When it comes to maintaining a pristine pool, the choice of filtration media plays a crucial role. While traditional sand has been widely used, coarse glass media (1.0-3.0MM) is emerging as a superior alternative. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the advantages of using coarse glass media for your pool filtration system and why it might be the best choice for you.

In Australia, coarse glass filtration media is a popular and efficient option for pool filtration systems. These products are made from 100% recycled glass, offering both environmental benefits and superior filtration capabilities compared to traditional sand filters.

Pool filter glass media is an advanced and eco-friendly option for swimming pool filtration systems, offering significant advantages over traditional sand filters.

What is Coarse Glass Media?

Coarse glass media is made from recycled glass that has been crushed and polished to a specific size range, in this case, 1.0-3.0MM. This size range is particularly effective for pool filtration, balancing efficient filtration and optimal water flow. The media typically has a smooth surface and is chemically inert, which makes it highly durable and less prone to harboring bacteria and algae compared to sand.

Benefits of Coarse Glass Media (1.0-3.0MM)

▶ Enhanced Filtration Efficiency: Coarse glass media can trap particles as small as 5 microns, significantly finer than what traditional sand can capture. This results in cleaner, clearer water and a more enjoyable swimming experience.

▶ Improved Water Flow: The 1.0-3.0MM size range allows for better water flow through the filter, reducing the strain on your pool pump. This can lead to improved energy efficiency and lower operational costs.

▶ Eco-Friendly Option: Made from 100% recycled glass, coarse glass media is an environmentally responsible choice. By opting for glass media, you’re contributing to waste reduction and promoting sustainability.

▶ Long-Lasting Durability: Coarse glass media is more durable than sand, often lasting up to three times longer. This means fewer replacements and lower maintenance costs over the lifespan of your pool filter.

▶ Reduced Chemical Usage: With its superior filtration capabilities, coarse glass media helps maintain balanced water chemistry with fewer chemicals. This is not only cost-effective but also better for swimmers’ health and comfort.

▶ Lower Backwashing Frequency: The efficient filtration provided by coarse glass media means you’ll need to backwash your filter less frequently. This saves water and reduces the time and effort required for pool maintenance.

▶ Bacterial Resistance: The smooth surface of glass media discourages bacterial growth, a common issue with porous sand. This leads to healthier pool conditions and reduced chemical use.
