What Makes A Sand Filter So Efficient?

A directed flow of pool water is fed through the sand-filled pressure vessel. The sand, acting as a filter medium, effectively entraps particles of a microscopic scale rendering them invisible to unaided observation. Gradually the debris accrues within the interstices of the sand particles increasing the pressure within the vessel. This rise in pressure serves as an indicator prompting the activation of a "backwash" procedure. Simply move the 6 port selector to 'backwash' which reverses the water flow direction to dislodge and expel the accumulated debris from the filter medium.

Frequently Asked Questions
Difference Between Backwash And Waste On A Sand Filter
Waste: Selecting the drain or waste setting enables the removal of pool water without directing it through the filter medium. Backwash: This operation effectively clears accumulated debris, dirt, and contaminants from the filter, ensuring optimal filtration efficiency.
How Does A Pool Sand Filter Work?
Pool water is directed through a sand-filled pressure vessel, where the sand captures microscopic particles. As debris accumulates in the sand, pressure in the vessel rises, triggering a "backwash" procedure. By selecting "backwash" on the selector, the water flow reverses, expelling accumulated debris from the filter.
How long Before Changing Pool Filter Sand?
A good rule of thumb is every 5 years. However if after three years, you see the efficiency of your filter drop, then change out your sand.
Are Sand Filters Better For Pools?
Sand Filters are cheap to install, maintain and will run for up to 8 years. Water saved on a cartridge filter is negligible when you account for the water needed to flush it.
