Filter ball are made of 100% polyester fiber, in a network of interlaced strands that are manufactured to prevent the balls from fraying and releasing residues during use, while increasing lifespan.  Compared with sand, the filter ball has high filtration accuracy, good elasticity, no agglomeration, etc. And it is suitable for various filters. So, can fiber balls be backwashed?

Fiber balls can be backwashed!

Fiber balls are not as heavy as sand and are made of polyester, making them very light. 700g filter ball can replace 25kg sand. FilterBalls improves performance by offering almost no back pressure to the system. Filter system pressure is reduced, increasing flow, and increasing the life of your pump. Moreover, it is an independent small ball. Although it is very effective in adsorption, on the contrary, it is easier to clean than sand during backwashing.

Of course, the service life of the fiber ball is related to its own quality. When you find that the fiber ball you bought is very sparse, the ball breaks when you gently pull it.

Therefore, high-quality fiber balls can not only undergo repeated backwashing, but also have a long service life like sand and can be used for more than two years.
