## Description

Product description           Dreaming of Sparkling Clean Pool Water? Replace Your old pool filter sand now!  The single largest surface area exposed to contamination in a pool or hot tub is the sand within the filter units. Traditional pool & spa filter sand becomes widely colonized by a range of bacterial agents within a few days. Alginates excreted by these bacteria glue the sand grains together and prevent the filters from working efficiently. Glass media is more efficient than sand because it is more resistant to bacterial colonization. The "secret sauce" why glass is more resistant to bacteria is both its shape and its zeta potential (a slight negative electrical charge). Green and brown colored glass is generally undesirable to be recycled into bottles by industry - but perfect for filtration! If you harness this efficiency with a new backwash regime, less power, water & chemicals are required to keep your pool or jacuzzi crystal clean. Durafilter Glass Filter Media is supplied in 25kg bags perfect for larger filters. With a fine grade of 0.5-1.00 mm it can be used on its own or with a bed of larger grade 1-2mm to provide excellent filtration.Glass has a density 15%-20 lower than sand, depending on grade. Therefore, on a weight for weight basis, the amount required for any specific filter will be approximately 15% less than that for sand  to fill the same volume of the filter. Because of this and the operational savings, it offers exceptional value for moneyBe sure to choose only sustainable recycled glass filter media. Every bag sold recycles hundreds of bottles and helps reduces landfill and carbon emissions!Why are you still using your old silica sand? Filter efficiently, with Durafilter, save money and help the environment!  .

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this the same as #20 silica sand 0.45mm - 85mm?**
A: Yes. This grade of Durafilter is manufactured as a direct substitute for #20 silica sand. There is a small grain size differential as we grade according to PAS102 which is 0.5mm -1.00mm. This won't cause any issues in your filtration system.

**Q: I have been told I need 8/16 - would this be the right grade?**
A: 8/16 is equivalent to 1-2mm - slightly coarser than this prodcut. Please enter a search for our other product called "Evoclear" - this is a precise 1-2mm grade and perfect replacement for your requirements.  Evoclear is sold in easy to handle 15kg bags and used extensively in Europe and Australia.

**Q: Hi is this a suitable substitute for 16/30 filter sand?**
A: Hello - yes. 16/30 filter sand is 0.5 -1.00 mm in size. Durafilter grade one is carefully manufactured as a perfect sustainable substitute for this sand. 
Our UK stock sold out today. More will be available in a few days.

**Q: Can this be used with other sand products used in sand pumps or do I have to use same stuff before**
A: yes. this is manufactured to be a direct replacement for sand in sand filter pumps. Best practice is to remove all the dirty old sand first. Then cover the laterals with some water before adding the glass media.
