Viron Active Media
Glass filter media may look the same but Viron Active Glass Media has a negative electrical charge which conventional glass does not have. The negative charge applied during the manufacturing process lasts for the life of the media and attracts organic molecules improving the clarity of your pool water over sand or conventional glass. Reacting with chlorine or other sanitisers, the trapped organic material quickly oxidises and prevents the formation of film, bacteria and algae in the filter bed. The negative charge, called the Zeta Potential can be measured in millivolts and continues to work regardless of the pH of your pool water creating effective filtration at all times of the year.
