Recycled glass filtration was first introduced in the 1990’s and has grown in popularity since then. Ask the Pool Guy pros highly recommend using a recycled glass media in your sand filter because it is just simply the smarter option.
Benefits of glass media:
- It is super fine and can filter particles down to 9 microns! (More than the 20 microns of traditional sand)
- It is long lasting. Glass doesn’t need to be replaced but every 10 years or so.
- Its environmental. Recycled glass media is produced from glass bottles that manufacturers don’t want.
- It’s safe and easy to use. There are no sharp edges.
- Glass doesn’t clump like silica sand and utilized the whole filter, not just 6 or so inches like sand does.
- You will use less water because your filter will require less backwashing with glass.
