Product overview efficiency fiber ball filter media designed to sand in sandstyle filtration systems. The hollow fiber balls capture fine sediment more effectively than sand while occupying far less space and weighing significantly less. Key benefits filtration: Fiber balls trap finer sediment than sand, improving clarity and reducing particulate carryover. Space saving: The hollow fiber design provides the same surface area as 100 pounds of sand while the media weighs only 3.1 pounds, allowing for a more compact media bed or higher effective surface area in the same tank. Lowmaintenance: Fiber balls rinse clean under a garden hose, eliminating the bulky sand cleanup when changing media. Longer lasting: Fiber media is more durable than sand and maintains filtration performance over the life of the media without frequent replacement. Important attributes Function: Mechanical filtration media for removing suspended solids and sediment. Material: Hollow fiber balls engineered for surface area and sediment capture. Size: Each fiber ball is smaller than a grain of sand, enabling dense packing and efficient filtration. Weight and capacity: Hollow design weighs 3.1 pounds while providing surface area equivalent to 100 pounds of sand. Compatibility: Intended as a replacement media for sandstyle filters and other systems that accept granular filter media. Check system dimensions and media requirements before retrofit. Practical applications Residential pools: sand in pool filter tanks to improve water clarity and reduce maintenance when changing media. Garden ponds and water features: Use in pumps and filter housings that accept sand to capture fine organic and inorganic particles. Small commercial filtration setups: Retrofit sand media in compact systems where space and weight savings are important. Installation and care Rinse fiber balls under a hose before use to remove any loose particles. Install as a direct replacement for sand media in compatible filter tanks following your system manufacturer guidelines. For cleaning, lift and rinse the media as needed; no heavy sand removal is required. This fiber ball media offers a practical alternative to sand by improving sediment capture, reducing media weight and bulk, and simplifying maintenance while fitting into sandcompatible filtration systems.
