It’s incredibly effective at capturing fine particles, which has noticeably improved my pool's water clarity. Even during peak usage, the water remains crystal clear.Ease of Installation: 4.5/5Replacing the sand with this lightweight media was straightforward and much less labor-intensive than I expected. The media is light enough to handle easily, and it’s simple to measure the right amount.

This is a big win for anyone looking to cut down on maintenance efforts.Durability: 5/5Unlike sand, which degrades over time, the Clear Blue Luster media is reusable and long-lasting. This means fewer replacements and more consistent performance over several seasons.Value: 4.5/5Although it’s more expensive upfront than sand, the durability and efficiency make it a cost-effective investment in the long run.

I've been servicing pools for almost 30 years and this product perks my intersest. I've serviced many sand filters with sand, glass and zeolite. I'll be putting this product into my own pool sand filter to try it out. I think it will filter well.Update;Used in my personal pool for 8 months and removed it for inspection. I did not backwash before removing the balls so I could evaluate buildup. Balls were somewhat dirty, probably could have filtered a few more months. I put them back in the filter and backwashed. I again inspected the balls and they did look cleaner but I’m sure they won’t look new again. I removed the balls with my 16 gallon shop vac after draining off the water. These balls do drain well and after draining they just feel moist not wet. I’m impressed so far. Water is sparkling. Ad mentions that clarifiers should not be used with this product. I would recommend a product called SeaClear to help with clarity if necessary. SeaClear works differently than petroleum based clarifiers so I think it’s safe to use here. I haven’t needed to use anything other than standard pool chemicals. Other negative reviews about backwashing will be taken into consideration in my ongoing evaluation.Update 2:These probably do not backwash well. I would think that having to shop vac out the balls and run them through a commercial washing machine every 6 months or a year would get to be quite a pain. So unless you like putting in the time to do that then these balls would not be a good choice. The absolute best media for sand filters is the crushed glass product with the glass pebbles used as pea gravel. Glass “sand†lasts a recommended 10 years compared to 5 years for silica sand. Glass media backwashes faster and cleaner than sand. The glass media does cost more but lasts twice as long, filters better, backwashes better and is NOT hazardous like silica sand.
