Filters

Pool water free from debris and other contaminants is important for maintaining swimmers’ health and safety, not to mention happiness. But the type of filter you need can differ depending on your filtration needs, financial situation and willingness to put time and effort into maintenance. Plus the quality of filtration depends on the size of the filter media; the finer the media, the higher the purity of water achieved.

Glass Pearls

How it works:
One of the newest filter media on the market, Glass Pearls offer a filtration level comparable to DE. Made from pure glass, the Glass Pearls filter out anything larger than 3 microns, giving you superior quality water.

Pros:

Small effective size of only 0.6mm to 0.8mm. Its narrow particle size range allows very effective in-depth filtration
Spherical shape of beads means less friction levels inside the filter and therefore requiring only 20% of the water you would use to backwash a sand filter
Chemically inert, safe, smooth and high purity

Cons:

Still requires backwashing occasionally
More costly than sand and Zeoplus
