Vitro-clear application rates
Sand Replacement:
40 lbs. of Vitro-Clear replaces 50 lbs. of sand. Determine the amount of Vitro-Clear you need by multiplying the amount of sand by 0.80.
Quantity of Vitro-Clear in a sand filter:
Pea gravel is recommended for all filters using than 200 lbs. of sand. Use enough pea gravel to cover filter laterals. For example:
- 300 lbs. filter requires 250 lbs. Vitro-Clear with pea gravel
- 500 lbs. filter requires 400 lbs. Vitro-Clear with pea gravel
(Amounts are rounded for convenience)
Filling Sand Filters with Vitro-Clear:
1. Determine the amount of media required for your filter based on the replacement ratios.
2. Empty filter and make any needed repairs. Check that the laterals in filter are in good condition.
3. Fill filter half-way with water.
4. Slowly pour pea gravel into filter to cover laterals. Add Vitro-Clear on top of pea gravel base.
5. Close filter and backwash until water is clear.
Frequency of Replacement:
Vitro-Clear lasts up to 50% longer than sand. Generally 7 to 10 years.
