Glass Filter Media Beads 0.5–1 mm, 25 kg

Glass Filter Media Beads 0.5–1 mm, 25 kg The Glass Filter Media Beads (25 kg) are manufactured from 100% pure glass and feature a perfectly spherical shape with a grain size of 0.5–1.0 mm. Designed to deliver outstanding filtration performance, they provide a superior alternative to traditional quartz filter sand, ensuring cleaner, clearer pool water with lower maintenance requirements. Unlike conventional filter media, which can trap contaminants within their structure, glass beads are chemically inert, preventing the accumulation of impurities and allowing for faster filter start-up. They are also completely safe if they accidentally enter the pool due to filter damage. The perfectly spherical beads create a highly homogeneous filter bed, capable of filtering particles as small as 3 microns. They are particularly suitable for saltwater pools and mineral water systems, where they outperform traditional filtration media. After each backwash cycle, the smooth glass surface is effectively cleaned, requiring up to 20% less backwash water than quartz sand. This reduces water consumption, maintenance time, and operating costs. Because glass beads are denser than sand, they require 20% less filter media to fill the same filter volume. 1 kg of quartz sand can be replaced with only 0.8 kg of glass beads. Key Benefits Made from 100% pure glass Grain size: 0.5–1.0 mm Filters particles down to 3 microns Removes up to 30% more contaminants than quartz filter sand Requires up to 20% less water for backwashing Reduces chemical consumption and energy costs More resistant to bacterial growth and biofilm formation Smooth, non-porous surface for easier cleaning Ideal for freshwater, mineral water, and saltwater pools 20% less media required compared to filter sand (1 kg sand = 0.8 kg glass beads) Long service life of up to 20 years Bag weight: 25 kg
