Do You Know the Swimming Pool
Filters Types?
By John Collins 
Owning a swimming pool is not considered a luxury
anymore, as swimming pools have become more affordable over the last years and
more and more people are installing pools in their back yards. However, having
bought and installed the swimming pool is not enough. If you want to fully
enjoy it, you have to properly maintain it and having an efficient water filter
is one of the most important steps in this regard.
However, many people avoid buying a swimming pool
filter as they do not consider it necessary or they do not know what sort of
filter is most suitable for their own swimming pool.
When it comes to swimming pool filters, you should
know that there are three main types of filtration systems. These types are
filters are the sand filter, the cartridge filter and the diatomaceous earth
filter (also known as DE filter). These filters can and should be installed on
all types of pools, no matter if they are in ground swimming pools or above the
ground pools.
Each of the above filters has a different task and
they should be purchased for their characteristics.
The first type of swimming pool filters, the sand
filter, is supposed to remove any sand particles from reaching your pool and
they are effective in stopping particles 20 to 100 microns in size to reach
your swimming pool.
The cartridge swimming pool filter has a similar
method of functioning as your fridge or car purifier and it is effective in
removing particles 25 to 100 microns in size.
The DE filters are considered to be the most efficient
types of swimming pool filters, as they can stop even the smallest particles
from getting in your pool (DE filters are meant to stop debris 3 to 5 micros in
size).
Depending on the region you live in and the water's
characteristics, you may require one type of filter or another. In all
situations, DE filters provide you with the cleanest water possible, but they
are also the most expensive swimming pool filters.
All the swimming pool filters should be cleaned
regularly and the most frequent and recommended method of cleaning the filter
is backwashing them (reversing the water flow through the filter, all the
gathered debris will be drained away).
Having a swimming pool filter is vital if you want to
enjoy your pool and avoid any possible problems with impure water.
