3 reasons why activate is a more effective filter media than sand:
- Better filtration with up to 300 times more surface area than sand for clearer water.
- Attracts and captures harmful bacteria with a negatively charged filter media for cleaner water.
- Prevents the growth of bacteria and algae with a self-sterilizing surface that for healthier water.
