ReThink Pool Care MICRON 1 Glass Filter Media for Pool Sand Filters - 50lbs

ReThink Pool Care MICRON 1 Glass Filter Media is a high-performance filtration upgrade designed to dramatically improve the efficiency of traditional pool sand filters.

Most sand filters use silica sand media that typically filters particles in the 20 to 40 micron range. MICRON 1 glass filter media provides a significant improvement by filtering particles down to approximately 1 micron. This allows the filtration system to capture finer debris, suspended contaminants, and organic particles that would normally circulate back into the pool.

Made from recycled glass, MICRON 1 media also helps prevent bacterial growth and biofilm formation inside the filter. Traditional sand media can trap bacteria within the filter bed, which can reduce sanitizer efficiency and contribute to cloudy water. The engineered surface structure of glass media resists bacterial colonization while allowing more effective filtration.

Why Glass Filter Media Outperforms Sand

• Filters particles down to approximately 1 micron
• Improves overall water clarity and filtration performance
• Resists biofilm and bacterial growth within the filter
• Reduces backwashing water usage by up to 50 percent
• Expected service life up to 10 years
• Eco-friendly filtration media made from recycled glass

For pool owners upgrading a traditional sand filter system, MICRON 1 offers a simple media replacement that delivers noticeably clearer water while improving overall system efficiency.
