Zeolite for water treatment
100% natural clinoptilolite zeolite
Zeolite for the Treatment of Primary Water, Municipal and Industrial Wastewater, Swimming Pools, and Aquariums
Zeolite is a natural mineral of volcanic origin that possesses high porosity, lightness, a high cation exchange capacity (CEC), and excellent adsorption and filtration properties.
Thanks to its unique and specific characteristics, this material can be used in different granulometries for various applications:
– As a chemically pure filtering agent, it is used for filtering a wide range of substances present in water, removing suspended solids, turbidity, and apparent color.
– As a chemically modified filtering agent, it is designed to significantly enhance selectivity for specific ions such as iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), and other contaminants.
– As an adsorbent agent, in its micronized form, it is used for contaminant removal in wastewater treatment tanks.
Tailor-Made Feasibility Studies
Zeocel Italia offers the possibility of conducting preliminary tests on the contaminated matrix of interest, carried out in our laboratory:
- Batch and column tests
- Adsorption isotherms and saturation curves
- Micronized zeolite dosage tests
- Customized modified zeolites
Laboratory tests help identify the most suitable type of zeolite and the optimal operating conditions for each specific application.

- Removes turbidity and apparent color of the water;
- Facilitates drying and sedimentation of sludge;
- Easy to integrate into existing systems, with the possibility of combined use with polymers and coagulants;
- It can be used in a wide pH range (4-10).
Pool
DESCRIPTION
It is a high quality granular product for swimming pool water filtration, based on high purity natural zeolite clinoptilolite. It is a 100% natural product.
APPLICATIONS
It is used in water filtration of public and private swimming pools.
BENEFITS
ZEOPOOL is a high-performance filter material because it has a high capacity to retain dirt and remove even the finest particles (up to 5 microns). It guarantees cleaner pool water, with efficient abatement of suspended solids (SS). Eliminates the effects associated with the use of chlorine in the pool: burning eyes, skin irritation (itching) or dry skin and irritating odors. The high ability of ZEOPOOL to imprison dirt results in a lower frequency of backwashing and, consequently, lower water and energy consumption, with fewer drains into the environment. Improved chlorine efficiency leads to a significant reduction in the use of the same.
Aquarium
DESCRIPTION
It is a highly efficient natural zeolite suitable for aquariums, filters, tanks, beds and terrariums, based on high purity natural zeolite clinoptilolite. It is a 100% natural product available in different grain sizes depending on the needs.
APPLICATIONS
It is suitable for fresh and marine waters.
BENEFITS
ZEOFISH binds ammonium quickly and effectively, thus preventing ammonia from forming and promoting the vitality of your fish. It is a highly efficient element to reduce ammonium in your aquarium. It prevents ammonia build-up, effectively reduces algae growth and can help improve plant growth.
