    This document provides a chemical and physical analysis of PFL Slow Filter Sand. The sand is composed primarily of silica (99.25%) with small amounts of iron oxide, alumina, and potassium oxide. Physically, the sand has a typical effective size of 633 microns, uniformity coefficient of 2, and ranges from light beige to tan in color. It has a low acid solubility and turbidity and is suitable for use as a slow sand filter media.
