1. Which filtration is suitable for my pool?
| Filtration type | Suitable for | Advantages | Disadvantages |
| Sand filter pumps | Larger pools (from 10 m³) | Longer service life, less frequent maintenance, traps impurities better | Higher purchase price, needs flushing |
| Cartridge filter pumps | Smaller pools | Lower price, easy installation | Frequent cleaning and replacement of cartridges, lower performance |
2. Choosing a pool filter system by performance
The system should be able to filter the entire volume of the pool in 4-6 hours. For example, the flow rate of 2-3 m³/h is ideal for a 12 m³ pool.
3. How long should it run?
6-8 hours per day is recommended. On hot days or when using the pool frequently, it is a good idea to extend the filter run time.
4. Choosing a filter for a yard pool if a lot of dirt gets inside
Sand filter pump can also capture larger impurities. Cartridge filter pumps require more frequent cartridge cleaning. A combination of filter pump and a pool vacuum cleaner is ideal.
5. Pool filter maintenance
- Flush the sand filter pump regularly and replace the sand for every new season.
- Clean the cartridge filter pump every few days and replace the cartridge regularly.
- Monitor the filter pressure. Cleaning is required when the pressure is elevated.
