Types of Swimming Pool Filter and Pool Maintenance - Update 1.11.09 There are few things that will ruin your swimming pool faster than dirty water. Not only that but swimming in it will very quickly become too horrible to contemplate. Anyone with a swimming pool of his or her own will tell you that keeping it clean is a constant battle. But that is only half the story. What about the dirt you cannot see? The dirt that is not picked up by the swimming pool vacuum? Well, this is where your swimming pool filter comes in. An efficient swimming pool filter is a vital part of your armory to guarantee an enjoyable pool experience. There are three main types and choosing the right filter for your pool can be a minefield, particularly if you are on a tight budget. Quite simply the best type of filter is the diatomaceous earth filter, often referred to as the DE filter. Diatomaceous earth is a naturally occurring sedimentary rock, which looks and feels a bit like chalk. It is abrasive and can be crumbled into powder. The water of your pool passes through the diatomaceous earth and it filters out even the smallest of particles, which would otherwise go into your pool. Sand filters allow for a much greater volume of water to pass through them. The filtration material is, of course, sand and so they are not capable of removing the smaller particles. They are effective in stopping particles of approximately 20 to 100 microns in size so the smaller particles will still get through. They are, however, cheaper than the DE filters if you are on a tight budget. Thirdly, there are the cartridge filters. These are the low maintenance option but also the least effective. They will remove particles of approximately 25 to 100 microns in size. Do remember that an effective filter is only half the battle to maintain a clean and healthy pool. The right balance of pool chemicals will also ensure that your pool is properly sanitized and is an essential part of pool maintenance. When choosing your filter, budget will of course be a major factor. Otherwise, you will need to know whether your local water supply is such that it requires a DE filter or whether a sand or cartridge filter will suffice. Also, consider the size of your pool. A larger pool may require a sand filter to cope with the greater volume of water.Finally, a word about cleaning your pool filter. This is vital to ensure that it continues to operate efficiently. It is also quite simple. Just reverse the flow of water and the debris will be flushed away! About USA Pool Filters Please feel free to browse our selection of pool filters and accessories.

There are 3 types of swimming pool filters and the type that you need will depend upon where you live and the characteristics of your local water supply.

Secondly, we have the cartridge swimming pool filter, which is similar to an air purifier in operation and it is effective in removing particles of approximately 25 to 100 microns in size. Finally, there are the Diatomaceous Earth, or DE, filters. These are the most efficient type of swimming pool filter and can stop even the smallest of particles from getting into your pool. They are, however, the most expensive and much will depend upon your budget, of course. Whichever type you decide upon, please remember that it should be cleaned regularly.
