- Triple washed
- Filter media
- Toxin-free
- Sold per m³
Quick answer
Bio Media Sand is a filter media blended from graded pure sands and triple washed to remove contaminants. It catches pollutants and silt in surface runoff, supports micro-biotic oxidation of contaminants, and filters and cleans groundwater and wastewater. Because it breaks down slowly it keeps filtering for longer, back-washes easily and pairs well with filter coal in dual media systems.

About the product
How this sand performs
Bio Media Sand is a filter media. It is commonly used to process wastewater, to capture harmful chemicals and silt from surface runoff, and for micro-biotic oxidation of contaminants to support vegetation. Its job is to filter and purify groundwater or wastewater efficiently.
We make our Bio Media Sand from a blend of graded pure sands, so every load is consistent and reliable. It is then triple washed on state-of-the-art equipment to remove contaminants and keep your filtration system performing at its best.
A big advantage of this sand is how slowly it breaks down. It filters for longer before it needs replacing, and your system stays efficient for longer too.
In dual media filtration systems, such as commercial filters and water treatment plants, Bio Media Sand back-washes very well. Its make-up means it is easy to clean and maintain.
It plays a crucial role in wastewater treatment, stormwater management and groundwater filtration systems.
