The Silica Sand (White Lightning) 50 lb Filter Media is a premium, high-purity crystalline quartz silica sand engineered specifically for commercial and residential granular media pressure filters, rapid-rate gravity filters, and aquatic filtration beds (such as TR100, TR140, and commercial side-mount/top-mount sand filters). Mined, washed, dried, and precision-screened to meet strict AWWA B100 and NSF/ANSI Standard 50/60 specifications, it provides high chemical inertness, uniform grain morphology to reduce compaction, and optimal void spaces for balanced particulate capture (down to the 20–40 micron range) without excessive head loss.

The shipping weight of a single unit is exactly 50.0 to 51.0 lbs (22.7 to 23.1 kg) gross. For bulk logistics, it is palletized in standard configurations of 40 to 60 bags per skid (2,000 to 3,000 lbs / 907 to 1,360 kg net), wrapped in heavy shrink film with a pallet protective cover sheet for weather resistance during freight transit.
