Choosing Support Media

The right support layer depends on the filter bed design and media profile.

Support media selection should consider particle size, layer sequence, bed depth, underdrain or nozzle design, hydraulic loading, backwash conditions and the media above it.

Where suitable, Absorb typically supports the use of NZ pea metal. Garnet remains available as an imported option for specifications or filter designs where a heavier support media is required.
