Premium Filter Media Gravel for Enhanced Water Softener Efficiency and Longevity

When it comes to maintaining optimal water treatment performance, the quality of your filter media matters. Our GRAVEL14-20-BOX, a carefully sized 1/4"x1/8" gravel filter media, offers a reliable solution to prevent sediment buildup and improve water flow within your water softener system. Designed to work seamlessly with various resin and chemical components, this 20 lb. box ensures your filtration setup operates efficiently and consistently.

Key Benefits

• Protects your water softener resin bed by preventing clogging from fine particles.
• Enhances water flow and backwash efficiency for consistent treatment performance.
• Durable gravel media that withstands repeated use without breaking down.
• Optimizes filter media layering to reduce channeling and maximize filtration.
• Easy to handle 20 lb. box packaging designed for safe UPS delivery and storage.

How It Works

This gravel media acts as a supportive base layer within your water softener tank, placed beneath the resin bed. Its uniform 1/4"x1/8" size creates a stable foundation that prevents finer resin beads from escaping into the drainage system while allowing water to flow smoothly through the media layers.

During the softening cycle and backwash process, the gravel ensures even distribution of water and prevents sediment from settling, which helps maintain the efficiency and lifespan of your water softener’s resin and other filter media components.

What to Expect

Immediately after installation, you’ll notice improved water flow rates and reduced sediment accumulation within your system’s resin bed. Over the first few weeks, the gravel will settle into place, providing stable support that enhances the backwash process and minimizes channeling.

Long-term, this gravel media contributes to consistent water softening performance, reducing the frequency of maintenance and resin replacement. Its durability means it will remain effective for multiple treatment cycles without degradation.

What’s Inside

• 1/4"x1/8" Filter Gravel: Precisely sized to optimize water flow and support resin media layers.
• 20 lb. Box Packaging: Convenient weight and packaging for easy handling and UPS shipping safety.
• Natural Mineral Composition: Ensures chemical compatibility with common water softener resins and filter chemicals.

How to Use

1. Drain and depressurize your water softener tank before opening.
