Water treatment quartz sand uses natural high-quality quartz ore as raw material, and undergoes a series of production processes such as crushing, stone rolling, water washing and screening, drying and screening, which effectively protects the natural structure of quartz stone, thereby extending the service life of the filter material. It has the advantages of fast filtration speed, no mixed layers, good filtration effect, stable effluent water quality, no clogging and no agglomeration. The most important thing is that the water treatment quartz sand is rolled by stone rolling, the particles are spherical, and the extension of the circulation channel in the filtration is increased.
