Filter media replacement for softeners, sand, carbon and iron filters
Media wears out. Softener resin stops softening, sand filters pass dirt, carbon stops taking out chlorine and smell, and iron media lets iron through. We empty the vessel, check the distributor and laterals, refill fresh media in graded layers, backwash, rinse and test the outlet. For homes, apartments, factories and RO plant pre-treatment, on any brand of vessel.
- Any brand of vessel and valve
- Itemised quote by kg of each media
- Old media removed and the vessel cleaned
- Outlet tested before we leave
- GST invoice, delivery challan and e-way bill for business sites
- Mangaluru and Bengaluru teams
Replace the media, keep the vessel. If the FRP vessel and valve are sound, fresh media brings the filter back for a fraction of a new unit.
Is your media worn out?
Each filter tells you in its own way. If you see one of these after a proper backwash or regeneration, the media is the likely cause.
Softener: hard water soon after regeneration
Scale returns, soap does not lather, salt use goes up.
Sand filter: dirty water or choking cartridges
Muddy water passes, or the cartridges after it choke in days.
Carbon filter: smell or chlorine gets through
Chlorine smell, odour or colour after the carbon.
Iron remover: yellow water is back
Iron comes through even after a backwash.
Media coming out of the taps
Grains in the water, a broken lateral or a damaged distributor.
Send us the vessel size and a photo
The sticker on the vessel (for example 1054, 1354 or 2162) and a photo of the valve tell us most of what we need to quote.
The media we carry
Softener resin
Cation exchange resin that swaps hardness for sodium and regenerates with salt.
Water softeners →Filter sand and graded gravel
Rough sand and graded silica gravel as the support bed, with filter sand above.
Activated carbon
Coconut shell activated carbon for chlorine, odour and organic matter.
Catalytic iron media
MnO2-coated catalytic media that catches dissolved iron and manganese.
Iron removal →Pre-treatment refills
Sand and carbon vessels ahead of an RO plant, with cartridges and antiscalant.
RO plant AMC →From inspection to tested water.
We recently replaced the softener and sand filter media at a food factory in Dakshina Kannada, with the media itemised on the invoice and an e-way bill for the delivery. Every job follows the same steps.
What to have ready
- Vessel size and valve typeFrom the sticker on the vessel, or a photo.
- What the water is used forDrinking, process, boiler, softener feed.
- A drain and the bypassSo the site keeps water while we work.
- Purchase order details (business sites)GSTIN, billing address, delivery address.
What our technicians do
- Inspect the vessel, valve, distributor and laterals.
- Quote by kg of each media, itemised.
- Empty the old media and clean the vessel.
- Refill in graded layers: gravel at the bottom, working media above, with space left for the bed to lift in backwash.
- Backwash and rinse until the water runs clear.
- Test the outlet water and hand over.
Grains coming out of the taps usually mean a broken lateral or distributor at the bottom of the vessel. We check both every time a vessel is open.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know the media needs replacing?
If the problem comes back right after a proper backwash or regeneration: hard water from a softener, dirty water from a sand filter, smell after a carbon filter, or yellow water after an iron remover.
Can you replace media in a vessel from another brand?
Yes. Media replacement works on any brand, as long as the FRP vessel and the valve are in good condition. We check both first.
How is the price worked out?
By the kg of each media your vessel takes, plus labour. The quote lists every media line separately.
Will we be without water during the job?
The vessel is bypassed while we work, so water keeps flowing untreated for those hours.
Do you provide paperwork for companies?
Yes: a GST invoice from Puryn International with the media itemised, a delivery challan and an e-way bill where the delivery needs one.
How often does media need replacing?
It depends on the water and the use, so we go by the signs and the outlet test rather than a fixed date.
How does the lab test work?
You get two lab reports: a pre-treatment report before we recommend anything and a post-treatment report after installation. Both, worth ₹2,000, are included in the price of your system. You pay ₹1,000 when we take the first sample, and it is adjusted when you order. For example, on a ₹65,000 system you pay the remaining ₹64,000.
