One of the essential tools that will assist you with keeping your swimming pool
clean is the filter. It is worth it to invest in a very good one to help you keep things
as clean as possible. If the filtering system isn’t up to par you will find it very
difficult to enjoy your swimming pool. You may find you are spending more time
cleaning it than enjoying being in it. That isn’t what any homeowner had
envisioned when they decided to buy a swimming pool.
Hopefully you got a great swimming pool filter when you purchased the set up. If
not, you aren’t destined to suffering for it though. These filters come in all sizes so
you will need to find out which size you need for your swimming pool. You will
also need to know the basics of the three types of filters offered. That way you can
make a well informed decision about which one is going to serve your needs the
most.
While you can consult with the dealer for the swimming pool supplies, keep in
mind that they are going to try to sell you what they want to promote. So having
some basic facts about the types of filters is going to be in your favor. That way
you can tell them what you are looking for instead of asking them what they
recommend.
All swimming pool filters belong to one of three categories – sand, cartridge, and
Diatomaceous Earth commonly referred to as DE. With a sand swimming pool
filter the water gets pushed through sand to remove debris from it. There are tubes
at the bottom of the filter that bring the water in and out.
This process will result in the water that is dirty being pushed down while clean
water is pushed upwards. You do need to check a sand filter often though to make
sure there isn’t a build up of debris. When that occurs the water won’t be pushed
in at the same rate as it should. Therefore you will find that there is dirty water all
over instead of just at the bottom of the swimming pool.

2. While this type of filtering system is inexpensive, it isn’t always the best method.
This is because the filter doesn’t always get all the debris out of the water. Some
decent sized pieces can find their way back into the pool. A better alternative for
you may be the cartridge pool filter. This works with a type of cartridge encased in
a cylinder. This cartridge is what grabs and holds onto the debris that is collected.
They are able to filter large amounts of water in less time than with a sand filter.
They also don’t have to be cleaned as often because they can hold more debris. So
if you are looking for a way to clean your pool and cut down on the time you
spend on such tasks this could work well for you.
You should clean them out once a month when you are using your swimming pool
on a regular basis. You can take out the cartridge and gently wash it with water.
Don’t use high pressure on it though as that can result in it being torn and
damaged. You should inspect the cartridge each time you clean it out. Replace it
when it starts to show signs of wear. Many swimming pool owners are able to use
the same one for six months to a year before replacing it.
The DE swimming pool filter is more complex but it also works the best. It
involves tiny diatoms being active inside of the filter to collect dirt and debris.
This process is able to get rid of even the finest grains of dirt which means your
pool will be the cleanest it possibly can.
You will have to watch the pressure gauge so that you can complete the backwash
process for this type of pool filter as well. While these types of filters are the most
expensive those consumers with them don’t seem to have any complaints about
how well they work.
