Active glass beads - Pool filter media

Detailed Description

LordsWorld Active Clear Glass is a sustainable and high-performance filtration medium, ideal for use in swimming pool filters and other water filtration systems. With a non-porous design, it inhibits bacterial growth within the filter, leading to cleaner water and lower chemical requirements. Active Clear Glass’s angular particle shape enhances filtration efficiency, helping to maintain clear, sterilized water with less maintenance.

Detailed Features

Recycled Material

Produced from 100% recycled glass, contributing to a sustainable, eco-friendly filtration solution.

High Filtration Capacity

Efficiently captures fine particles, reducing water turbidity and enhancing overall water clarity.

Low Maintenance Requirements

Requires less frequent backwashing and reduces chemical dependency due to its hygienic design.

Extended Service Life

More durable than traditional sand media, with a longer lifespan and no degradation over time.

Comprehensive Description

The unique non-porous structure of Active Clear Glass minimizes bacterial and biofilm growth, keeping the filter bed cleaner for extended periods. Unlike silica sand, it offers higher filtration efficiency, using less water and energy for backwashing. Additionally, it requires 10% less media to fill filters to optimal levels, further enhancing cost-efficiency. Its angular particles allow for improved particle trapping, resulting in clear, high-quality water.

Usage Tips

• Before adding the media, half-fill the filter with water to cushion the glass during installation.
• Distribute glass media evenly across the filter bed, ensuring optimal coverage.
• Leave approximately 30% free space in the filter to allow for expansion during backwash cycles.
• Perform an initial rinse to remove fine particles, followed by a longer rinse cycle for thorough preparation.

Safety Information

• Avoid inhaling dust when handling and installing the filtration media.
• Use appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves and a mask, during installation.

Do’s and Don’ts

• Do: Wear gloves and a mask to prevent dust inhalation during handling.
• Don’t: Overfill the filter; ensure a 30% free space for effective backwashing.
