Glass Media is used in two grades – coarse and fine. The coarse grade with a 1.7 to 3.4mm particle size is used to cover the under drain and laterals of the filter and typically makes up 30% of total media requirement.
The Finer grade with a 0.4mm to 1.1mm particle size layered on the top of the coarse Grade and typically accounts for 70% of the media requirement. Glass Media is an alternative to conventional 16/30 grade sand media.

Glass is an integral part of any quality filtration system, it provides superior water flow reducing pressure with outstanding results. Ideally it works in conjunction with the mineral pool occulation process, amalgamating finer parts together which are caught in the filter, but is also effective with salt systems. When compared to a sand, zeolite, D.E. filter or cartridge filter, glass filtration media typically can save between 2,000 and 10,000 litres of water per year.
It’s All About Water Flow
The better the flow rate through your pool’s filter, the more water you circulate each minute or hour. Simply by increasing your water ow rate with glass media, cumulative energy savings can be realised with more effective filtration.
