Swimming Pool Filters – Sand & Cartridge Pool Filters

Savvy pool owners understand the importance of a pool filtration system. Pool filters remove debris and pollutants that would otherwise cause dirty, cloudy water. However, pool filters are essential for more than just keeping your pool crystal clear, as contaminants such as bacteria can cause illness, while cloudy water creates ideal conditions for algae growth.

At Southside Pool Services, we carry a range of high quality and affordable sand and cartridge pool filters that will help you keep your pool crystal clear and free from debris.

Sand Filters

Sand filters are a tank that holds special pool grade sand or glass media. As the pool’s pump propels water through the filter system, dirt and other debris are trapped on top of the sand and glass media whilst circulating clean water back to the pool. Sand pool filters have low upfront and maintenance costs, they are easy-to-use and they can remove down to 20-40 micron-sized dirt and debris.

Cartridge Filters

Cartridge filters use a cartridge element, similar to the kind found under a typical kitchen sink, to screen out dirt and other impurities. They are more effective at cleaning dirt and debris than their counterparts as they can remove dirt particles as small as 10-15 microns. Cartridge filters require more frequent cleaning.
