It is nearly time again to enjoy the heat of the sun. The sand filter is built with a large tank that has a broad layer of special sand. As the sand filter, traps all the dirt to make the pool water free from dirt and bacteria, it also makes the water clearer. Did you know that there are also some alternatives that you can choose from other than the pool sand? Here is the list:

#20 SILICA is the standard media in sand filters. It catches the tiny and large debris such as hair, insects, and leaves. There are two alternatives that can change the silica inside the filter.

ZEOSAND is made of Zeolite from a certain mineral. It has the same characteristics as sand. Their texture and shape are the same, that made it a perfect replacement. Unlike silica, Zeosand traps smaller debris.

FILTER GLASS is recycled made of reprocessed glass that is smoothly crushed to use as an alternative for pool sand. They basically work the same but you will not need to use as much sand for filtration. It is a perfect choice if you are living in an eco-friendly lifestyle.
