Zeotech filtration media receives NSF certification

21 July 2010

The Zeobrite Xtreme filtration media is designed for use in sand filters in swimming pools, other recreational water facilities and municipal drinking water treatment.

Zeotech is the only company to have zeolite filtration media certified by NSF International for use in both drinking water and recreational water applications. Zeolite filtration media combines the physical entrapment of fine particles with filtering of contaminants to improve water clarity. To meet the NSF requirements, Zeolite media must perform as well as or better than sand when used in an NSF/ANSI Standard 50 certified sand filter.
 

Dave Purkiss, general manager for NSF’s Water Treatment and Distribution Products programme said: “The certification of Zeobrite and Zeobrite Xtreme helps assure operators at drinking water treatment plants and recreational water facilities that the media are free from unwanted contaminants and filter as well as or better than sand.”
