NEW AND ADDITIONAL PRODUCTS FOR YOUR POOL AND SPA
ZeoSand® improves clarity, reduces Chloramines and REDUCES WATER USE!
Here is something new you might want to consider—ZeoSand® zeolite filter media. It provides DE-like clarity, is natural and safe, requires fewer backwashes and controls chloramines. ZeoSand® is a superior replacement product for the typical sand used in pool or spa water filters. And it costs much less than DE or cartridge filter media.
What Is ZeoSand® ?
ZeoSand® is a high purity natural zeolite that has a unique three dimensional honeycomb structure. Natural zeolites were formed millions of years ago by alkaline salt water altering volcanic ash. ZeoSand® is a clino type zeolite that has a huge surface area and a natural ammonium ion trapping capacity. The same natural zeolite in ZeoSand® is also used as a soil amendment and feed additive.
Why Does ZeoSand® Give Superior Clarity?
The sandpaper rough surface has 1 to 15 micron pore spaces that trap smaller particles than sand; thus, water clarity is improved. Typical sand only filters out particles ranging in size from 20-40 microns. ZeoSand® gets out particles as small as 2-5 microns. A cubic foot of ZeoSand® has the fur face area of 100 football fields – 100 times greater than sand. ZeoSand®'s huge surface area holds more dirt than sand; therefore, the time between backwashes can be increased.
How Does ZeoSand® Control Chloramines?
ZeoSand® traps and holds ammonium ions through a molecular sieving or water softening action. Sand does not trap ammonium ions. Less ammonia means reduced eye-burning chloramines. Since chloramines are lower, chemical shock treatments are not needed as often. A twenty five pound bag of ZeoSand® will trap about half a pound of ammonium ions.
How Is ZeoSand® Used?
Typically, one 25 pound bag of ZeoSand® replaces a 50 pound bag of sand. ZeoSand® weighs 55 pounds per cubic foot. Dynamic Pools and Spas would be happy to replace your filter sand with ZeoSand® during our next maintenance check. Or if you prefer, we can provide you with the ZeoSand® and you can do the job yourself!
How Long Does ZeoSand® Last?
Under normal conditions, ZeoSand® will need to be replaced about as often as sand. After filter use, ZeoSand® may be added to your garden or potted plants as a soil conditioner. ZeoSand® may be discarded as a non hazardous waste.
