ECO-GLASS-FILTER-MEDIA is an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional silica sand. The media is made from glass recycled in the UK and therefore doesn’t involve the intrusive mining and use of a scarce resource. Going “green” however is no longer cost prohibitive and EGFM is comparable to the price of silica sand whilst improving performance and conserving natural resources
DesoPur® A patented TCDO/chlorine dioxide treatment breaks up compacted filter beds, this oxidises body fats & bio films, responsible for Legionella proliferation and Pseudomonas contamination in spa pools, restoring silica sand to its original condition.
