Nature Works® offers significant advantages across the four fundamental performance criteria of filtration media: performance, efficiency, durability and safety.

1. Performance

Nature Works® is designed to effectively remove the most common particulate contaminants found in water, ensuring high filtration performance while optimizing operational efficiency and reducing costs.

This is achieved through a carefully selected grain-size distribution combined with advanced surface treatment technology. These features help prevent biofilm formation, maintain open microchannels within the filtration bed and ensure that the media is safe to handle.

The effectiveness of any filtration media depends on the right balance between filtration fineness (micron rating) and resistance to clogging. Nature Works® is engineered to optimize this balance, delivering reliable and consistent filtration performance.

2. Efficiency

Nature Works® incorporates the innovative Anti-Compaction Technology®, specifically developed to preserve the microchannels within the filtration bed and minimize pressure losses.

By maintaining optimal water flow through the filter, this technology allows pumps to operate more efficiently, reducing energy consumption and associated operating costs.

Furthermore, the prevention of compaction helps maintain the permeability of the filtration bed, reducing the frequency of backwashing and consequently lowering water consumption.

3. Durability

Many conventional filtration media experience premature deterioration due to compaction, also known as caking. This occurs when fine and coarse particles become segregated, gradually obstructing the microchannels within the filtration bed and compromising its performance.

To overcome this limitation, Nature Works® has developed its patented Anti-Compaction Technology®, based on precise grain-size selection and engineered particle characteristics. This technology is designed to maintain the structural integrity and filtration efficiency of the media, significantly extending its service life.

Unlike conventional filtration systems that require multiple layers of different grain sizes, Nature Works® achieves outstanding filtration performance using a single layer of uniformly sized media.

As a result, Nature Works® can be reused whenever necessary. Even if the media needs to be removed due to filter maintenance or equipment replacement, it can be safely and easily recovered and reinstalled, offering additional flexibility and long-term value.

4. Safety

Safety is a fundamental requirement for any material used in water treatment applications, particularly those intended for water destined for human consumption.

For this reason, Nature Works® undergoes an advanced micro-grinding process that removes sharp and cutting edges from the glass particles, resulting in a smooth, harmless material that is safe and easy to handle.

An additional and important safety advantage is the absence of free crystalline silica in its composition. Crystalline silica is a naturally occurring mineral found in rocks, sand and certain conventional filtration materials. Prolonged exposure to respirable crystalline silica dust can cause serious respiratory diseases and other lung-related health conditions.

Unlike conventional silica-based filter media, Nature Works® contains no free crystalline silica, eliminating this particular source of exposure during handling.

This characteristic has been independently certified by Bureau Veritas, under Certificate No. BV ES026775-A-CPI.
