Swimming Pool Filtration |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Natural zeolite is the new reference material for swimming pool filter media.
It is rapidly replacing sand as the product of choice for private and public
swimming pools, waterparks and spas. It is used in the same way as sand in the
same type of filter system giving superior performance and improved water quality. |
|
Natural zeolite has a highly porous structure and high specific surface area which means it can remove fine particles down to 10µm and below.
Sand filters will usually only remove particles as small as 50µm. Zeolite also has natural cation
exchange capacity which means it can remove dissolved ammonia from swimming pool water. Ammonia is
formed from urine and it reacts with chlorine products in the pool to form chloramines which
irritate bather's eyes and skin. |
|
Zeolite has a far greater filtration capacity than sand and requires less maintenance and fewer
backwashes. Water consumption is therefore significantly reduced and the use of zeolite also reduces
the amount of chlorine products needed for disinfection. Natural zeolite is therefore a more
environmentally friendly filter medium as well giving superior water quality. |
|
Our product Zeolita Natural AQUA is far superior to other zeolites
currently being offered on the market for swimming pool filters and was specifically
selected by ZeoCat for it's high quality. It is a hard zeolite which has been dried at 350ºC to fully activate
it's cation exchange capacity. |
|
It is available in various particle sizes and you can find out more information on our
Products page. For more information about using zeolites for swimming pool filtration,

information sheet in .pdf format. |
|
Zeolita Natural AQUA can be used for all types of water treatment applications,
not just swimming pool filtration. It is the best quality zeolite available for all water filtration applications. |
