Sand Filter Vs DE Filter: Which Pool Filter is Best For Your Pool?


The answer to this question depends upon the circumstances. It all depends upon you to choose the filtration system according to your needs and requirements. However, a sand filter is best if your pool does not suffer more cloudy or green water. It is easy to use and maintain. But wait! If your pool has a lot of issues with pollen which is the growing problem in certain areas that turn water green quickly, a DE filter is best to choose in that case. It is the only filter that filters out water from pollen and provides clean water. It does not use multiple chemicals for this purpose.
