HELP REDUCE LANDFILL & GREENHOUSE GAS
Replace Pool Sand WIth A Sustainable Alternative
CLEAN, CLEAR, WATER RESULTS
American research first compared the performance of glass media with filter sand. Tests established glass media is highly efficient at cleaning water. Scientists found recycled glass clearly:
- reduces power consumption
- requires fewer chemicals
- uses less water
In addition, the UK Government engaged WRAP to conduct independent research. You can download a 66-page detailed report by WRAP. This report, freely available on the internet, contains results of extensive tests directly comparing sand with glass media.

The WRAP trials confirm recycled glass media like DURAFILTER is perfect for water filtration and produces power & water savings. As a result, public specifications (PAS102) were developed for the commercial use of recycled glass as a filtration media.
