Manufactured from 100% virgin glass, Glass Pearl Media is a new generation of filtration media, capable of providing water of superior clarity and requiring less water for backwashing.
Whereas other filter media may contain a variety of contaminants, Glass Pearls are chemically inert for superior purity. In fact, Glass Pearls have been independently lab tested for leaching contaminants and found to be well within Drinking Water Guidelines. Their superior purity greatly reduces its initial backwashing requirements, prior to commissioning a filter, enabling a rapid start-up of media filters.
Glass Pearls are safe to handle & safe to service in comparison to other glass media options such as crushed glass. Glass Pearls 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 Pearls flow into the swimming pool, they pose no risk of injury to swimmers.
