Filter Media
Over time, filter media becomes clogged, compacted and less effective, reducing water clarity and placing unnecessary strain on your pump and heating system. Regular filter media replacement is essential to maintain efficient circulation and crystal-clear water.
We carry out professional media changes using both high-quality filter sand and advanced glass pearl media. Traditional filter sand provides reliable, cost-effective filtration and is typically recommended for replacement every 4–5 years to maintain optimum performance.
For enhanced efficiency, glass pearl media offers improved debris capture, superior water clarity and reduced backwashing requirements. Due to its durability and resistance to breakdown, glass pearl media generally lasts up to 10 years before requiring replacement.
Whether replacing like-for-like sand or upgrading to glass media, we ensure your filter is properly emptied, cleaned and refilled to the correct specification — restoring peak performance and protecting your equipment for the long term.

Sand Media
Sand filter media is the traditional and most widely used filtration material for swimming pools. Specially graded silica sand is placed inside the filter vessel, where it traps dirt, debris and suspended particles as water passes through the media bed.
Reliable and cost-effective, sand provides consistent filtration for domestic pools and is suitable for most standard filtration systems. Over time, however, the sand can become compacted and less efficient, which is why it is typically recommended to be replaced every 4–5 years to maintain optimal water clarity and system performance. When correctly installed and maintained, sand media offers dependable filtration and straightforward servicing, making it a proven and practical choice for many pool owners. |
Glass Pearl Media
Glass pearl media is an advanced filtration alternative to traditional sand, offering improved efficiency and enhanced water clarity. Manufactured from specially processed glass formed into smooth, uniform pearls, it provides a more refined filtration surface that captures finer particles and reduces channelling within the filter bed.
Thanks to its smoother structure, glass pearl media requires less frequent backwashing, improves circulation efficiency and helps lower water and energy consumption. It is also more resistant to bacterial buildup compared to traditional sand, supporting cleaner, more stable water conditions. Highly durable and long-lasting, glass pearl media typically remains effective for up to 10 years, making it a premium upgrade option for pool owners looking to improve performance and reduce long-term maintenance costs. |
