How Our Visits Work
-
1
Isolation and Diagnostic Run
We run the equipment under load to check operating pressure, pump sound, and pinpoint micro leaks around union joints.
-
2
Filter Extraction and Lateral Check
We extract old, clumped sand using an industrial wet vacuum and inspect bottom lateral fingers for hairline cracks.
-
3
Refilling with Glass Media
We fill the filter vessel with graded AFM activated glass media, ensuring lateral fingers are bedded safely without damage.
-
4
System Commissioning and Testing
We reassemble all unions with silicone lubricant, backwash the fresh media, and test normal running pressure.
Why Homeowners Rely On Us
Sharper Water Clarity
Activated glass media filters particles down to fine microns without channeling or harbouring bacterial film.
Reduced Pump Strain
Free-flowing, clean filter media lowers internal head pressure, easing electrical draw and cooling the pump motor.
No More Sand in the Pool
Replacing brittle broken laterals during media changes stops filter sand blowing through return jets into your pool basin.
Questions about this service
How often does swimming pool filter sand need replacing?
Standard silica sand degrades and rounds off after five to six years. Glass media lasts roughly double that period.
Do you take the old contaminated sand away?
Yes, we bag up the spent sand and take it off your property for proper disposal as part of the media service.
Can you repair a dripping pipe joint on the same day?
We carry standard pressure-rated metric and imperial PVC fittings, solvent cement, and unions on the van for immediate repairs.
