How long do pool Fiber Balls last?
Generally speaking, these balls have a lifespan of between one and two years, depending on several factors:
Water quality: Better water quality means longer filter balls. Poorer water quality and higher levels of impurities will shorten the lifespan of the filter balls.
Frequency of use: A pool that is used more frequently puts more stress on the filtration system, shortening the lifespan of the filter balls.
Maintenance: Regular cleaning and proper maintenance can extend the lifespan of the filter balls.
When should Fiber Balls be replaced?
While filter balls can theoretically last one to two years, the actual replacement time depends on individual circumstances.
Here are some criteria for determining when to replace filter balls:
Deteriorating water quality: If you notice your pool water becoming cloudy or developing an unpleasant odor, it may be time to replace the filter balls.
Appearance changes: If the filter balls change color, become deformed, or become slimy, they may be saturated and no longer filtering effectively.
Increased cleaning frequency: If you need to clean the filter balls more frequently, it's a sign that they need to be replaced.
