Benefits of Volcanic Rock
Volcanic Rock for water treatment involves using natural volcanic glass ground into granules. These granules have a highly porous structure that makes them excellent for trapping contaminants and sediment in water filtration. Volcanic Rock for water filtration is characterized by a high surface area and abrasive properties that enhance its effectiveness as a filtration medium.
Volcanic Rock as a filtration media is deployed to treat municipal and industrial effluents and sand-filter-type tank systems, such as drip irrigation systems, which filter emitter-clogging tur-bidity out of the water. Volcanic Rock's low specific gravity make it ideal for filtration applications and treatment processes.
The Various Uses of Volcanic Rock In Water Filtration
Volcanic is a versatile filtration media and is widely used for the following applications.
Municipal Water Treatment: High-quality Volcanic Rock filters out impurities, pathogens,and particulate matter from municipal water supplies to ensure safe and clean drinking water.
Industrial Water Treatment: In industries, Volcanic Rock purifies waste before it is released into the environment. It helps remove heavy metals, oils, and other harmful contaminants.
Aquaculture: In aquaculture systems, Volcanic Rock purifies water, maintaining the healthof aquatic life. It effectively filters biological waste and feed residue.
Hot Tubs & Swimming Pools: Volcanic Rock filters are used in swimming pools to achieve crystal-clear water and reduce the use of chemicals.
The Top 7 Advantages of Volcanic Rock Filtration Media
Volcanic Rock's deep filtration avoids particle build-up and does not quickly clog like traditional paper filters used in Spas and Hot Tubs.
Volcanic Rock's lightweight nature means lower backwash rates are needed to fully expand the filter bed. As a result, the filtration cost is lower as compared to the ongoing frequent replacement as required by traditional paper filters.
In areas within the Unites States with high levels of calcium and magnesium levels in the water, the
use oif Volcanic Rock as a filter media means a lower overall cost.
The Bottom Line
Volcanic Rock for water filtration supplied by The Spa Rocks Company is approved and certified for Spa and Hot Tub water applications. It complies with all necessary standards. Rest assured, all our Volcanic Rock filtration media meets all the chemical and physical testing requirements.
