Commercial Pool Filter Media Supply

Commercial Filter Media Requirements

Commercial swimming pools and aquatic facilities typically operate larger filtration systems than residential pools. A filter media change at a commercial facility may require significantly more product than a residential job.

Planning a commercial filter media requirement starts with identifying the filtration equipment installed at the facility.

Identifying Your Filtration Equipment

Before requesting commercial pricing, identify the filter manufacturer and model installed at the facility. The filter manufacturer's specifications will determine:

• The media grade required (fine, coarse or both)
• The quantity of each grade required
• Any specific media requirements for that filter

Media requirements vary by filter manufacturer and model. Always refer to the filter manufacturer's specifications when determining compatibility, media grade and required quantity. Do not estimate quantities without consulting the manufacturer's documentation.

Fine and Coarse Media Requirements

Most commercial filtration systems that use glass media require both fine and coarse grades:

Fine glass filter media (0.2–0.5 mm) — the filtration layer.

Coarse glass filter media (1.0–2.0 mm) — the supporting layer.

The quantity of each grade depends on the specific filter. Refer to the filter manufacturer's specifications for the correct quantities and layering requirements.

Estimating Total Quantity

Once you have identified the media requirements for each filter at the facility, calculate the total quantity required across all filters.

For facilities with multiple filter vessels, multiply the per-vessel requirement by the number of vessels. Provide this estimate when requesting commercial pricing.

If you are managing a programme of filter media changes across multiple facilities, provide an estimate of your total annual volume.
