The main advantage of zeolite over sand is that it produces a cleaner, safer, higher quality water. It will, unlike sand, additionally bind and remove nutrients such as ammonia and (N), and when finished the zeolite in most cases can be applied as a "slow release" fertilizer for gardens, agriculture and horticultural use. The removal of nutrients will also be beneficial as they are a common cause of bad taste in water.
Castle Mountain Zeolite will also control malodourous volatiles (odours) and metal ions including, but not limited to heavy metals (cadmium, mercury and lead). Further, the removal of metal ions improve the softness of the water and gets rid of stains from iron and manganese that are a problem.
Castle Mountain Zeolite is lighter than sand making it easier to backwash, plus the physical structure of the processed zeolite granules is much blockier and angular shaped, making it pack better in the filter bed and allowing increased rates of filtration.
