This is a one pound bag of FilterBalls Blu, 15 microns, for your sand filter housing. FilterBalls are made of a lightweight material that is 100 times lighter than sand. So you only need one bag of FilterBalls to replace 100 lbs. of sand. It makes changing the filter media so much easier than sand.
FilterBalls work by trapping material like pollens, dead skin, hair, body oils, and other unwanted particles. They remove particles down to 15 microns whereas sand only goes down to 25-45 microns. When it is time to clean the system, the normal backwash process will release the trapped debris from the filter balls and flush it from the tank.
Not only do the FilterBalls give you clean, clear water, but they also reduce operating pressure on your pump. So your pump does not have to work as hard. Plus, you backwash less often. This saves you time, money, and extends the life of your pool pump. With the reduced operating pressure, you also improve energy efficiency.
FilterBalls are 100% recyclable. You may recycle your them every 3 to 5 years. So they are environment friendly. FilterBalls also meet the highest standards set for filter media. This media is certified for health and safety in pools and potable water to the stringent NSF standards, 50, 42, 61, and 372.
Whether you have a small backyard pool or a large waterpark, FilterBalls will prove to be far superior than sand. It can also be used to replace Zeolite and Mystic White filter media.
