Pool Water Filter Media Glass Beads from Waterco

Waterco launches new, superior pool water filter media
Glass Beads designed for outstanding water purity and clarity

International swimming pool and water treatment specialist Waterco Ltd has extended its recently launched EnviroPro range with the launch of a new generation of superior pool water filter media, Waterco's Glass Beads.

Manufactured from 100% virgin glass, Waterco's Glass Beads offer much finer filtration than other alternatives and are therefore capable of providing outstanding water purity and clarity (filtration below 3 microns). They also require 20 per cent less water for backwashing compared to sand.

Ultimate water purity
"Whereas other filter media may contain different contaminants, Waterco's Glass Beads are manufactured from 100% virgin glass and are chemically inert for the ultimate water purity," says Waterco group marketing director, Bryan Goh. "In fact, Waterco's Glass Beads have been independently lab tested for leaching contaminants and found to be well within Australian Drinking Water Guidelines."

At only 0.6mm by 0.8mm in size, the narrow particle size of the Glass Beads enables in-depth superior filtration. The spherical shape also results in low friction levels, also reducing the need to backwash and saving pool owners both time and precious water.

Ultimate safety
Not only that, Glass Beads are safe to handle and safe to service, explains Goh: "Unlike crushed glass, Glass Beads are spherical and do not have sharp edges, making them really safe to use. And if there's ever a failure of the filter's laterals and glass beads flow into the swimming pool, they pose no risk of injury to swimmers."

Ultimate time saving
Glass beads are also easy to install, enabling a rapid start up of the media filter. Plus its high purity means very little backwashing is required to cleanse the filter media prior to commissioning the filter.
