Product Overview:
Zeolite for Outstanding Swimming Pool Filtration
Zeolite is a natural, environmentally safe filter media designed to replace sand in standard sand filters. It delivers superior water clarity, reduces chemical usage, and improves overall swimming comfort.
Key Benefits:
- Provides superior water clarity
- Lowers total operating costs
- Reduces backwashing by up to 50%
- Reduces chloramines, odor, and eye irritation
- Filters particles down to 2'3 microns
- Environmentally safe and all-natural
- NSF Certified to ANSI/NSF 50/61
- Replaces sand in existing sand filters
- Keeps pool water sparkling clear naturally
- Saves water, energy, labor, and chemicals
- Easy to install and compatible with all sand filters
How It Works:
No special equipment is required'simply replace the sand in your filter with Zeolite. Its unique mineral structure allows for superior physical and chemical filtration, reducing backwash frequency and water consumption by up to 50%.
Zeolite's clinoptilolite properties provide enhanced filtration while also chemically removing ammonia, resulting in clearer water with fewer irritants and reduced chlorine demand.
Why Choose Zeolite:
- Delivers D.E. (diatomaceous earth) performance with the convenience of sand
- Better filtration means reduced chemical usage and clearer water
- Removes ammonia, eliminating strong odors and eye or skin irritation
- Requires less frequent backwashing, saving water and energy
- Trusted by leading Australian pool filter manufacturers
- Used in domestic pools, aquatic centers, swim schools, and council pools worldwide
- Sourced from naturally occurring volcanic rock mined in Australia
Comparison to Silica Sand:
- 50% less backwashing
- 50% less water usage
- Filters down to 2 microns vs. sand's 15'20 microns
- Longer lifespan with minimal surface degradation over 15'20 years
- 75 kg of Zeolite equals the performance of 100 kg of sand
