POOL FILTER SAND CHANGE (USING ECO FIBRE) SIDE MOUNT PLASTIC FILTER
Switching your standard grey plastic sand filter with a side-mounted MPV (multiport valve) to ECO FIBRE introduces a revolutionary approach to pool filtration, combining efficiency, environmental sustainability, and significant cost savings. ECO FIBRE, crafted from virgin fibers through meticulous engineering processes, forms lightweight pads designed to replace traditional filter media. This innovative product not only elevates your pool’s filtration efficiency but also contributes to environmental conservation by being 100% recyclable at the end of its lifespan.
Signs Your Filter Sand Needs Changing
- Decreased Clarity: If your pool loses its sparkle and appears dull, it might indicate that debris is bypassing the sand and re-entering the pool, suggesting the sand is no longer effectively trapping particles.
- Extended Cleaning Times: Difficulty in regaining water clarity after backwashing and rinsing could signal an issue with the filter sand.
- Algae Growth: The appearance of algae shortly after cleaning may indicate either incorrect chlorine levels or a failing sand filter that needs replacement.
- Reduced Water Flow: Clogged sand or channeling within the filter can restrict water flow, affecting the efficiency of automatic pool cleaners and overall filtration.
- Cloudy Water: Worn sand grains create larger gaps, diminishing the sand’s ability to trap small particles and leading to cloudy pool water.
- Equipment Damage: Incorrect sand size can harm your filter and pool equipment, potentially necessitating costly replacements.
Frequency of Sand Replacement
It’s recommended to replace filter sand every 18 months to 2 years. Neglecting this can increase pressure within the filter, risking cracks that are irreparable and could lead to pump damage due to back pressure.
Benefits of Using ECO FIBRE in Your Pool Filter
- Exceptional Efficiency: 1kg of ECO FIBRE equals the filtering capacity of 40Kg of traditional sand, drastically reducing the need for heavy, cumbersome sand.
- Ease of Use: Installing ECO FIBRE is straightforward—simply remove the old sand, ensuring not to harm the filter fingers, and replace it with ECO FIBRE pads after cleaning the filter interior.
- Longevity: Depending on pool conditions and environmental factors, ECO FIBRE can last significantly longer between cleanings compared to traditional media, with maintenance recommended every 3 to 12 months.
- Environmental Impact: After its lifespan, ECO FIBRE can be completely recycled, re-entering the polyethylene cycle and reducing waste.
- Maintenance Simplicity: Cleaning ECO FIBRE involves removing the pads, rinsing them like a bath sponge in clean water, and then repositioning them in the filter—a straightforward and quick process.
Adopting ECO FIBRE not only benefits your pool’s clarity and filtration effectiveness but also offers substantial savings:
- Water Savings: The elimination of backwashing with ECO FIBRE saves approximately R56 per month, amounting to R2016 over three years, based on water costs of 0.0135c per litre.
- Electricity Savings: Reducing pump operation by 2 hours daily can save about R44 per month in electricity, totaling R1584 over three years, given the cost of electricity at 0.001c per Watt.
Total Savings
Switching to ECO FIBRE could result in combined water and electricity savings of approximately R3600 over three years. These savings are even more significant when considering the expected increases in utility rates.
