Highly spherical shape and uniform grading provide
Clack Filter Sand and Gravel with reliable performance.
Low soluble impurities limits undesirable mineral leaching
into the process stream.
Filter Sand
and Gravel
Clack Filter Sand and Gravel are
naturally occurring, river washed, glacial
deposit products. Their excellent chemical
properties - high silica content and low
soluble calcium, magnesium and iron
compounds - meet AWWA-B100-96
specifications. Precision sizing and
uniform grading to close limits meet
the rigid specifications of professional
engineers throughout the world.
For over 80 years Clack Filter Sand
and Gravel have been satisfying the
requirements of industrial, municipal
and residential users. These products
have been specified and used nationally
and internationally because of their high
quality, desirable chemical properties,
color, and wide range of precision sizing.
Processing and regular analysis of
production are supervised by registered
professional engineers.
Clack Filter Sand is graded specifically
for water filtration plants. It can be used
in municipal, industrial or residential
applications for sediment filtration.
Clack Uncrushed Gravel has a highly
spherical shape that promotes good flow
and even distribution in support beds.
Gravel is low in soluble impurities and
it will maintain the quality of the treated
water, especially in softeners. Three inch
layers are recommended in graded support
beds.
ADVANTAGES
• Clack Filter Sand is graded
specifically for water filtration plants
• Filter Sand can be used in municipal,
industrial or residential applications
