which pool filter is best

Author: Poolking - Swimming Pool Equipment Manufacturer

Pool owners know the importance of having a reliable pool filter. The filter removes debris such as leaves, insects, and dirt, ensuring that the pool remains clean and hygienic. However, not all pool filters are created equal. To help you decide which pool filter is best for your needs and budget, we’ve put together this guide.

1. What are the different types of pool filters available?

There are three primary types of pool filters: sand, cartridge, and D.E. (diatomaceous earth). Sand filters use natural sand media to remove debris, while cartridge filters use a removable pleated filter cartridge. D.E. filters use a powdered fossilized material known as diatomaceous earth to trap debris.

2. What are the pros and cons of each type of pool filter?

Sand filters are the most affordable and simple to maintain, but they don’t filter as finely as cartridge or D.E. filters. Cartridge filters offer better filtration and are easier to clean than sand filters, but the filter cartridges need regular replacement. D.E. filters provide the best filtration, but they require the most maintenance and are the priciest option.

3. What size of pool filter do I need for my pool?

The size of your pool filter depends on the size of your pool. As a general rule, a filter should be able to circulate all the water in your pool within 8-10 hours. The filter’s flow rate, measured in gallons per minute (GPM), should also match your pool pump’s flow rate. For example, if your pool pump moves 60 GPM, you’ll need a filter with a 60 GPM flow rate.

4. How often should I clean my pool filter?

You should clean your pool filter when the pressure gauge (if your filter has one) reads 8-10 pounds above the clean, start-up pressure. For sand filters, you’ll need to backwash the filter media by reversing the water flow. For cartridge filters, you can either rinse off the cartridge with a hose or soak it in a cleaning solution. D.E. filters require the most thorough cleaning, including dismantling and hosing down the grids.

5. Which brand of pool filter is best?

There are many reputable pool filter brands, including Hayward, Pentair, Jandy, and Sta-Rite. Each brand offers a range of filter models in various sizes and types. To determine which brand is best for you, consider your pool’s needs, your budget, and the filter’s maintenance requirements.

Ultimately, the best pool filter for your pool is one that fits your needs, budget, and lifestyle. Consider the filter’s type, size, maintenance requirements, and reputation when making your decision. With a little research and careful consideration, you can find the perfect pool filter for your backyard oasis.

Commercial depth sand filter leading by Poolking
Hello, ladies and gentlemen. Today I'd like to introduce Poolking commercial depth sand filter.It is environmental protection and non toxicity.It can be used in large swimming pools, aquariums, aquaculture and other water applications.
Bigger is not always better when it comes to pool pumps. A pool pump that is too large can hinder filtration and can even damage a pool’s filter and/or heater. It is therefore very important to know the size of a pool before purchasing a pool pump. If there is additional equipment (such as water features) installed into the pool, it will have to be taken it into account when deciding what size pump is going to be purchased. The more equipment is installed into a pool, the more powerful the pump needs to be.
It is important to consult with a pool equipment expert, such as Poolking's Pumps, before buying a pool pump. The team at Poolking will be able to give our customers professional advice regarding the size of the pump they will need to purchase.
