Pool Filters
Which Pool Filter is Right for Your Pool
Pool filters are an integral component of your pool that removes dirt and contaminates from the water, keeping it clean, clear, and sparkling. They are available in either sand or pleated cartridges.
How they work is actually quite simple. As water travels through the filter, suspended dirt particles become trapped in the filter’s silica sand media or cartridge material.
In the case of sand filters, the captured particles build up over time and the filter needs to be “backwashed” to rinse the sand clean. Cartridge filters can be removed and cleaned with no need to backwash, saving both water and the environment.

ZeoBrite Filter
- The modern upgrade to a typical sand filter for in-ground pools
- Incorporates ZeoBrite filtration media vs sand for increased surface area and superior filtration performance
- Easy-to-use and consumer-friendly cleaning method via backwashing
- Includes a discharge port for removing water or draining the pool
- It is recommended to backwash a ZeoBrite filter approximately once per 2 weeks
- Improved flow rating over sand filter due to the ZeoBrite being more coarse. Sand is denser which restricts your pool’s water flow and forces your pump to work harder than it needs to.
- Filters down to approximately 10-20 microns, that’s 2x times better than a sand filter.
Cartridge Filter
- Provides pool owners with an alternative when a sand/zeobrite filter is not the best option, such as areas with water discharging bylaws or a sensitive environment
- Ideal for smaller pools and/or pools that don’t require frequent cleanings
- Uses a set of pleated cartridge filters to capture particles from the water
- Does not have a discharge line for removing water or draining the pools
- May only need to be cleaned 2-3 times per year
- Cartridges will need to be replaced approximately every 3-4 years
- Filters down to approximately less than 10 microns.
