Clean, clear swimming pool water starts inside your filter.
Silica Pool Filter Sand 40kg is a high-quality, graded filtration media designed specifically for sand filter systems. It traps dirt, debris, and fine particles as water passes through your filter — keeping your pool water crystal clear and properly balanced.
If your pool water is cloudy or your filter isn’t performing like it used to, worn or contaminated sand could be the reason.
Why Use Properly Graded Silica Sand?
Not all sand is equal. Pool filter sand must be:
- Correctly graded for optimal filtration: 0.6mm to 1.5mm
- Washed and dust-free
- Durable and long-lasting
- Suitable for high water flow rates
This 40kg bag of silica pool filter sand meets filtration requirements for residential and commercial sand filter systems.
Key Benefits
Effective Dirt Removal
Captures suspended particles as water flows through the filter tank.
Reliable Filtration Performance
Maintains consistent water clarity when used in properly maintained sand filters.
Durable & Long-Lasting
Designed to withstand continuous backwashing cycles.
Compatible with Most Sand Filters
Suitable for standard swimming pool sand filter systems.
When to Replace Pool Filter Sand
Filter sand typically needs replacement every 3 to 5 years, depending on usage and maintenance.
Signs your sand may need replacing:
- Persistent cloudy water
- Short filter cycles
- High filter pressure
- Sand returning to the pool (replacement of broken sandfilter fingers might also be required)
Old sand loses its sharp edges over time, reducing filtration efficiency.
How It Works
As pool water passes through the sand bed inside the filter tank:
- Dirt and debris become trapped between sand particles
- Clean water flows back to the pool
- Backwashing removes trapped contaminants
Maintaining clean, correctly graded sand ensures optimal performance.
Ideal For
- Residential swimming pools
- Commercial pool systems
- New sand filter installations
- Replacing old or contaminated filter media
Strong Filtration Starts Here
Your filter is only as effective as the media inside it. Replacing old sand with fresh silica pool filter sand restores proper filtration performance and helps maintain clear, healthy swimming pool water.
Replace on time. Maintain properly. Swim in clear water.
