SS1
NZ Made
NZ-made medium sponge media and a practical alternative to anthracite for selected water treatment, filtration and refurbishment applications.
SS2
NZ Made
NZ-made fine sponge media for applications where a finer media profile is required and sponge is suitable for the treatment objective.
ANT
Imported
Imported anthracite filter media for projects where anthracite is specified or where the filter design requires it.
Sponge media and anthracite can both support filtration performance, but the right option depends on the media profile, particle size, density, bed depth, hydraulic loading, backwash conditions and treatment objective.
Where suitable, Absorb typically supports the use of NZ-made sponge media. Anthracite remains available as an imported product for specifications or systems where it is required.
