Sand filter for pool

Sand filters are the most common type of filter for pools and form a basic component for maintaining water quality. They are effective and relatively cost-effective in relation to the performance they deliver. A sand filter is filled with fine-grained sand that effectively captures dirt particles down to 20 microns, helping to keep the pool clean.

How does a sand filter work?

When the water from the pool is pumped through the sand filter, it passes through the sand bed. The dirt particles stick to the sand grains, while the purified water returns to the pool, ensuring a continuous cleaning process.

Advantages of sand filters

• Effective: Sand filters are very effective at capturing dirt particles and thereby contribute to crystal-clear pool water.
• Cost-effective: Sand filters are relatively inexpensive to purchase and maintain, making them an economically advantageous choice for pool owners.
• Easy to use: Sand filters are easy to install and maintain, reducing the need for complicated interventions.

Disadvantages of sand filters

• Wear on the sand: Over time, accumulated dirt particles and water flow can cause wear on the sand, which can reduce the filter's filtration efficiency.
• Regular sand replacement: The sand in the filter must be replaced regularly to maintain optimal function, which can involve some cost and effort.

What size sand filter do I need?

The size of the sand filter should be carefully adapted to the pool's volume and water flow. An undersized sand filter will not be able to filter the water sufficiently effectively, which can lead to poorer water quality and increased maintenance needs.

How often should I backwash the sand filter?

The sand filter should be backwashed regularly to remove the dirt particles that have accumulated in the sand bed. Backwashing involves pumping water through the filter in the opposite direction, which effectively loosens the dirt from the sand grains and rinses it out. This is crucial to maintain the sand filter's efficiency and ensure the pool remains clean and fresh.

How do I take care of my sand filter?

To keep the sand filter in optimal condition and extend its lifespan, it is important to follow regular maintenance routines. Here are some important tips to ensure your proper sand filter lasts a long time:

• Backwash the filter regularly to remove accumulated particles.
• Clean the filter tank regularly to prevent buildup of dirt and algae.
• Replace the sand regularly according to the manufacturer's recommendations or at signs of reduced efficiency.

By following these simple tips, you can ensure that your proper sand filter lasts for many years to come, guaranteeing that the pool remains clean and inviting.
