Pool Sand Filters

Water filtering is essential if you want to keep yor pool clean and comfort. Clear water not only looks beautiful and inviting but is also necessary for health and safety reasons. Much of the suspended material in the pool water derived from animal and plant sources will provide food for bacteria and algae.

Pool Filter Types
There are three types of pool filters:

  • Pool cartridge filters
  • Pool sand filters
  • Pool DE powder filters

All three filter types uses the same principle - pass pool water through filration agent and return it to the pool. Pool sand filter is a most simple, affordable and popular filter type for pool water filtering.

Pool Sand Filter Technology
Typical sand filter for pool is a round or cylindric device with power pump. In pool sand filters water is pushed through bed of sand and removed through a set of lateral tubes at the bottom. As the filter sand becomes plugged with debris from the pool, the pressure increases on the filter and the water flow drops. Sand filter for pool removes the least amount of impurities. They only filter down to particles as small as 20 to 25 microns. Pool sand filters are efficient enough to keep most pools clean, but they do not clean down to the tiniest particles as a cartridge or the most effective DE filters do.

Pool sand filters can be used for almost any water feature, including:

  • In-ground pools of all types and sizes
  • In-ground spas (residential or commercial)
  • Water features (fish ponds, fountains, water gardens)

Pool Sand Filter Maintenance
To keep a pool sand filter working you must clean it as often as once a week. You can clean it by simply backwashing your sand filter for pool - which means you reverse the flow of the water so that it dislodges debris trapped in your sand bed and flushes them from your pool sand filter. The down side of sand filter for pool is that backwashing wastes a significant amount of water that must then be replaced in your pool. Pool sand filters come with a valve to change the direction of water flow it is known as the multiport valve. sand filter for pool can be mounted on the side of the filter or on the top. If your pool sand filter is side mounted there is usually a glass dome in top of the sand filter for pool, to view the water.
