Filter AG Plus, 1 CF Bag

Filter-Ag Plus is a lightweight granular filtration media supplied in a 1 cubic-foot bag. This media reduces suspended solids, silt, and turbidity from water, trapping fine particles that cloud supply and foul downstream equipment. Its low density means it backwashes at modest flow rates, an advantage for wells and homes with limited backwash capacity.

• Quantity: 1 cubic foot per bag
• Granular sediment and turbidity reduction media
• Low bulk density allows backwashing at lower flow rates
• Irregular grain shape provides depth filtration of fine particles
• Loads into standard backwashing filter tanks
• Shipping weight roughly 50 lb per bag

Use Filter-Ag Plus in a backwashing filter tank to polish out sediment and cloudiness ahead of softeners, RO units, or point-of-use filters. Size the media volume to your tank diameter and confirm your control valve can deliver the backwash flow the bed needs. Add gravel underbedding where the tank design calls for it.

A Versatile Filtration Media

Filter AG Plus is a lightweight granular filtration media used in backwashing filter tanks to reduce suspended solids and turbidity from household water. As water passes down through the bed, the media traps sediment and cloudiness in its structure; a periodic backwash then lifts and rinses the bed clean so it is ready to filter again. Because it is lighter than many traditional filter sands, it tends to backwash efficiently, which is a real advantage for homes and wells where you want thorough cleaning without an enormous flow of water to do it.

When It Solves a Problem

If your water arrives cloudy, leaves a fine grit in the bottom of glasses, or carries visible particles that clog aerators and appliance screens, a sediment filter charged with this media is a common fix. It is a frequent choice on well systems and on any supply where fine suspended matter is the main complaint. Recharging an existing filter tank with fresh media also restores performance to a bed that has aged, compacted, or lost effectiveness over years of service.

Building or Recharging Your Filter

This media works in a standard filter tank paired with a control valve, riser tube, distributor, and usually a gravel underbed. The right volume depends on your tank size, so let us help you confirm how many bags your build calls for. We provide the documentation we have on file, and the Water Softener Plus team is glad to walk you through loading, backwash settings, and startup so your filter performs the way it should.
