When water then flows down through the bed, those fine grains at the surface do most of the straining, quickly forming a cake that clogs and drives head loss up exponentially over time, with filtration confined to just the top few inches. The ideal arrangement is the opposite: large grains on top to capture large solids, with progressively finer grains below, ending with the smallest grains at the bottom for final polishing. Garnet makes this possible. With its high specific gravity of 4.0, it stays as the lower fine-grain layer even after repeated backwashing, and its 0.3 mm effective size can filter down into the 10 to 20 micron range. This inverse void gradation allows solids to penetrate deeper into the bed, providing increased solids storage, longer filter runs, and higher filtration rates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-hardness, high-density granular filter media\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e#8 grade at roughly 150 lb per cubic foot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal fine bottom layer for multi-media filters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecific gravity of 4.0; filters into the 10 to 20 micron range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent support bed for sand, anthracite, Corosex, Pyrolox, and similar media\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh hardness resists attrition for years of reliable service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eA properly designed multi-media bed maintains its inverse gradation and keeps performing well even after long periods of backwashing, because it combines materials of different sizes and specific gravities.

The #8 grade also makes an excellent support bed beneath high-density oxidation media such as high-purity Corosex II or manganese dioxide media like Pyrolox.
