Pool pumps and filters

Click here to see our selection of Pool pumps and filters.

Pool pumps and filters work in unison to keep swimming pool water clean. Of course, filters won't protect your pool's water from algae, bacteria or minerals. Nonetheless, they are still vital to the smooth operation of the pool's hydraulics. There are three main types of filters - sand, cartridge, and diatomaceous earth (d.e.). Each has a specialty method, but all filters function to remove grease, dirt, and oil from your pool's water.

For high-end performance with low maintenance, look for a cartridge filter. It removes particles smaller than the human eye and hosing it off is all you have to do to clean it. Sand filters are the bestselling filter out there because they are less expensive and very simple to operate and maintain. Filtering with a diatomaceous earth filter results in clean water that sparkles because the d.e. filter strips the pool water of microscopic contaminants that have serious effects on water clarity.

To decide which combination of pool pumps and filters will fit best for your pool, work closely with your builder to determine the needs and requirements of your pool's water volume. If it's a new pool, it is worth the effort to obtain the best equipment right off the bat. If you're planning remodeling or expanding an existing pool, any pool professional will be happy to review all the elements of your project.
