When investing in a multi-media filtration unit, ensuring that it performs at its maximum efficiency requires more than just the right equipment. A crucial yet sometimes overlooked factor is the media kit used within the system.
While many customers assume that any combination of media will deliver the expected micron-level filtration, the reality is that selecting the appropriate media kit is essential for achieving the desired results.
Why the Right Media Kit Matters
A filtration unit is only as good as the media it contains. We've found that customers purchase a high-quality multi-media filter unit but run into a functionality issue. Upon further inspection, we discovered that they are using only two types of media instead of the full range required. This limited selection reduces the filter's ability to achieve the targeted micron level, leading to inefficiencies and potential operational issues.
By including the recommended media kit, you ensure that your unit is equipped to filter contaminants down to the expected micron level. Our recommended media kits are carefully selected to align with the specific capabilities of each filtration unit, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.
Common Issues with Incorrect Media Use
Reduced Filtration Efficiency – Using fewer or incorrect types of media can prevent the unit from capturing finer particles, leading to inadequate filtration results.
Increased Maintenance Needs – Without the right media combination, filters may clog more quickly, requiring frequent cleaning or replacement.
Unmet Performance Expectations – Customers may believe their unit is defective when, in reality, the filtration limitations stem from improper media selection.
Our Recommendation: Use the Right Media Kit from the Start
To avoid these issues, we always recommend purchasing the appropriate media kit along with your filtration unit. This ensures that your system operates at peak performance from day one. By using the right combination of media, you achieve the promised micron-level filtration, extend the lifespan of your equipment, and reduce maintenance costs.
