Pool Maxx Glass Filter Media offers an innovative solution with faster and more efficient results, making it easier than before to take care of any filtration needs. With our glass filter media, you can revolutionize your way of pool care.
What Is Glass Filter Media?
Glass filter media is a unique filtration solution that uses sand-substitute glass particles as the filtering media, rather than sand or other traditional media. Made from virgin recycled glass, this environmentally friendly alternative to traditional sand filters offers a range of benefits for pool owners. It is an innovative, cost-effective product that provides long-lasting durability and outstanding microfiltration performance in industrial and commercial processes. The resulting solution is highly efficient at removing pollutants and contaminants from water, making it ideal for a variety of applications.
Our innovative approach to filtration involves a multi-stage process that uses glass particles instead of sand. It is made with 100% recycled material, which reduces environmental impact. The result is a highly efficient and reliable solution for removing pollutants and contaminants from water. Our unique process also provides tremendous benefits in terms of lifespan since glass media can last up to five times longer than its sand or other traditional media counterparts. It offers quality performance, making it perfect for swimming pool filtration.
The Benefits of Using Glass Filter Media
The use of glass filter media offers several major advantages when compared to traditional sand filtration.
1. Improved Filtration:
One of the main advantages of using glass filter media is its superior filtration capabilities. Unlike sand, glass has a smooth surface, making it easy to trap smaller particles and debris. It leads to clear and cleaner pool water, as well as a reduction in the number of chemicals required to maintain a healthy swimming environment.
2. Longevity:
Glass filter media is also extremely durable and long-lasting. Unlike sand, which can become compacted and require regular replacement, glass filter media maintains its shape and consistency over time. It means that glass media can provide reliable filtration for up to 10-15 years, making it a cost-effective investment for pool owners.
3. Environmental Sustainability:
As mentioned, glass filter media is made from recycled glass, which makes it an environmentally friendly option for pool owners. By choosing glass over traditional sand filters, pool owners can reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future.
4. Ease of Use:
Another advantage of glass filter media is its ease of use. Unlike sand, which can be heavy and difficult to handle, glass filter media is lightweight and easy to install. Pool owners can save time and energy when it comes to maintaining their pool filtration system.
5. Compatibility:
Finally, glass filter media is compatible with various pool filtration systems. Whether you have a sand or cartridge filter, glass media can be used as a direct replacement, making it a versatile option for pool owners.
Sand filter media Vs. Glass filter media:
In today’s world, where environmental impact and cost efficiency are of utmost concern, glass filter media provides a range of benefits in swimming pool maintenance. Sand filters require weekly backwashing to maintain water flow, resulting in excessive use of water which needs to be replaced and re-heated – leading to increased energy consumption and costs. Glass filter media helps improve water flow due to its higher density, reducing the frequency of backwashing by up to 50%. It not only results in lower water consumption but also reduces energy costs.
Glass filter media is effective in filtering out microplastics, organic matter and heavy metals as small as 5 microns from the swimming pool water. Moreover, it has a surface negative charge that works effectively with coagulants like Sparkle Maxx and flocculants such as Clear Maxx that remove dissolved components.
Unlike sand filters which create pressure fluctuations over time, affecting the filtration system efficiency, glass filter media is more durable and consistent throughout its entire lifecycle - lasting as long as your filter does while steadily providing crystal-clear water that is less dependent on chlorine and minimizes chloramines and other harmful by-products of disinfection. The ability of glass filter media to prevent bacterial growth eliminates bio-coagulation that typically occurs in sand filters - keeping your swimming pool clean and healthy at all times.
