Ruby Sand, porous ceramic, is a sand replacement that has been used by the water filtration industry for many years. The primary reason for Ruby Sand’s rapid acceptance by the filtration industry is improved clarity (3 to 5 microns) of Ruby Sand versus sand (20 to 40 microns).

Nominal filtration: 3-5 microns
