The Ultimate Media for Sand Filters Just Got Better!
Zeobrite Xtreme is made from a unique micro-porous mineral rock called Zeolite that has a negative surface charge. Zeolite is known as an ion-exchange mineral for its ability to attract and bond certain positive charged ions. Zeotech Corporation has developed a patent-pending process to alter the Zeobrite surface charge from negative to positive. This process maintains the internal negative charge of the Zeolite crystals, allowing the Zeolite particles to become a “Dual Charged” media. This “Dual Charge” process allows Zeobrite Xtreme to attract and remove both negative and positive charged particles that are suspended in pool water. These suspended particles, both charged and non-charged, result in “Turbidity” that make the water appear cloudy.
Third Party independent testing shows that Zeobrite Xtreme can remove over 90% of suspended particles (Turbidity) on the first water volume turn-over. Initial back-washing results show reduced backwash time, saving water consumption. Cleanability Testing resulted in thorough cleaning of the media bed. Additional testing showed Zeobrite Xtremeto be very stable when subjected to high concentrations of pool chemicals such as chlorine, clarifiers and algaecides.
Maintaining the internal negative charge also allows Zeobrite Xtremeto aid in removing excess ammonia and chloramines from pool water. This feature is especially attractive for use in commercial in-door swimming pools.
Zeobrite Xtreme should be cleaned with a filter cleaner at least once per year in residential pools and every six months in heavy user commercial pools. For new in-ground gunite/plaster pools, the media should be cleaned 30-45 days after pool start-up.
Installing Zeobrite Filtration on New and Existing Pools is the Smart Thing to Do!
Zeobrite Xtreme helps make swimming and other pool activities far more enjoyable. Zeobrite Xtremeis used for filtration in private and public swimming pools, water parks, aquariums, hotel pools and much more. It can also be used to help purify municipal water supplies and waste water. A honeycomb-crystal structure and remarkably high surface area make Zeobrite Xtremea far better filtration medium than sand.
