Build Green With Recycled Glass


















Water Filtration Media

Finely crushed recycled glass for pool, industrial, and environmental filtration that provides outstanding water clarity and quality - a direct replacement for silica sand

Superior Cleaning
  • Cleaner, lighter weight, and highly angular crushed recycled glass provides an amazing 25% improvement in turbidity removal over silica sand
  • Crushed glass filtration media generally removes finer particles from water than silica sand of an equivalent grade
  • VitroClean's® weak negative surface charge holds fine particles and positively charged iron and manganese ions that are easily released upon back washing
  • Crushed glass filtration media is less likely to block or channel than silica sand
Safer to Use
  • VitroClean® contains no crystalline silica–resulting in better lung protection for employees and a far healthier environment
  • VitroClean® grains are amorphous, smooth particles that have a higher attrition strength and do not permanently trap bacteria in cracks
  • Use of VitroClean® crushed glass filter media will lower your consumption of chlorine and coagulants
  • Manufactured from 100% recycled glass
Lower Operating Costs
  • Improved performance for pressure or gravity-flow filters
  • Weighing 20% less than sand, VitroClean® crushed glass filtration media provides more filter volume per pound
  • VitroClean's® lower density requires up to 20% less media to fill your filter vessel
  • Better permeability–back washes with up to 25% less water, saving down-time and water/sewer charges
  • Because VitroClean® cleans better, you save energy, operating costs, and extend the life of your filter


VitroClean water filtration media can be used for:
  • Swimming pools & spas

  • Water theme parks

  • Storm water runoff

  • Industrial wastewater effluent

  • Gray water recirculation systems

  • Tertiary treatment of sewerage

  • Ponds, aquariums and aquatic animal habitats

  • Aquaculture

  • Potable water treatment systems

  • Boiler feed and cooling tower systems
