Filter Glass Media

Usage Information

All the information you need to correctly use Filter Glass Media and enjoy all the benefits of a eco-friendly filter solution.

Instructions:

  • Remove the sand filtration media from the filter tank.

  • Rinse out the filter tank to remove any sand filtration media that is still in the filter tank.

  • Cover the inlet pipe with a plastic bag to prevent glass filtration media from going into the inlet pipe.

  • Fill the filter tank with the glass filtration media below the laterals, make sure that the laterals are supported by the glass media.

  • Top up with the remaining glass filtration media.

  • Remove the plastic bag from the inlet pipe.

  • Backwash the filter for 2 minutes and rinse for 10 seconds.

  • Let the glass media do the work. Effortless!

Pure Glass Media

Effortless glass filtration media is made from recycled glass.

Effortless glass filtration media is made from recycled glass. Our recycled glass is sourced from material that has not food and beverage contamination Its angular, non-spherical shape allows for premium filtration. Effortless Glass has superior chemical resistance and improved durability. Foreign objects cannot attach to the surface of our filtration media, preventing clumping and tunneling.

Glass filtration media is a relatively new innovation in the world of water purification, but it has already gained popularity due to its numerous advantages over traditional sand filters.

Here are some interesting facts about glass filtration media:

Environmentally Friendly:

Glass filtration media is made from recycled glass, making it a sustainable and eco-friendly choice. It helps divert waste glass from landfills and reduces the need to extract new raw materials.

Superior Filtration:

Glass filtration media offers superior filtration compared to sand filters. Its smooth, uniform surface and consistent particle size allows it to capture smaller contaminants, resulting in clearer and cleaner water.

Reduced Backwashing:

Glass filtration media requires less frequent backwashing compared to sand filters. Backwashing is the process of reversing the flow of water through the filter to clean it out. Less backwashing saves water, reduces energy consumption, and extends the lifespan of the filter.

Longer Lifespan:

Glass filtration media typically lasts longer than sand filters. Its durable composition and resistance to abrasion help it maintain its effectiveness over time.

Reduced Chemical Usage:

Glass filtration media can help reduce the amount of chemicals needed to treat water. Its superior filtration ability can remove more contaminants, potentially reducing the reliance on chlorine or other disinfectants.

Versatility:

Glass filtration media is compatible with various sanitisation systems, including chlorine, bromine, and ozone. This versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of water purification applications.

Healthier Pools:

Glass filtration media is considered a healthier choice for swimming pools as it can help prevent the growth of bacteria and algae. This can lead to cleaner, more hygienic pool water.

Economical:

While the initial cost of glass filtration media may be slightly higher than sand, its long lifespan, reduced backwashing, and potential for chemical savings can make it a more economical choice in the long run.
