• Universal compatibility: Ideal for most residential sand filters
• Convenient format: Packaged in a 50 lb bag for easy dosing
• High durability: Robust, low-degradation sand extends replacement cycles

Filter Sand #20 – 50 lb Bag is a calibrated silica filter media, grade #20, specially designed for residential pool sand filters. Thanks to its optimized grain size, this sand ensures efficient mechanical filtration by trapping impurities, debris, and suspended particles in the water — from leaves and algae to fine particles invisible to the naked eye.

#20 sand is particularly suitable as a replacement or initial filter media for most standard sand filters. Packaged in 50 lb bags, it allows for convenient and adjustable dosing based on the capacity of your filter tank. When filling, it is recommended to adhere to the sand level specified by the filter manufacturer to ensure optimal flow.

With proper maintenance (regular backwashing/re-washing), this filter sand can provide extended filtration cycles. The sand will need to be replaced when performance declines, generally every 5 to 7 years depending on usage.
