Natural Sand
Starke Filter Media is one of the leading manufacturers of natural sand for the potable water, wastewater and pool industries since 1938.
Starke’s Natural Sand is extracted from a clean glacial sand deposit. It has a proper angularity, hardness, sphere city and size and hence meets the criterion to be categorized into high-quality filter sand. The angular shape of the uncrushed filter sand enhances the flow and ensures even distribution. To meet the exact specifications of fine quality filter sand, Starke filter sand is washed, kiln dried and screened with strict adherence to quality control. It is a perfect filter media for all applications.
