3 Types of Pool Filters
Pool filters remove contaminants which exist on the scale of microns or one-millionths of a meter. Since these pollutants are in microscopic size, do pool filters really have the capacity to trap them? Read on to find out.
1. Sand FiltersThe total filtration area of a sand filter equals the filter itself. As water flows past the filter sand, the contaminants are trapped within the sand filter media while clean water exits the outlet port of the filter. Once the filter is clogged with dirt and debris, water pressure drops leading to a low flow rate. To clean the sand filter media, water is pushed in the reverse direction (referred to as ‘backwashing’). Then, the filter is shifted to ‘rinse’ mode to prepare it for the next water filtration cycle. |

2. Cartridge FiltersCartridge filters are efficient, effective, and easy to maintain for small- to medium-sized pools. Within a tank, a plastic cylinder is encircled by a polyester filter fabric and is capped on both ends. Water flows into the tank and past the filter. Particles as tiny as 10 microns are efficiently filtered. To clean the filter, remove the cartridge and wash out the accumulated debris. |

3. Diatomaceous Earth or D.E. filtersThis is the most costly, high-maintenance pool filtration system (yet the most efficient in decontaminating pool water). The total filtration area is between that of a sand filter and cartridge filter. |

How to Choose the Right Filter for Your Pool
To choose the right filter, begin with:
- Determine the size of the pool—length, width, and depth.
- Determine the maximum and minimum water flow rate.
- Evaluating the manufacturer’s specifications if the maximum flow rate suits the capacity of the pump in your pool.
- Opting for the largest pool filter that your pump and pool area can easily accommodate. It will reduce the clogging rate and maintenance time.
