I am glad to have decided on this granular media, I would definitely do it again. When filling in the filter tank, I realized that it does not dust, which means that the granulate is very clean. I had dispensed with for this reason also on first backwashing. When I had the last time the abgsaugt pool floor by my quartz sand filter was the fine dirt through the return (quite green) back into the pool. This prompted me to embark on this new path. When I the first time been sucked the ground again, ran absolutely no fine particles back into the pool. Even with the backwashing it is exactly as described, much shorter, about 3-4 minutes, then the water in the sight glass of the filter is clear again, briefly rinse and you're done. These granules can I only recommend the price, since I was a little skeptical, but everything really alright. Other providers charge almost double, only for the name? One thing I want to mention, because it is glass, I recommend it to anyone if they want to enter into long filter housing, not bare arm, otherwise it bites after a few hours as glass wool embarrassed. And one more thing, the water flow rate has also increased noticeably. Although after vacuuming of pressure compared to the quartz sand not noticeably increased and despite increased flow rate no dirt particles flow back into the pool, I found the result with the new filter granulate really stunning. Okey is opposite Qaurzsand expensive, but worth it, I do not regret it. It can be reported only benefits. One should also be mentioned, I run my pool only with rainwater, this is my cistern, the delight connected with the useful.
