Pool Filter Media

Zeolite Sand for Swimming Pool Filter Media

Zeo-Clear is an all-natural Zeolite granular pool filter media that improves water clarity. It is used as a direct replacement for common silica sand found in many pool filters.

Zeolite as Pool Filter Media

Beneftis of Zeolite with Pool Filtration

  • Improves Water Clarity
  • Traps particles and ammonium ions that
  • cause eye burning chloramines
  • Reduces need for chemical shock treatments
  • All natural
  • Improves filtration

Zeolite Pool Filtration Directions

  1. Rinse and Clean filter tank, always remove and inspect laterals at this point to prevent damaged laterals from allowing media to enter your pool
  2. Fill 1/3 of filter tank with water, this step is important to protect laterals from damage while filling with Zeolite
  3. Install pea gravel or chat to top of the laterals (see chart below)
  4. Determine the amount of Zeo-clear needed (note: 50 lbs of Zeo-Clear equals 100lbs of sand in volume, 25 lbs equals 50 lbs in volume)
  5. Fill the tank with the required amount of Zeo-Clear
  6. Return distributor or stand-pipe to the proper position. Check air vent tube and exterior piping for proper operation and cleanliness.
  7. Start filter in backwash mode to remove dust from media, backwash until water is clear. Turn off the filter pump and allow media to settle. Repeat backwash and rinse cycles 2 or more times.

    Special Note

    Zeolite filter media may require up to 3 times more initial backwashing than regular pool filter sand, take extra care at this step to prevent future issues with cloudiness caused by ultra-fine particles.
