Description
Filter Glass – Efficient Medium for Water Filtration
Filter glass is a modern filtration medium designed for sand filter systems. Thanks to this material, water filtration becomes more effective and stable. It provides higher contaminant retention than traditional filter sand and helps optimize the performance of the entire system — especially important in swimming pools and technical installations.
Key Benefits of Filter Glass
- Higher filtration efficiency than sand, making the water purification process faster
- Less frequent backwashing, reducing water and energy consumption
- Water savings during operation thanks to excellent flow properties
- Chemical neutrality — does not react with water or treatment chemicals
- Reduced bacteria and biofilm growth, improving overall water safety
- Stable and uniform flow, enabling long-term trouble-free operation
Product Description
This recycled glass filter media is made from properly processed technical glass. The smooth grain surface limits contaminant adhesion and lowers the risk of microorganism buildup. It is easy to handle and suitable for various filter types. In pool systems it enhances water clarity, while in technical applications it maintains consistent flow. Ultimately, this medium is efficient, environmentally friendly and cost-effective.
Technical Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|

Physico-Chemical Properties of Glass Granulate
| Parameter | Value / Description |
|---|---|
| Hardness | 6 – 7 on the Mohs scale |
| Bulk density | 1.4 kg / l |
| Color | white, colorless |
| Shape | irregular |
| Odor | odorless/neutral |
| Softening point | from 650°C |
| Solubility in water | none |
| pH value in water | < 11 (depending on granulation) |
| Flammability | none |
| Explosiveness | none |
| Radioactivity | none |
Granulation Size
Available fractions:
- 3–6 mm
- 2–3 mm
- 0.85–2 mm
- 0.45–2 mm ✓ UNIVERSAL / STANDARD (most recommended)
- 0.45–1.5 mm
- 0.45–0.85 mm
The 0.45–2 mm fraction offers the best balance between filtration performance and permeability and is the most commonly used.
Operational Benefits
- Reduced water use during backwashing, lowering running costs
- Longer system lifespan due to uniform flow
- Improved water clarity for safer, cleaner results
- Lower energy and maintenance expenses — especially in large setups
- Simpler and quicker filter servicing
