Made from 100% polyester fiber and supplied with a laundry net, the set is designed for quick installation, easy cleaning and long-term reuse. They are suitable for swimming pools, hot tubs, aquariums and other water filtration setups that accept loose media.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these filter balls improve my pool’s water clarity?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dense polyester fibers capture smaller particles than typical silica sand, so the pool circulates cleaner water between cleanings.
