Recently recycled glass filter media has become readily available to the domestic pool market. With this more and more evidence is being produced to prove its many benefits over sand
Here is an excert from a recently published article by Certikin:
"The Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP) has conducted a number of commercial water treatment trials using recycled glass as a media and the results were highly favourable when compared to traditional sand. Glass outperformed sand, both for the amount of suspended solids removed and for the amount of influent treated, before a backwash cycle was required. In fact, it beats sand hands down! It removes up to 30 per cent more material and pollutants than sand. It’s also less susceptible to bio-fouling as the product’s heat treated surfaces are smooth, so requiring less remedial action and less chemical treatment to kill pollutants."
