Glass filter media is an innovative filtration material made from recycled glass that has been processed to ensure high performance. Used in swimming pools, aquariums, and water treatment systems to deliver superior water quality. Compared to traditional sand filters, glass media offers increased efficiency, better longevity, and environmental sustainability.

Glass filter media is crafted from carefully processed recycled glass, resulting in a sub-angular, negatively charged surface that effectively attracts and traps impurities. Its advanced design allows for the filtration of particles as small as 5 microns, offering superior clarity compared to conventional sand filters.

STEP ONE

COLLECTION + SORTING

The first step is to collect glass, which is provided by The Waste Trade Company. The Glass Filter Media is manufactured from pure, unused, predominantly clear plate glass.

STEP TWO

CLEANING + CRUSHING

Once sorted, the car windshields undergo thorough cleaning to remove any contaminants or impurities. After cleaning, the glass is crushed into small pieces, creating glass cullet.The glass cullet is further ground into fine particles to achieve the desired size and shape for the filter media. The glass particles are then sieved to ensure uniformity in size.

STEP THREE

QUALITY + PACKAGING

Once the glass filter media passes quality control, it is packaged into appropriate containers for distribution and sent to swimming pool equipment suppliers and other relevant industries for use in filtration systems.
