QwayHome 4.6lbs Pool Filter Balls, Reusable Filter Media Balls for Swimming Pool Sand Pump, Efficient Eco-Friendly Fiber Filter Balls, Pool Filter Sand Alternative, Equals 165lbs Filter Sand, Blue

These seem to do their job of filtering but when it is something very fine or even some kind of algae that looks like dust if you touch it in bottom of pool the se balls can not catch it. Have to still use some sort of mesh ecs that want let it just go through. Also there was no dye that bled from these being blue. I have to rinse them and or take them completely out and wash them in my washing machine periodically or my pool will stay dirty. When I put the clean ones back in everything works great again. I wish I had ordered 2 packs so I could always just exchange out when time to clean them.

Worked great! Barely had to vacuum my pool all summer, literally just two or three times! Washed them at the end of the season so don't know yet how well they will work next year after being washed. If they don't work as well, it would definitely be worth buying them every season as they kept my pool spotless all summer with hardly any vacuuming needed. I don't like to see any debris in my pool and to be this satisfied is saying a lot!

These are amazing and are the only way to go. Much better filtration than sand/media and nowhere near the amount of backwashing required. Using in an Intex filter on a 16x48 pool.

Upgraded our pump and decided to use these instead of sand. It was the best decision !! Pool has stayed blue all summer with just chlorine and vacuuming. Worth the money!

This pool balls were a complete and total failure. They DO NOT WORK!!!!! My pools is a disaster after switching to them. I have spent a ton of money in chemicals and changed back to sand to get my pool back to a clear, inviting pool. After about 10 days using them, my pool started getting really cloudy. We back-washed several times ( way more after than with the sand filter) and it did not work. The backwash water ran out clear. When we took the filter apart, the balls were disgusting - covered in a greenish sludge that would not wash of. They all went right into the garbage. I have spent many, many wasted hours to try to get these to work. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME - DO NOT BUY THIS GARBAGE!!!!!! SHOULD GET A NEGATIVE 10 STARS.

They worked great all season. Didn’t need to backwash. I washed the in the washer at the end of the season and they did come apart a little.

When I got my pool back in 2020 I used sand for my filter as instructions said Then following year I cleaned out that nasty sand and started using these filter balls and have been since They're easy to clean out of my filter tank each season and I replace them and work excellent The instructions on the balls say you can wash them and reuse them but they're not that expensive so I buy new ones each year I have a 18x33 above ground pool and buy 2 bags of these balls

The water we have where we live is well water and full if minerals and metals and it's hard to keep up the water clarity. Tried a sand filter this year and it helped a little better than the regular filters you get with above ground pools.i got a skimmer for the pool and the skimmer wouldn't work correctly while filtering I had to have the pool pump on circulate for it to work. So I saw these pool balls and put them instead of the sand. I can now use the skimmer while filtering because the balls give better flow than the sand. So between the skimmer and these little filter balls the clarity and cleanliness of the pool is amazing. This under 24 hours of using them. I usually don't leave reviews or feedback but this product definitely deserves it.
