Questions about this service
How often should sand filter media be replaced?
Standard silica sand should be renewed every 3 to 5 years. Glass media lasts roughly 8 to 10 years before needing replacement.
Should I choose standard sand or activated glass?
Glass media costs slightly more upfront, but it filters finer particles, resists bacterial contamination, and uses less water to backwash.
Do you remove the old dirty sand from my property?
Yes, we bag the spent media and take it with us so you are not left with sacks of wet sand on your driveway.
How our pool visits work
- 1Media extractionWe unbolt the top valve assembly and vacuum out the old, hardened media without damaging internal manifolds.
- 2Lateral finger checkWe inspect the delicate bottom distributor laterals; broken laterals leak sand directly into the pool.
- 3Media reloadingWe cushion the tank base with clean water and slowly pour in graded sand or recycled activated glass.
- 4Backwash and rinseWe run a thorough backwash sequence to clear dust, test system operating pressure, and inspect seals.
Why pool owners trust ClearCrest
Fresh sand or active glass media to restore water clarity and reduce chemical use.
Crisp, sparkling water
Fresh glass media filters down to microscopic debris sizes, removing persistent cloudiness within hours.
Lowers sanitiser consumption
Old sand gets choked with organic matter that eats up chlorine; clean media allows sanitisers to work efficiently.
Stops sand in your pool
We catch cracked laterals before they spill abrasive grit across your pool liner and into pump impellers.
Our Clarity Promise
If you notice anything amiss after our visit, or if your water balance drifts within 48 hours, contact us immediately. We will return to your pool, re-test the chemistry, and correct the issue at our own expense without hesitation. Pricing & payment
