Stop using sand in your filter! Easier to use, cleaner to change, better filtration!

Replace the sand in your new or existing sand filter with Filtra Balls Filter Media and experience the difference! Reusable, eco-friendly and made from 100% polyethylene, these tiny balls will last for years while filtering particles down to 3 microns. 1 box of Filtra Balls is equivalent to 50 pounds of normal filter sand!

Note: Is it recommended that you still add some sand (approx. 1 bag) to the bottom of your filter tank, prior to adding Filtra Balls, in order to support the filter laterals.

Instructions for Use - Must Read Before Using Product:

  1. Power down the pump, and open your filter tank
  2. Empty any existing media and/or sand from the tank and clean the tank thoroughly
  3. Add sand to the bottom of your filter tank - this is used to support the filters laterals (the amount of sand will vary based on your filter size, but generally, one bag of sand is suggested). Ensure your filter’s laterals are completely covered.
  4. Fill the rest of the filter with Filtra Balls Filter Media; 1 Box is the equivalent of adding 50 lbs of sand
  5. Close your filter tank
  6. Power on your pump and begin filtering again!

It is recommended you open your filter tank and rinse / clean off your Filtra Balls once per month to ensure they continue to filter properly - backwashing may not fully remove debris from Filtra Balls. Do not use clarifier products in your pool while using Filtra Media Balls, as doing so can ruin the media.

Great product

Works great. Been using them for 3 years. Easier to replace them every year rather than clean them.

Thank you so much for your review, we are so glad that you are happy with this product

Great product work well

So far they seem to be working great. I kept 8 to put on my skimmer basket when I open the pool and within the first 24hrs the pool was crystal clear. The balls in the skimmer also trapped alot of of dirt (they were actually black).

Not Bad, But Nothing To Compare

I got these in my pool kit. I've never used sand before so I have nothing to compare to. It seemed like they were doing a good job. Backwashing doesn't seem to do much. Removing the balls and washing them worked great. I started without any sand in the filter and it seemed to work ok, later in the season, I added a little bit of sand as instructed above.
