Key Features & Benefits
The Filter Media Sand Gravel is specifically selected to act as a support layer under the filter sand in your pool filter. This coarse gravel helps protect the under‑drain system, prevents sand from entering lateral pipes, and maintains even water distribution across the entire sand filter media bed.
When used correctly, this gravel layer contributes to smoother backwashing and more consistent water flow through the sand filter. This supports the overall water filtration system by reducing the risk of clogging and channeling, which helps keep your pool water clearer and the filtration process more efficient.
The 40kg bag format makes it simple to dose the correct amount of gravel for most residential and small commercial sand filter tanks. Simply follow the manufacturer’s recommended thickness for the gravel layer, pour it into the bottom of the filter tank, and then add the main sand media on top to complete your pool filter setup.
By using a proper support layer of Filter Media Sand Gravel, you help protect internal components like laterals and standpipes from wear. This can extend the life of your pool filter, reduce the frequency of repairs, and keep your water filtration system running smoothly over time.
Usage Tips
- Use this gravel as the bottom layer in your sand filter before adding the main sand media.
- Follow the filter manufacturer’s instructions for recommended gravel thickness and total fill volume.
- After filling, backwash the sand filter gently to settle the layers and remove any loose dust.
Care & Storage Instructions
- Store the 40kg bag in a dry, covered area to avoid moisture absorption or contamination of the filter media.
- Keep the gravel away from dirt, leaves, and fine debris before installation to preserve its filtration quality.
- Once installed, maintain regular backwashing and inspection routines to keep both gravel and sand media in optimal condition for the water filtration system.
- Use Filter Media Sand Gravel 40kg as the base layer in your pool filter to enhance the performance of your sand filter and water filtration system. This simple, yet essential pool filter media helps you achieve cleaner, clearer water and more reliable filtration all season long.
