Author: Poolking - Swimming Pool Equipment Manufacturer

Subheading 1 - Introduction

If you are considering getting a swimming pool, then one thing that you need to give serious consideration to is the filtration system. The right filter can extend the lifespan of your pool, making it a comfortable place to enjoy with friends and family. But, how can you determine the right pool filter? In this guide, we’re going to answer that question and help you make the right purchase decision.

Subheading 2 - Types of Pool Filters

There are three main types of filters for pools that you can choose from — sand, cartridge, and D.E (diatomaceous earth). Sand filters are cost-effective and commonly used for larger pools, while cartridge filters typically have better filtration and are suitable for smaller pools. D.E. Filters are the most effective of the three, but can be more expensive to run.

Subheading 3 - Determining the Right Size of Pool Filter

Size is a critical consideration when choosing a pool filter. The size of the filter is measured by flow rate, which is usually measured in gallons of water per minute (GPM). With that in mind, here’s how to determine the right size:

- For a pool of 20,000 gallons or less, you should go for a filter that has a flow rate of 20-25 GPM.

- For a pool between 20,000 and 40,000 gallons, the ideal flow rating is between 30-50 GPM.

- If you have a pool larger than 40,000 gallons, you need a filter with a flow rate of 50 GPM.

Subheading 4 - Water Clarity Goal

Another thing to consider when choosing a pool filter is your water clarity goals. If you want your pool water to be crystal clear and free of all sorts of impurities, then you should opt for a D.E. filter. Sand filters are usually the ideal choice for maintaining clear water while keeping maintenance costs relatively low. Cartridge filters can also keep water clean, but they need frequent replacements to keep the water at the required standard.

Subheading 5 - Budgeting for Your Pool Filter

Finally, to know what pool filter you need, you have to budget for your purchase. There are a lot of options available for pool filters, depending on the type and size you need. If you’re on a budget, then a sand filter is your best bet. A cartridge filter will be ideal if you have a medium-sized pool, and a D.E filter will be perfect if you have a large budget and really value water clarity.

Conclusion

Without a doubt, choosing the right pool filter can make all the difference in the lifespan and overall condition of your personal pool. By taking into consideration factors like sizes, types, filtration goals, and budgeting, you can make an informed decision and have confidence in choosing the right pool filter for your specific needs.

----Yes, they can. Silica sand is mainly used for filtration, while activated carbon is mainly used for adsorption. Silica sand is effective for higher water quality requirements. When use them together, silica sand should be placed on the bottom layer, and then activated carbon should be filled on the sand, but the cost of using two media is much higher.
----It is best to replace the silica sand of sand filters every 1-2 years for the following reasons:
a During backwashing, the filtration bed volume will expand upwards by 1.2 to 1.3 times. The water flow will drive the filtration layer to flow up and down, causing the filtration material particles to collide with each other. Backwash will let the small sand evacuate.
b.Some silica sands will be welded when the acid and alkali are changed due to insufficient purity;
Therefore, the longer the time, the worse the filtering effect of the sand tank. Since backwashing will consume and take away some sand, we need to replace the sand in the sand tank within the specified period.
