BRZ™ reduces backwash time by up to 50% and has higher loading capacity than sand. When BRZ™ is used
in place of sand, there is less eye burning because it exchanges ammonium from urine directly into the crystal
lattice where it is not water soluble. This results in less chlorine use and fewer formed chloramines that burn
the eyes. Life expectancy is the same as sand. Go to BRZ™ FOR SWIMMING POOL FILTER MEDIA for
more detailed information. DRINKING WATER PURIFICATION
BRZ™ natural zeolite is an effective replacement for sand/anthracite and multimedia beds for surface and
ground water filtration. It is economical for filter beds upstream to RO and Nano-membranes. The U.S. drinking
water standards for microorganism pathogens, and turbidity can be most easily met using a natural, relatively
low-cost BRZ™ rather than ”sand” which is chiefly quartz grains.

clarification performance and decreases filter bed solids loading. Spent BRZ™ reagent can be land applied
whereas spent alum/polymer reagent must be taken to a licensed land fill.

purification and particulate removal of nitrogen and organic
hydrocarbons
BRZ™ is an ideal physical collector of pathogens such as Giardia, cryptosporidium, and other bacteria and
their spores. Most of these organisms and their spores are in the size range of 0.5-10 micrometers (microns).
The water permeable pores in BRZ™ are mostly smaller than .05 microns; therefore the zeolite fragment or
granule can “surface collect” a high percentage of these microorganisms while the water passes through the
zeolite.

for more detailed information. better filtrate clarity
BRZ™ used in drinking water and swimming pool filtration applications produces DE like clarity with a nominal
3 to 5 micron rating.

increased flow rates in gravity and pressure vessel systems
In a BRZ™ filter media system, the flow rate is typically in the 4.0 gpm per square foot range compared to a
sand/anthracite filter media system the flow rate is typically 1.2 to 2.0 gpm per square foot. When BRZ™ is
used in a pressure vessel filter system the flow rates are typically in the 12 to 15 (and sometimes 20) gpm
per square foot range compared to a sand/anthracite pressure vessel filter system where the flow rates are
typically 6 to 7 gpm per square foot. Go to BRZ™ FOR DRINKING WATER FILTRATION for more detailed
information. removal of ammonium from aquariums, fisheries, FISH TRANSPORT trucks
BRZ™ zeolites are used for the removal of ammonium from water fisheries, trucks to transport fish, and
aquariums. The addition of zeolite to ponds and tanks often stops or inhibits the growth of algae by removing
nitrogen from the water. BRZ™ absorbs ammonium and ammonia gas to reduce the conversion of the nitrogen
to nitrates and nitrites that cause water pollution.
