Pratley Clinobrite Filter Medium

Unlike standard silica sand, which acts only as a mechanical filter, Clinobrite is a natural zeolite mineral. Its cationic properties allow it to actively absorb ammonia and heavy metals from the water, providing a chemical filtration layer that sand cannot offer.

Yes. By absorbing ammonia, Clinobrite prevents the formation of chloramines, which are the primary cause of that sharp 'chlorine' smell and eye irritation. This leads to a more pleasant swimming experience and reduces the amount of chlorine you need to add.

Clinobrite can be regenerated by backwashing the filter with a salt solution. This process releases the captured ammonia and heavy metals, allowing the zeolite to regain its absorption capacity for continued use.

Yes, Clinobrite is designed as a direct replacement for standard filter sand. You can simply swap out your current media for the 25kg bags of Clinobrite during your next scheduled filter maintenance.

Because Clinobrite is regenerable, it lasts significantly longer than traditional sand. With proper backwashing and occasional regeneration, you can expect a much longer service life before the medium eventually needs to be fully replaced.
