Water is a precious resource, playing an essential role for human life. However, water sources are now gradually being polluted by many different factors, seriously affecting human health. Therefore, water filter materials are an important component in the water treatment system to provide clean water for use. To learn more about the classification and price of water filter materials today, read the article below!
What are water filter materials?
Water filter materials are materials mined from nature and used in water filtration systems to remove impurities, dirt, bacteria, heavy metals and other toxic substances from water.

Each type of material has its own functions and characteristics, suitable for different water sources. Alum filter materials, well water filters, domestic water filters or tap water filters are all commonly called water filter materials.
Classification of water filter materials
There are many different types of water filter materials, classified based on function and structure:
- Raw water filter materials: including quartz sand, water filter gravel.
- Alum and heavy metal filter materials: American zeomangan granules, Vietnamese manganese sand, Greensand USA.
- pH raising materials: LS Vietnam, Flogman, Corosex, Aluwat (to increase water pH).
- Alum removal materials: Birm (specialized in removing iron alum).
- Lime removal and water softening materials: Indian Idion, Swedish Cation, Jacobi Cation (removes limescale, softens water).
- Deodorizing materials: Coconut shell activated carbon, northern tea charcoal, Jacobi charcoal, Modi charcoal (absorbs impurities, deodorizes water).
- Aquarium and fish tank water filter materials: Steel wool, coral (filters dirt, creates water environment for fish).
- Wastewater treatment materials (removes impurities, bacteria, heavy metals in wastewater).

Order of water filter material layers in domestic water filtration system
In the domestic water filtration system, the filter materials are arranged in layers, because each type of material has a different water filtration function. In addition, the quality of the input water source also affects the selection of suitable filter materials.

For tap water, pH raising beads should not be used because the pH concentration in tap water has reached the standard. Instead, water softening materials and activated carbon should be used to remove the chlorine odor.
For well water contaminated with iron alum, use Manganese. If the iron alum is heavier, use Birm USA granules with the following layer order:
- Layer 1: Gravel layer to filter water, prevent other filter materials from flowing into the water pipe.
- Layer 2: Activated carbon deodorizing material layer to filter water.
- Layer 3: Quartz sand layer to filter impurities and dirt.
- Layer 4: Alum filter material layer, heavy metals such as manganese sand,…
- Layer 5: pH raising material layer (if water pH < 6.5).
