How to Change Above Ground Pool Filter

If you have an above ground pool, you know how important it is to keep it clean and clear. Your pool filter plays a crucial role in maintaining the cleanliness of your pool. A dirty or clogged filter can result in poor water quality, and can even cause damage to your pool equipment. In this article, we will guide you through the process of changing your above ground pool filter.

Why Change Your Above Ground Pool Filter

Your pool filter is in charge of capturing and removing dirt, debris, and particles from your pool water that could make it cloudy or unhygienic. However, over time, these trapped pollutants can build up and cause your pool filter to clog, which will decrease its efficiency. Additionally, a clogged filter will put a strain on your pool pump, leading to faster wear and tear. By changing your above ground pool filter regularly, you will ensure that your pool's water remains crystal clear while prolonging the life of your pool's equipment.

Preparation Before Changing Pool Filter

Before changing your pool filter, you need to make sure that you have all the necessary equipment and tools. This might include a new filter, a wrench or pliers, PVC glue, and Teflon tape. Be sure to check your pool manufacturer's documentation to ensure you purchase the correct filter for your pool.

How To Choose Your Filter Replacement

There are three main types of pool filters: sand, cartridge, and diatomaceous earth (DE). When shopping for a new pool filter, you need to choose the one that works best with your pool's size and needs. A sand filter is ideal for larger above ground pools, while cartridge filters are better suited for smaller pools. DE filters provide the highest level of filtration but are more expensive than other pool filters. Make sure that you choose the right type of filter for your pool's size and usage.

Step-by-Step Guide on How to Change Your Above Ground Pool Filter

1. Turn off and unplug your pool pump. Before you start working on your pool filter, make sure that the pump is switched off and unplugged. This will prevent any accidents from happening.

2. Remove the old pool filter. Using a wrench or pliers, loosen the clamps holding your pool filter in place. Once the clamps are loose, you can lift out the old filter.

3. Clean out the filter housing. After you have removed the old filter, it's important to clean out the filter housing using a hose, making sure that no debris or dirt is left behind.

4. Install the new filter. Place the new filter inside the filter housing carefully. Make sure that the filter is securely fixed in place before tightening the clamps.

5. Reconnect the pump. Once you have installed the new filter, you can reconnect the pump and switch it back on. Make sure that everything is running smoothly and that there are no leaks.

Conclusion

In summary, changing your above ground pool filter is essential for maintaining the cleanliness of your pool and prolonging the life of your pool equipment. By following the step-by-step guide, you should have no problem changing your pool filter in just a few minutes. Remember to choose the right type of filter for your pool's size and needs, and always follow the manufacturer's instructions. By doing so, you'll be well on your way to enjoying a crystal clear and hygienic pool.
