Filters - EcoSmarte Pool System Manual

3 basic types
Three basic types of filters exist for both above ground and
in-ground swimming pools:
- Sand filter
- Diatomaceous earth
- Cartridge
It is important to confirm that the size of filter is adequate
for your pool and your pool pump is correctly rated for your
filter. Generally, the filter cannot be oversized (the bigger the
better). An undersized filter will easily double your chemical
use, double your time spent on water chemistry, and give you
many days of murky water. Very few above ground pools are
sold with an adequate filter, so make sure you double check
yours is the correct size.

the key to time
and chemical
savings
Pools with inadequate filters can
either add a second filter or in-
crease the size by replacing an
existing filter. In the case of sand
filters, an upgrade in the media
itself may permit a marginally
sized filter to successfully oper-
ate the pool. Media options will
result in a specific micron remov-
al with a properly sized pump.
