Swimming Pool Filter Sand
High Quality Silica Sand
Filter Sand, is a high-quality, eco-friendly, and versatile product. Predominantly composed of quartz (SiO2), it exhibits a crystalline structure that's renowned for its hardness and resistance to weathering.
Our filter sand is an ideal choice for swimming pool filtration systems, stands as a testament to quality and efficiency. The intricate crystalline structure of Silica Sand adds to its filtration efficiency, enabling it to filter impurities from pool water effectively, thereby ensuring sparkling clean and clear water.
#20 Mesh
#20 grade of sand is characterized by its specific size range, with individual sand grains typically measuring between 0.45mm and 0.55mm.
#30 Mesh
#30 grade silica sand typically measure between 0.6mm and 0.425mm, which is slightly smaller than #20 grade sand.
Construction Sand VS Silica Sand
Why do we discourage the use of ordinary sand as your filter sand? Ordinary sand also known as manufactured sand, construction sand or bistay sand (if you are from the Philippines) is a grey colored sand, it is an artificial sand produced from crushing hard stones into small sand sized angular shaped particles, washed and finely graded to be used as construction aggregate. It has a low silica content and never meant to be used as filter sand.
The natural silica filtration grade sands have a sub-angular to rounded shape, making them an ideal filtration media to capture suspended solids in water. Due to the high silica content, the sand is extremely durable and hard-wearing, allowing it to be precisely graded to facilitate efficient filtering.
