean water continues through the media while the contaminants remain within the bed.

Over time, these trapped particles increase pressure loss across the filter. A periodic water backwash expands the media bed and flushes out the accumulated contaminants, restoring the filter to its original operating condition and extending the service life of the media.

🥽 Safety & Handling

Store in a clean and dry location.
Keep bags sealed until installation to prevent contamination.
Handle carefully to minimize dust generation.
Wear gloves, safety glasses, and a dust mask during handling.
Wash the media thoroughly before placing the filter into service.
Dispose of exhausted media in accordance with local environmental regulations.

⚠️ Limitations and Precautions

Treated sand removes suspended solids but does not remove dissolved salts, hardness, iron, manganese, or microorganisms.
High levels of oil, grease, or organic contaminants may reduce filtration efficiency.
Regular backwashing is essential to prevent clogging and pressure build-up.
Proper support gravel and underdrain systems should be used for optimum filter performance.
Excessively high filtration rates may reduce removal efficiency and cause media disturbance.
Media replacement should be carried out when excessive wear or channeling is observed.
Water quality and operating conditions influence media service life.
