Are pool filters universal?
No, pool filters are not universally interchangeable. They come in different types and sizes to suit various pool setups and filtration needs. Installing a pool filter that is too small or too large for your pool’s needs can lead to inadequate filtration, poor water quality and potential equipment damage. Our helpful team is here to guide you through our collection and help you find the right pool filter for you.
Can you clean and reuse a pool filter?
Yes, pool filter cartridges and DE filters can be cleaned and reused. It’s recommended to clean pool filters after 6 months of use.
How often to replace your pool filter?
It’s recommended to replace pool filter cartridges and pool filter sand about every 3-5 years. To determine if it’s time for a replacement, keep an eye on the cleaning frequency, water quality, and signs of filter damage.
How do above-ground pool filters work?
Above-ground pool filters work by removing debris, contaminants, and particles from pool water to help maintain water clarity and quality. For example, sand filters consist of a tank filled with a bed of specially graded sand which traps and filters out particles in pool water. Cartridge filters are another type of above-ground pool filter. The cartridges contain pleated spun polyester, which traps particles as water flows through them. Lastly, DE filters use a fine powder made from diatomaceous earth to trap and filter out particles in pool water.
