Watts (A7007A) Media Gravel, 1/2” inch x 1/4” inch
Watts Media Gravel, 1/2" x 1/4"
Precision-graded support media for point-of-entry filtration systems. The foundation layer that prevents media migration and ensures even flow distribution.
The Foundation of Effective Filtration
Precision Grading
Each piece sized between 1/2" and 1/4" to create optimal void space for water distribution without allowing finer media to pass through.
Prevents Media Migration
Acts as a support bed beneath activated carbon, manganese greensand, or other filtration media to prevent channeling and media loss during backwash cycles.
Even Flow Distribution
Stabilizes flow patterns across the filter bed, reducing dead zones and ensuring consistent contact time between water and active media.
Backwash Stability
Stays in place during regeneration cycles, protecting distributor laterals and maintaining bed structure over years of service.
System Applications
The Watts A7007A gravel is designed for point-of-entry filtration tanks including whole house carbon filters, iron removal systems, and softener pre-filters. Typically layered 2-4 inches deep at the bottom of tanks before adding primary filter media. Compatible with Watts, Clack, Fleck, and other standard valve systems. Often used alongside finer grades like Watts A8072 #20 flint gravel for multi-layer support beds in larger commercial and residential filtration applications.
Media Bed Setup
Base Gravel Bed
Pour 2-4 inches of A7007A gravel into empty tank first, level evenly to cover distributor assembly and laterals completely.
Transition Layer
Add finer gravel grade like A8072 #20 (1/16") above base layer to create gradual transition before primary media.
Primary Media
Add activated carbon, greensand, or other filtration media on top of gravel support bed per system specifications.
Protects Distributors
Shields internal laterals from media fouling and mechanical damage
Long Service Life
Inert material that outlasts multiple media replacements
Industry Standard
Sized to AWWA standards for municipal and residential use
Ready to Install
Pre-washed and graded, no additional preparation required
