3. What is Zeosorb ? Zeosorb is micro porous crystalline solid with well-defined structure. Zeosorb occur as natural mineral. Others are synthetic Zeosorb is used in a variety of applications with a global market of several million tones per annum

4. Alternative to sand Most sand particles have relatively smooth surfaces and no porosity. They trap particles by straining and bridging them. As the dirt layer increases, sand will typically remove particles down to approximately 30- to 40 microns. Zeosorb, by comparison, has large, rough, angular surfaces with chambers and cavities running throughout each particle. This structure allows it to remove suspended particles by straining and bridging between the granules, but aim to capture particles on the rough surface and in the internal pore spaces. This gives Zeosorb the ability to remove particles as small as 3- to 5 microns, according to measurements taken with a scanning electron microscope. With its increased surface area, Zeosorb's dirt-loading capacity is significantly greater than silica sand.

5. Ion Exchange Zeosorb * Ion Exchange Zeosorb - Certain natural materials have the property of exchanging one ion in their structure for another ion in the solution. Typical example is Zeosorbs which are complex sodium aluminum-silicates and green sands. Higher exchange rate is possible with synthetic ion exchange materials. * The most common use of ion exchange is for water softening and demineralization of feed water for high pressure boilers which require high purity water. Ion exchange can also be used as an alternative method for treatment of industrial wastewaters such as metal-finishing effluents, by precipitation methods. * When used for water softening, sodium ions in the natural Zeosorb are exchanged for calcium and magnesium ions in the water. Thus complete removal of hardness occurs.

6. Changing over to ZeoSorb In most cases, filters installed with Zeosorb will have run cycles that are four to six times longer than sand before backwashing is required. Because of its ability to filter smaller particles, one would think more backwashing would be necessary. But Zeosorb has the capacity to load more particulate than sand before the filter pressure rises. Because Zeosorb has a weight density of approximately 25kg per cubic foot vs. approximately 100 pounds per cubic foot for sand, it is easy to calculate the amount needed in any filter. Simply determine the number of pounds of sand required. The amount of Zeosorb required to replace the sand is approximately one-half of that weight. In some cases, due to the filter design, it is recommended that pea gravel be placed in the bottom portion of the filter prior to installing the Zeosorb.

7. Advantages * Filters turbidity down to 3-5 microns for significant water clarity. * Higher surface area allows for longer filter runs between backwashes. * Cat ion exchange capacity adsorbs ammonia to reduce chloramines. * Longer filter runs results in savings in backwash water and time out of service. * Naturally occurring material. * Half the weight of sand 25kg Zeosorb compares to 50 kg of sand.
