Solar Ingenuity Replace sand with Ultra clear Glass filter Media

10 February 2022

Mark A. Barnes from Solar Ingenuity (www.solaringenuity.co.za) used our Grade 1 Ultra Clear Glass Filter Media to replace one of his clients old Sand Filter Media.

To get at least 95% of the sand out, they had to turn the filter on waste. After this process, the new media was installed. Mark also cleaned the bottom of the swimming pool using a vacuum. After the media was installed an automatic pool cleaner was put in and they then turned back to normal filter, water circulation.

Mark used 5 x 20 Kg bags of Ultra Clear Glass Filter Media for the replacement and performed two backwash and rinse cycles immediately. Thereafter he backwashed the filter once every two days. The after images were taken 3 days after the exchange.
