FAQ
Is glass filter media better than traditional pool sand?
Yes, upgrading your sand filter with glass media is one of the best investments you can make for water clarity. Glass media filters particles down to 3–5 microns, whereas traditional sand only filters down to 20–40 microns.
- Lifespan: Standard filter sand breaks down and requires replacement every 3 to 5 years. Glass media is highly durable and can last for 8 to 10 years or more.
- Less Maintenance: Because glass media is lighter and less prone to clogging, you will not have to backwash it nearly as often as traditional sand, saving you both time and water.
