BENEFITS of Crushed Glass

Higher Filtration power (filtration level) than sand and improves water clarity.
Reduction of back-wash times and quantity
May reduce chlorine and algaecide consumption. Glass stays clean in the filter and there is no algae formed in the filter
Since Glass is lighter (less dense) than sand, a smaller quantity is required to fill the filter. 42lb of glass replaces 50lb of sand
In many cases Glass has been know to remain effective up to 10 years compared to 2 to 3 years with sand.leaning equipment
