Why choose a cartridge filter for your swimming pool?

1. Fine Filtration: Cartridge filters are known for their ability to trap very small particles from the water, often as small as 10-15 microns. So this level of filtration can result in exceptionally clean water, making cartridge filters a popular choice for pools where water clarity is a top priority.
2. Low Maintenance: Cartridge filters typically require less maintenance compared to sand or diatomaceous earth (DE) filters. There’s no need for backwashing, which can save water and reduce the need for frequent filter media replacement. Instead, cartridge filters only need periodic cleaning by removing the cartridges and hosing them down or soaking them in a cleaning solution.
3. Energy Efficiency: Cartridge filters generally have lower pressure drops compared to sand or DE filters. This means the pool pump doesn’t have to work as hard to push water through the filter, resulting in potential energy savings over time.
4. Compact Size: Cartridge filters are often more compact than other types of filters, making them suitable for smaller equipment pad areas or installations where space is limited.
5. Versatility: Cartridge filters can be used in various pool types and sizes, from small residential pools to large commercial facilities. They’re available in a range of sizes and configurations to accommodate different filtration needs.
6. No Backwashing: Unlike sand filters, which require regular backwashing to clean the filter media, cartridge filters don’t need backwashing. This means they use less water and require less frequent filter media replacement, saving you time and money in the long run.
7. Ease of Installation: Cartridge filters are relatively easy to install and maintain. They don’t require complex plumbing or backwash valves, simplifying the installation process for pool owners and professionals alike.
