Swimming Pool Filter Sand – Product Overview

Our 25kg Swimming Pool Filter Sand is a high-quality 16/30 grade silica sand, specifically recommended for use in swimming pool sand filters. Carefully graded for optimal performance, it helps remove dirt, debris and impurities from pool water, ensuring clear, clean and hygienic swimming conditions.

Understanding 16/30 Grade Silica Sand

Particle Size and Performance

The 16/30 designation refers to a particle size range of approximately 0.5mm to 1.0mm This size range is ideal for swimming pool filters, allowing efficient filtration without excessive pressure drop or clogging.

High-Quality Filter Media

This silica sand is carefully washed, dried and graded to ensure consistent particle size, making it a reliable and long-lasting filtration media for swimming pool applications.

Maintenance and Replacement Recommendations

When to Change Filter Sand

We recommend replacing the sand in your swimming pool filter every 3–4 years. Over time, sand particles become rounded and less effective, reducing filtration efficiency.

Improved Water Quality and Reduced Chemical Use

Regularly changing your filter sand helps improve water quality, reduces strain on your filtration system and can lower overall chemical usage by maintaining better water clarity.
