sometime Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Time to renew the sand in my filter, but the problem is the silica sand, all the pool shops want to sell me is sea sand or river sand, or the usual no have. I could order online but the transport cost are far too expensive Anyone know a shop in Pattaya/Najomtien that has silica sand for sure.

Bagwain Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 About the same price as "Eco Clear" I do for 1,000 baht p/20 kg. Not include labour! You need 80 % of the kg's of sand. Last 15 yrs & far the best on the market, silica sand 5 yrs. It is the only media I use!! Don't be confused with recycled bottle glass. This is recycled plate glass!

SantiSuk Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 SPT's Eco Clear is described as bottle glass rather than plate glass and Bagwain is apparently claiming that plate glass is superior. I don't know whether it is or not, as I'm quite happy using silica sand. [When it comes to the debate between Eco Clear and silica sand, if you know you are going to be using your pool for the 15 years of Eco Clear's usable life then I'm sure it makes sense not to use silica sand (particularly as I find it necessary to replace silica sand every 3 years not 5) and if the claims for reduced backwashing volume/time (made on SPT's site) holds up then that further tips the value equation between Eco Clear and silica sand in favour of the former].

Thank you SantiSk. Sometimes trying to understand someones thinking is trying to smell the colour 9! The brocher I supplied says it all. I had a friend who went down this route (To save beer money), only to find out I was right & he wasted his money & time. Let the OP find out the hard way. I make pittance out of it, so I am not interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you are not interested why bother posting in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
