Watts-A7006A Media Gravel, 1/4 IN X 1/8 IN, Orange Marking, 0.5 Cubic Foot, 50 Pound Bag
Watts A7006A Support Gravel
How Support Gravel Protects Your Filter Bed
Base Layer Installation
Installed at the bottom of the filter tank above the distributor basket or laterals, creating a stable foundation that prevents media from entering the underdrain system during backwash cycles.
Flow Equalization
The graded 1/4" x 1/8" sizing ensures even water distribution across the entire tank cross-section, eliminating channeling and dead zones that reduce contact time and filtration efficiency.
Media Bed Stability
Orange marking allows visual confirmation of proper layering during installation. The weight and size prevent upward migration during service cycles while allowing complete media expansion during backwash.
