Why choose OPTIMAX filter balls?

Poolex OPTIMAX filter balls offer superior filtration performance thanks to their technical fiber structure capable of capturing the finest particles, down to 3 microns. The result: clearer, more crystalline water more quickly, with much greater efficiency than traditional sand.

Ultra-light, 700g is enough to replace 25kg of sand, which considerably facilitates installation and handling. No more heavy loads, dust, and constraints related to filter filling: replacing sand becomes simple, clean, and fast.

They also allow for water and energy savings: fewer backwashes, better water circulation in the tank, and reduced pump electricity consumption. Their consistent performance ensures optimal durability throughout the seasons.

In terms of maintenance, nothing could be more practical: the balls can be rinsed with clear water or machine washed (in a net, at low temperature). Reusable, they retain their effectiveness over time.

Finally, made from recyclable material, they constitute a more sustainable and eco-responsible solution than traditional filter media, while guaranteeing ideal ease of use for the regular maintenance of your pool.
