Description

The Crystal Quest Commercial SMART GAC Water Filtration System is designed for commercial and industrial water treatment applications that need advanced contaminant reduction, efficient filtration, and flexible system configuration.

This system uses Crystal Quest SMART Multimedia, a special house blend designed to reduce and remove harmful contaminants while supporting better water quality.

Unlike standard GAC filters, Crystal Quest Commercial SMART Filters include two types of Eagle Redox Alloys® to help prevent bacteria growth and extend the life of the Granulated Activated Carbons. Without these two ERA® media types, there may be a greater chance of bacteria growth in the filter media.

Each SMART GAC system is customizable and includes pre-filters and post-filters to support filtration before and after the main media tank. The system can also be paired with a water softener to help address hard water problems in commercial, industrial, agricultural, school, government, and service-industry applications.

SMART Multimedia filtration uses a proven layered design. Coarse media layers in the top of the tank trap larger particles, while finer media layers deeper in the media bed capture smaller particles. This allows filtration to occur throughout the entire bed, improving overall filtering efficiency.

SMART Multimedia filters typically remove particles from 5 to 15 microns in size. By comparison, a conventional single-media sand filter generally removes particles 30 microns or larger. This makes SMART Multimedia a strong option for applications that need finer particle reduction and more efficient commercial water filtration.
