Sand and DE pool filter media can be used under or around pavers but shouldn’t be used in gardens. Sand you can’t reuse might need to go to a landfill, or a service can pick it up. Glass media can be cleaned and put back into the filter. However, a small amount of glass is lost during each cleaning, so you may periodically need to add glass media to maintain filtration.

Some flushable wipes companies say they are designed to disintegrate within a few hours to a few days after being flushed. These wipes allegedly use materials that are more water-soluble than traditional wipes. However, many experts have raised concerns that even so-called "flushable" wipes do not break down as easily as claimed and can contribute to clogs and blockages in sewer systems.

To prevent plumbing and sewer problems, avoid flushing wipes, even those labeled as flushable. Instead, dispose of them in the trash. This can help prevent costly plumbing issues and reduce the strain on wastewater treatment systems.
