Water-Right Inc., a water treatment equipment manufacturer, is now offering the natural zeolite mineral Turbidex.

Turbidex is a hyper-filtration media that is suited for a variety of commercial and industrial water treatment applications. Turbidex is made of aluminosilicate mineral, which provides outstanding filtration of suspended solids due to the high surface area of the granules.

“Our company has always strived to provide the absolute best in filtration media,” Water-Right President Kurt Gruett says. “We’ve been offering custom-engineered Crystal-Right media for decades and the addition of Turbidex means we can offer two innovative media options depending on a customer’s needs.”

Turbidex is efficient at filtration in the 3 to 5 micron range. This can lead to cost savings because it reduces the need for additional downstream filtration. Turbidex provides physical and electrostatic adsorption, along with ion exchange and flocculation.

Other cost-efficient features of the natural media include high flow rate and shipping savings because it is as much as 70 percent lighter than other medias.The most notable benefit, according to the company, is water clarity. Turbidex reduces turbidity down to less than 0.1 NTU.

Additional features include:

• Naturally inhibits bacterial growth
• High capacity for ammonia removal
• Suitable for reverse osmosis pre-treatment
• Reduced chlorine feed, filter size and need for cartridge changes
• Energy savings
