LiquaGen Clinoptilolite Filtration Media – Compatible with Filter-Ag Plus

LiquaGen Clinoptilolite Media is a premium natural ore engineered to outperform traditional filter sand and multimedia filtration. Fully compatible with Filter-Ag Plus, it offers exceptional suspended solids reduction and advanced contaminant removal, making it an ideal choice for residential, commercial, and industrial water treatment systems.

Superior Filtration Technology

Under an electron scanning microscope, LiquaGen media reveals its unique angular granules with rough surfaces and microporous voids as small as 3 microns. This advanced structure provides over 100x more surface area than silica sand or standard multimedia filters. The result is highly efficient filtration that traps suspended solids while also reducing colloidal and soluble inorganic contaminants through:

• Surface sorption

• Chemical binding

• Charge neutralization

• Coagulation and ionic exchange

Performance Benefits

• Reduces suspended solids down to 3–5 microns or finer

• High sediment loading capacity for extended filter runs

• Lower pressure drop compared to sand filters

• Reduces backwash frequency, conserving water

• Provides higher flow rates and consistent filtration performance

Thanks to its deep bed filtration capability, LiquaGen media minimizes head loss, prevents premature clogging, and extends filter life. Longer filter cycles also mean significant water and energy savings. Its lower bulk density further reduces handling costs and shipping expenses, making it both effective and economical.
