Alamo Brand (A7200) Micro-Z Zeolite Media for Sediment Filtration 1 Cubic Foot
Micro-Z Zeolite Media (A7200) 1 Cubic Foot
Alamo's Micro-Z A7200 zeolite media delivers 5 micron nominal filtration in a unique porous structure that allows particulate to penetrate deeply into the bed instead of loading at the surface. This architectural advantage enables higher service flow rates of 12-20 GPM per square foot with significantly reduced backwash frequency compared to conventional sand or multimedia filter beds.
Why Micro-Z Outperforms Conventional Media
Superior Particle Removal
5 micron nominal rating vs. 20 micron for sand, 15 for sand/anthracite, and 12 for conventional multimedia systems
2.8X Loading Capacity
Unique zeolite structure holds nearly 3 times more suspended solids than sand before requiring backwash
Reduced Pressure Drop
Light green 14x40 mesh granules allow higher flow rates without increasing headloss across the filter bed
Lightweight Design
55 lbs per cubic foot bulk density reduces shipping costs and simplifies handling during installation or media replacement
Extended Service Cycles
Higher solids loading means less frequent backwashing, reducing water waste and operational downtime
Durable Zeolite Composition
Mohs hardness of 4 with 2.2 gm/cc specific gravity and 1.9 uniformity coefficient ensures consistent performance over time
Recommended Installation Parameters
| Bed Depth | 36" - 48" recommended |
| Freeboard | 50% of bed depth |
| Service Flow Rate | 12-20 GPM per square foot |
| Backwash Flow Rate | 12-16 GPM per square foot |
| Backwash Expansion | 30-40 percent bed expansion |
| Mesh Size | 14x40 granular zeolite |
| Initial Preparation | Allow bed to soak overnight before first backwash |
Sediment Filter Systems
The Alamo A7200 Micro-Z zeolite media is designed for multimedia filter tanks, commercial sediment filtration systems, and any application requiring high-capacity particulate removal. Compatible with standard backwashing filter vessels sized for 36-48 inch bed depths. Ideal for municipal water treatment, industrial process water, well water filtration, and pre-treatment ahead of membrane systems where extended run times and reduced maintenance are priorities.
Manufactured by Watts under the Alamo brand with decades of proven performance in demanding commercial and municipal filtration applications.
