Filtration Media Replacement

AMI carries a large range of filtration media and support media to be used in most types of media filtration systems.

Media filtration is a proven technology for many applications and purposes including but not limited to removal of chlorine, sediment, iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide, as well as acid neutralization. Media filtration can be combined and used as pretreatment or post treatment to additional water treatment systems, or can be used as a stand-alone water treatment solution.

Benefits of Media Filtration Water Treatment

  • Long useful life for lower maintenance and labor costs.
  • Most media types require only periodic backwashing, resulting in low operating costs.
  • Durable material and wide temperature range.
  • Most media types are naturally occurring, inexpensive materials.
