Aquacheme is a leading stocking distributor of water filter media for industrial and commercial water filtration systems, including water filtration media such as filter sand and gravel, anthracite filter media, manganese sand, greensand water filter media, activated carbon filter media, and ion exchange resin filter media.
These are the various types of water filtration media stocked by Aquacheme:
Sand and Gravel may also be called Torpedo Sand – Coarse Sand – Support Gravel – Filter Gravel – Pea Gravel – The filter sand and gravel we stock and distribute is 99% silica. The sub-angular shape of silica sand enhances the mechanical filtration properties of multi-media filters. It acts as perfect sub-fill for non-silica sensitive applications such as water softeners and dealkalizers.
Sand and Gravel water filter sand is composed of sub-angular, hard, durable, and dense grains of predominately siliceous material. Extracted from a clean glacial sand deposit, our Sand and Gravel’s physical properties make it among the finest available in the world for filtration applications. Aquacheme water filter sand is washed, kiln dried, and screened to meet exacting specifications with strict adherence to quality control.

Anthracite commonly used as sub-fill and as a component of multi-media filters, anthracite is a durable media with long life and a wide temperature range. It contains no silica to interfere in the production of ultra pure water.
Manganese Sand can remove soluble iron, manganese and hydrogen sulfide from well water supplies.
Ion Exchange Resins are widely used in different separation, purification, and decontamination processes. The most common examples are water softening and water purification. In many cases ion-exchange resins were introduced in such processes as a more flexible alternative to the use of natural or artificial zeolites. Also, ion exchange resins are highly effective in the biodiesel filtration process.
Activated Carbon Whether it is for taste and odor applications or chlorine removal, Carbons are the ideal choice. Aquacheme Co., Ltd. is a leading master distributor of activated carbon, granular activated carbon, and liquid phase activated carbon.
