The pool sand filter is a high-quality filter system. Unlike other filter systems, this type of filter catches both the large and small dirt particles. The large particles include debris such as hair, insects and leaves. Most filters catch this larger debris quite well.
The difference lies in the smaller dirt particles, the real swimming pool polluters. This category includes algae and phosphates. A sand filter is the only way to remove the invisible little contaminants from your swimming pool.
By choosing a Triton sand filter by Pentair, you can reduce the algal growth significantly.
A sand filter won't work if you do not have a swimming pool pump; you need both system components to make sure your pool water becomes crystal clear again.
The swimming pool pump pumps the water from the pool to the swimming pool filter. The pool water goes through the skimmers, the overflow or the underflow to the sand filter. This is the surface water. The pump also brings the water to the sand filter via the pool vacuum cleaner.
If you have a skimmer pool, then the skimmer system will most likely have a pre-filter or filter basket. This can already collect the first larger debris. You should definitely also use the Net'Skim pre-filter collection bags to catch all bigger debris (twigs, leaves, insects, etc.) so that it doesn't reach the sand filter, prolonging the filter's lifespan.
Once the water gets to the pool sand filter, it is pumped through the sand filter from top to bottom. This filter is filled with a filtration medium. We always choose sand, despite the availability of other media, for example glass pearls.
The water rests on top of the sand and seeps down through it. The dirt particles stick to the sand and fresh clear water comes out of the pool filter. The water is then guided back to the swimming pool, sometimes passing a pool heating system first.
Selecting the right sand filter depends on the volume of your swimming pool. You should test this volume against the flow rate of your sand filter. For a private pool, you should choose a filter that can filter all the water in your pool within 6 hours. should you have more questions, contact us to get more details: www.micpoolspa.com
