Swimming Pool Filters and Pumps
You deserve a clean pool! We've made it easy to maintain a clean swimming pool by helping you find the right pool filter or pump.
Buying a Cartridge Filter for Your Swimming Pool
Cartridge Filter. When water passes through a cartridge filter, dirt is screened out at the surface of the cartridge element. When clean, the element will trap larger particles, with finer particles being filtered out as the pores of the element become clogged by the larger debris.

Using a D.E. Filter for Your Swimming Pool
Diatomaceous Earth (DE) Filter. Diatomaceous earth is a porous powder with microscopic openings that when magnified look like tiny sponges. Clear water can pass through these openings, but particles, as small as two to five microns, are trapped during the first pass through the media. D.E. filters have internal elements that become coated with D.E. It is this 'filter cake' that strains dirt, dust and algae from the water.

Choosing a Sand Filter for Your Swimming Pool
Sand Filter. Sand filters for swimming pools are the oldest and most popular method of filtration. They operate on the basis of "depth" filtration where dirt is driven through the sand bed and trapped in the spaces between the sand particles. Initially, a clean sand bed removes larger particles, and then, as the bed starts to load up with debris, the filter removes finer particles.
