Upgrading to Glass Filtration for Maximum Pool Cleanliness
Maintaining a clean and healthy swimming pool requires routine maintenance, and changing your pool filter is a critical part of that. Filters help remove impurities from the water, ensuring that your pool remains clear, clean, and safe to swim in. But how do you know when it’s time to change your pool filter? And which type of filter is best for your pool? In order to keep your pool sparkling clean all season long, it is highly recommended to change the sand media every 5 years , and the glass media every 8-10 years.
Glass Filters vs. Sand Filters: Sand filters are the most common type of pool filter, but they have some limitations when it comes to cleaning pool water. Sand filters work by trapping particles and impurities in the sand bed, but they are not effective at capturing smaller particles. This is because sand particles are irregularly shaped and have gaps between them, which can allow smaller particles to pass through. As a result, sand filters typically only filter down to about 20-40 microns, which means that smaller particles can remain in the water.
Glass filters, on the other hand, are made of finely crushed glass that is shaped into small beads. The beads are uniform in size and shape, which creates a more efficient filtration system. The glass beads have more surface area than sand, which allows them to trap smaller particles and impurities. This means that glass filters can filter down to 5-10 microns, which is significantly better than sand filters. As a result, glass filters provide a much cleaner and healthier swimming environment for your family.
Pool filter changes may seem daunting, but they are a necessary part of pool maintenance. By upgrading to a glass filter, you can enjoy cleaner, clearer water and reduce the time and money spent on maintenance. With superior filtration capabilities and a longer lifespan, glass filters are a smart investment for any pool owner. So why wait?

Questions
Sand Filter Change FAQ
How often should I change my pool filter?
The frequency of filter changes depends on several factors, including the size of your pool, the type of filter you have, and how often you use your pool. In general, it’s a good idea to change your pool filter every 2-3 years.
What are the benefits of upgrading to glass?
Glass pool filters offer several advantages over traditional sand filters. They provide superior filtration, which means your pool water will be cleaner and clearer. Unlike sand filters, which only filter down to about 20-40 microns, glass filters can filter down to 5-10 microns. This means that glass filters can capture smaller particles and impurities, including algae, bacteria, and even some viruses. As a result, glass filters provide a cleaner, healthier swimming environment for you and your family.
