Leopold® Engineered Filter Media® Products Brochure

All anthracite filter media is not the same.
Leopold engineered anthracite filter media is better!

More saleable water produced at a lower cost
You know that the more uniform the size of your filter media, the more efficient your filter runs. The lower the uniformity coefficient (UC), the longer the filter run. The better the effluent quality. And the lower the backwash rate.

This means more saleable water produced at a lower cost of operation.

Leopold, with its state-of-the-art anthracite filter media processing facility, can deliver the lowest UC anthracite filter media available on the market today. This means you can operate your water plant longer before backwashing. And when you backwash, you’ll use less filtered water.

This reduction in backwash frequency has the added advantage of reducing media attrition over time.

Moreover, low-UC anthracite filter media extends the life of your filter before the media must be changed out. Low-UC anthracite typically produces consistent improvements in turbidity removal, due, in part, to more efficient solids loading. Plus, low-UC media produces smaller changes in effluent turbidity during periods of peak influent turbidity.
