Swimming Pool Filters

Swimming pool filters are one of the most important pieces of swimming pool equipment you own. Swimming pool filters remove dirt and debris from the pool. There are three types of pool filters on the market today, sand, cartridge and DE filters. Regardless of the type of filter they all work the same by trapping the contaminants in the filter media.? Removal of the contaminants helps reduces algae.

Choosing the right filter is not hard; it is based on personal preference, cost and geographical area.? In very general terms, Cartridge filters are the least expensive to buy, ongoing costs include the cost of a replacing the cartridge every 2-4 years.? DE filters are the most expensive to buy, ongoing cost include purchasing DE powder each time you recharge the filter.? Sand filters are intermediate to cost and the least expensive to maintain.

In order to determine the correct filter size, you start with the number of gallons in the pool; the goal is to have one turnover of pool water in 6-8 hours.? ?Divide the total gallons by 6 or 8, then divide by 60, giving you the number of gallons per minute. Select a filter that has this capacity or larger, larger filters offer longer times between cleanings.? Finally make sure the pump is capable of delivering the required number of gallons
