How does it work?
It’s angular to sub-angular particle shape provides a 30% improvement in turbidity removal over silica sand. It’s non-porous composition means its less likely to clump or channel than silica sand. less susceptible to bio-fouling as unlike silica sand, EGFM’s particles have a smooth surface area, so bacteria can’t get trapped in any cracks or flaws. This translates to less remedial action and again less chemical treatment to kill pollutants.

PLEASE NOTE: orders for multiple bags of glass media will often be delivered using a pallet service. This would mean that you would need to be sure that your delivery address has access to receive a large delivery vehicle. Also, this delivery service is a ‘curb side’ service, so you may need to make further arrangements to get the goods to the desired position at the delivery location.

Enviro Glass Filter Media (EGFM) is environmental glass filter media to be used instead of sand. It gives superior cleaning and allows for 50% less water lost when backwashing. In theory it wouldn’t need changing as it doesn’t wear down like sand although we still recommend a change every 5 years plus you use 15% less of it, the perfect media!

Quick guide: Use Grade 1 in place of the silica sand (less 15%) and Grade 3 in place of the pea gravel recommendations as per your manufacturer’s guide.
