Filtration is one of the most important factors in the circulation system of your pool to keeping it clean. There are three types of swimming pool filters available for pool owners. Sand filters, Cartridge filters and DE Filters. It is important to know which filter you have on your pool and how to maintain and operate it.
Filters help to maintain the purity of the pool. Large and round shaped filters are available in three different types- Sand, Cartridge and Diatomaceous Earth (DE). But which is the most appropriate for which pool? There are different sizes and different brands to choose from.
Most users prefer sand filters as they have a record of removing nearly 40 % microns of the debris. Anything less than that is not possible to remove by any filter medium. The sand filter is also called as ‘bullet proof filter’. They can be cleaned weekly, during swimming season. The maintenance work is referred as ‘backwashing’. The clean water flows and the wastewater is dumped.
Swimming Pool Cartridge filters have paper-type cartridge. Some users find it difficult to maintain and are not as efficient as sand filters. Some manufacturers have enhanced the capability and they can be used as better filtering mediums. They can be used for at least five years. Prepared from polyester like material, they perform excellent filtering process, by holding the impure material until cleaned or replaced.
