Pool Filter Media Replacement Service

Over time, your pool’s filter media becomes less effective — no matter how well you maintain it. That’s where our Media Change service comes in. Poolcare offers professional filter media replacement for all pool types, including sand, glass, and AFM® (Activated Filter Media).

If your pool water seems harder to keep clear, or your filter is working overtime with less result, chances are your media is overdue for a change.

What Is Filter Media?

Filter media is the material inside your pool filter that traps dirt, debris, and fine particles. Most pools use:

  • Sand – the traditional and affordable choice

  • Glass media – a more efficient and longer-lasting alternative

  • AFM® – a premium, activated glass media offering superior filtration and reduced chlorine demand

Each has its own benefits, and we’re happy to advise on the best option for your setup.

Signs You May Need a Media Change

  • Water clarity is harder to maintain

  • Filter pressure rises quickly after cleaning

  • Regular backwashing doesn’t restore performance
