Filter Media

Filter media can be hard to chose from sometimes, so here is a little information to get you started.
The most obvious and popular choice is Sand. Sand has been used in filters from day 1, and has remained the most effective solution for filtering pools. until now...

We have introduced PureFlow to the UK Pool Market over the past three years, and it is proving to be a big favourite for domestic and commercial pools.

• PureFlow is constructed of continuous fibres, and is extremely light. Just 1kg of PureFlow is the equivelant to 80kg of sand! Transporting PureFlow is easy and hassle free.
• PureFlow has some obvious advantages over any other filter media out there. 
• Particle selectivity is down to half a micron (0.005mm Big) compared to sand which is capable of around 40 microns, thats a massive difference, and you will notice it.
• PureFlow is constructed of continuous fibres, which means they dont break and catch onto the latterals insisde the filter.
• PureFlow can be disposed with household waste.
• PureFlow is easy to remove and apply to filters, saving you time.
• PureFlow provides less stress onto your filtration system, It produces 20 millibars of backwash pressure, compared to Sand 200 millibars, meaning less repair work on laterals, O'Rings etc...
• PureFlow has a quick backwash time, which means less water is wasted, less heat is disposed of, less chemicals are removed, saving you money on bills.
• Overall, PureFlow provides a much better quality of filtration in a shorter period of time.
