how Filtration Works

The pool filter and pump are the heart and lungs of the pool circulation and filtration system. The primary purpose of the filter is to keep your pool clean by removing undissolved debris from the pool water.

Pool water comes from the circulation pump into the filter where small debris particles are removed through filtration. Gravity pulls the water down through the sand where debris gets caught and then the filtered water flows out the inlet pipe.

A filter works through mechanical separation of water and debris through surface or depth filtration. Sand filters use special filter sand, cartridge filters pass water through a fibrous element, and DE filters pass water through a thin layer of diatomaceous earth that is coated onto a grid.

A gauge located on the filter or valve can be used to measure the back pressure or resistance in your filter system. When the pressure increases by 10 psi, the filter should be cleaned to reduce resistance and improve water flow. Sand and DE filters require periodic backwashing to remove debris from the filter.

Cartridge filters require disassembly and cleaning of the cartridge periodically to remove debris from the filter.

 

Diatomaceous Earth (DE) filters offer the best filtration with efficient flow and large cleaning capacities.  Hayward offers a full line of DE filters suiting the needs of any residential pool. DE filters rely on the addition of Diatomaceous Earth in powder Signature Pool and Spas - DE Powder
