Zeolite - the mineral that helps ensure flawless filtration of pool water

Zeolite was formed millions of years ago as a result of volcanic activity. Carried by the wind, volcanic ash was deposited on the earth's surface and formed thick layers. In some cases, volcanic ash fell on water bodies or water penetrated volcanic deposits. In both cases, the interaction between volcanic ash and sodium-containing water led to the formation of zeolite.

Used as a filler for sand filters, zeolite improves the performance of the filter system. Thanks to its large filtration area, which is dozens of times larger than that of quartz sand, zeolite captures even the smallest contaminants. This achieves a much finer filtration.

Thanks to its ability to remove ammonia contained in water, zeolite reduces the use of chlorine and prevents the formation of chloramines. Chloramines are formed as a result of the interaction between chlorine and ammonia. The result of this reaction is the unpleasant smell of chlorine that can be felt around some swimming pools.
