GRAVEL20, Gravel, 1/8” x 12, 50 Lb. Bag, AB17050-151

Premium 1/8” Gravel Filter Media for Enhanced Water Filtration and System Efficiency

When it comes to maintaining an efficient water treatment system, the quality of your filter media matters. Our GRAVEL20 Gravel, sized at 1/8” x 12 and packaged in a 50 lb. bag, provides a reliable and consistent filtration base that prevents sediment buildup and supports optimal water flow. Designed specifically for use in water softeners and filtration setups, this gravel improves system longevity and performance by offering superior support to resins and other filter components.

Key Benefits

• Enhances filtration by providing a stable bed for resin and other media
• Prevents clogging and sediment accumulation, reducing system downtime
• Supports consistent water flow for improved treatment efficiency
• Durable and long-lasting material ensures minimal replacement frequency
• Easy to handle and install thanks to its uniform 1/8” size
• Optimizes overall system performance by maintaining media separation

How It Works

The GRAVEL20 Gravel acts as a foundational layer in your water filtration or softening system. By providing a uniform and stable base, it supports the resin or filter media above, preventing displacement during backwash cycles. This gravel ensures that water flows evenly throughout the filter bed, which maximizes contact with the treatment media and enhances contaminant removal.

Its specific 1/8” size is ideal for maintaining proper media separation, which avoids mixing layers and potential channeling that can reduce filtration effectiveness. This stability helps maintain the system’s efficiency and extends the lifespan of other filter components.

What to Expect

Upon installation, you will notice improved water clarity as sediment is better managed and filtered through the system. In the first few days to weeks, the gravel bed will settle into place, creating an optimal environment for the resins or filter media to function effectively. This leads to smoother water flow and reduced pressure drops.

Over time, the gravel's durability minimizes the need for frequent replacement, allowing for consistent performance with routine system maintenance. Proper use of this gravel will help prevent common issues like clogging or uneven media distribution, ensuring your filtration system operates reliably long-term.
