FILTER MEDIA CHANGE
Your filter is the dustbin of your pool it is where all the rubbish and bits go to be thrown away. There are two main types of filter media SAND and now GLASS.
Sand has been around for years and it is widely known that it will need replacing every 3-5 years. We offer sand media change from £150 depending on the size of your filter.

ACTIVE FILTER GLASS (AFG)
This media is by far the best you can buy for your pool. some of the benefits are listed below

10 reasons why AfG glass is better than sand
• AFG will remove at least 30% more solids from the water than a high quality silica sand
• AFG removes much smaller particles than sand through surface adsorption due to the high zeta potential on AFG
• AFG removes dissolved organics and heavy metals, also by surface adsorption
• Surface catalytic properties makes AFG self sterilising
• AFG does not become blocked by bacterial growth in the filter bed
• Undesirable chloramines greatly reduced when using AFG
• Easy to backwash, approx. 50% less water is used in comparison to sand
• AFG does not get consumed, it is likely that it will last for the life of the filter
• 10% less media required than sand (90kg of AFG = 100kg of silica sand)
• AFG removes much smaller particles than sand through surface adsorption due to the high zeta potential on AFG
• AFG removes dissolved organics and heavy metals, also by surface adsorption
• Surface catalytic properties makes AFG self sterilising
• AFG does not become blocked by bacterial growth in the filter bed
• Undesirable chloramines greatly reduced when using AFG
• Easy to backwash, approx. 50% less water is used in comparison to sand
• AFG does not get consumed, it is likely that it will last for the life of the filter
• 10% less media required than sand (90kg of AFG = 100kg of silica sand)
AFG BOASTS A PAY BACK PERIOD OF AROUND 12 MONTHS, DUE TO LESS CHEMICAL DEMAND AND REDUCTION IN DUMPING HEATED AND TREATED WATER. THIS IS THE MOST COST EFFECTIVE WAY OF RUNNING YOUR FILTER.
