Swimming Pool Filters

Swimming pool filters are used to remove debris and contaminants from the water, keeping it clean and clear for swimming. They work by circulating water through a filter media, which traps dirt, sand, algae, and other particles. This process also helps increase the effectiveness of pool chemicals like chlorine in killing bacteria and viruses. 

Here's a more detailed explanation:

  • Filtration Process:

A pump draws water from the pool into the filter, where the filter media (sand, cartridges, or diatomaceous earth) traps the debris. 

  • Clear Water:

Cleaned water is then returned to the pool through return jets, providing clear and safe swimming conditions. 

  • Enhanced Sanitation:

By removing particles and debris, filters reduce the load on pool chemicals, allowing them to work more effectively in killing bacteria and algae. 

  • Different Types:

There are three main types of pool filters: sand, cartridge, and diatomaceous earth (DE) filters, each with varying levels of filtration and maintenance requirements.
