Why a Sand Filter?

A Sand Filter is a low maintenance filtration option for your pool or spa.  It does need to be plumbed to a sewer line unlike a cartridge filter but you don’t need to wash the filter media manually which saves time and energy. All you need to do is flick a switch and the backwashing function cleans the media in the filter.
You can look at various media options for a Sand Filter including glass. On average you need to replace the media every five years.

Why a Cartridge Filter?

A Cartridge Filter is a more compact option than a Sand Filter so is a good option if space is at a premium. A Cartridge Filter needs to be cleaned manually which means it does not need to be plumbed to a sewer line. It is a more affordable than a Sand Filter and the Filter Cartridge needs to be replaced every two years.

How does a Salt Water Chlorinator work?

A salt water chlorinator makes its’ own chlorine – eliminating the need for you to buy harsh chemicals and add them to your pool yourself. Salt water chlorinators pass salt water through an electric cell to produce chlorine to keep your pool pristine. They can be set to automatically chlorinate your pool at regular intervals to ensure it stays sparkling clean. Your local Pool Store or Technician will be able to set up your chlorinator to run in conjunction with your pump and filter system at maximum efficiency.
