U.S. Pool Supply 1.5 lbs Pool Filter Balls - Eco-Friendly Fiber Filter Media for Swimming Pool Sand Filters (Equals 50lbs Pool Filter Sand) - Higher & More Efficient Water Filtration Sand Replacement

I wanted to wait to see how these filter balls would work and after almost a month, I can say I am very impressed! We've always used sand in our filter and without fail, we have to add a lot of chemicals, backwash once a week, and last summer, our pool was still was not crystal clear! Since swapping the sand out for the filter balls, we have not had a single issue! We haven't had to backwash once and we only have to run our pump a few hours a day to keep it crystal clear!

So far.. So good! Works great as an alternative w/Saluspa hot tub filters. Simply lightly pack ‘em in the filter cover %26 you're ready to go! Water is clearer than using the blue filters. Less likely to get the dreaded EO2 code! Pool filter balls are also washable, using a cheap zippers laundry bag, TSP %26 a slush of white vinegar. DO NOT USE any type of Soaps! 😊

. easy to use, work great

love this item and tye price is vreat

Ive read Great reviews on these pool balls for sand filters. Decided to give them a try this season.

The product worked perfectly I actually got these to make my own filter because the regular ones just wasn't doing what I wanted. So I I used these with great success very excited about next pool season

Lightweight beats the heck out of sand.

I've never even used the items we took our pool down so I don't know how to leave a rating on something I didn't use

Terrible, I couldn't get the name brand FilterBalls minis which usually kept my pool sparkling clean %26 clear. I decided to try these, HUGE mistake; I've been trying for two weeks to get my pool balanced %26 uncloudy. I finally decided it must be the filter media because I got all the levels fairly on the dot perfect but couldn't clear up the water no matter which product I used. I finally decided to get some sand since I couldn't find the other FilterBalls I normally use; when I swapped out the filter balls %26 sand the balls we're slimy, cloudy, had zero iron buildup (I am on well %26 the original FilterBalls are always brown %26 saturated in iron even after a few days) %26 soggy like wet clothes in a washing machine before the spin cycle; there is zero hydrophobic properties in this particular item. I am extremely disappointed that I wasted $60.00 on these particular FilterBalls.

Very inefficient, creates more maintenance than it resolves, the trade off less weight by far, but far less effective. You will fight to keep the water in proper balance, you will use significantly more water due to back wash's required and you can't use your pump as a vacuum, it will over load the filter and pass back into the pool. I don't recommend this product. I have used more shock, chlorine and ph balancer than I have in the 17 years I have had a pool. I am currently ordering sand to change out so I can properly close the pool and we did not have an opportunity to enjoy because of this snack oil product.
