Sand filtration is one of the methods used to maintain clear, clean, and healthy water in many of these pools. Sand is the Earth’s natural way of cleaning and purifying water. Sand filters are used on pool filtration systems because they are capable of filtering large volumes of water. Sand for these filters is mined from the earth, and after about five years of use, the sand is returned to the Earth.

The only downside of using sand filtration on swimming pools is that large amounts of water are wasted while cleaning the sand to allow optimum efficiency for the filter cycle.

Backwashing is usually performed on a weekly basis to discard unwanted particles and trash the filter has collected the previous week. Most residential swimming pools waste between 150-200 gallons of water to clean the filter one time. The Envir-o-Wise backwash reclamation unit solves the wasted water problem that millions of swimming pools create today by reusing the water used in the filtration process.
