Which specification of quartz sand is used for swimming pool filter sand tank

Quartz sand has many uses, and it is mainly filled in the sand tank in the form of filter material in swimming pool water treatment. The swimming pool sand tank is the most important component of the filtration system, which plays a role in purifying water quality. The quality of filtered water also mainly depends on the function of quartz sand, which can trap and absorb impurities in the water, so that the discharged water is clean and clear.

However, swimming pools have different specifications, and sand tanks also have different specifications. The specifications and quantities of quartz sand that need to be filled are naturally also different. So which specification of quartz sand is more suitable? Let's find out below.

Quartz sand is an essential filter material for swimming pool filtration, and it is also the filter material for its main function. The filter is to use special quartz sand to eliminate the tiny dirt in the pool. First, the swimming pool water is pumped into the sand tank by the water pump.

Microscopic dirt in the water is captured and filtered out by the sand bed. The filtered clean water passes through the control switch at the bottom of the filter and returns to the swimming pool through the pipeline. This is a set of continuous and automatic circulation process, which makes the swimming pool water get purified.

The quartz sand is closely arranged in the sand tank, and the pool water is from top to bottom. The solid suspended matter in the water is adsorbed and trapped by the quartz sand. At the same time, these trapped impurities overlap and bridge to form a thin film to continue to filter the water. Impurities. If the quartz sand is to be closely arranged, the specification should be smaller. This is so that it can be arranged tightly.

Has a good alignment effect. Generally, the most commonly used quartz sand specifications are 1-2mm, 2-4mm, and 4-8mm. It can be selected according to the size of the sand tank, or it can be mixed and arranged in layers, and the effect is also very good.

Generally, larger sand tanks will be mixed. The bottom layer will be filled with larger-grained quartz sand, while the upper layer will be filled with finer-grained quartz sand. In this way, they cooperate with each other to achieve the best filtering effect. If it is a small sand cylinder, it is enough to adapt to the smaller size of quartz sand.

In addition, the quartz sand does not need to fill the entire sand cylinder, only about 2/3 of the amount can be filled. Note that the sand tank should be backwashed every six months or a year to clean the sand tank and quartz sand and restore the filtering function.

Bigger is not always better when it comes to pool pumps. A pool pump that is too large can hinder filtration and can even damage a pool’s filter and/or heater. It is therefore very important to know the size of a pool before purchasing a pool pump. If there is additional equipment (such as water features) installed into the pool, it will have to be taken it into account when deciding what size pump is going to be purchased. The more equipment is installed into a pool, the more powerful the pump needs to be.
It is important to consult with a pool equipment expert, such as Poolking's Pumps, before buying a pool pump. The team at Poolking will be able to give our customers professional advice regarding the size of the pump they will need to purchase.

----It is best to replace the silica sand of sand filters every 1-2 years for the following reasons:
a During backwashing, the filtration bed volume will expand upwards by 1.2 to 1.3 times. The water flow will drive the filtration layer to flow up and down, causing the filtration material particles to collide with each other. Backwash will let the small sand evacuate.
b.Some silica sands will be welded when the acid and alkali are changed due to insufficient purity;
Therefore, the longer the time, the worse the filtering effect of the sand tank. Since backwashing will consume and take away some sand, we need to replace the sand in the sand tank within the specified period.

After about 5~10days ,or when the reading of the pressure gauge on the pump side of the filter has increased by about 0.2bars since the last backwash , backwash the filter as follows:
1. Stop the pump
2.Close the valves on the suction and return lines.
3.Open the cover of the pump and empty the filter gasket .
4.Refit the cover
5.Open the valve to the drain outlet
6.Turn the lever to BACKWASH
7. Open the valves to the suction and return lines.
8.Start the pump .Rinse the filter for about 1 to 2 minutes until the water in the sight glass is clear .
NOTE : Any electric heater must be off .
9. Stop the pump
10. Turn the lever to RINSE , start the pump and rinse for about 15~30 seconds. Stop the pump and turn the lever to FILTER . This is the normal operating position .
11. Close the drain outlet valve and start the pump . Switch on the electric heater if any .
a.Firstly you can tell me the pool size such as wide, length and depth.The circulation period is 4 hours,then we can use the pool volume divide by 4 to know the flow rate.Based on this we can know choose the suitable model for sand filter and pump.
b.Usually 4 meters can install a pool light.Both ends of the pool can install the ladders.
The basic filtration equipment can be chosen like above method.The other accessories can be fixed according to the using environment and requirement.
