• We switch the selector valve to the flushing position.
• We turn on the filtration pump.
• We turn off the pump when the water is clear.
• We put the selector valve in the rinsing position.
• We turn the pump back on.
• After rinsing, we put the valve in the filtering position.

Ready! We now have our sand filter ready to continue working on the cleaning and purification of the water. When the pressure gauge is in the yellow zone it will be indicating that it is necessary to repeat the cleaning and rinsing process.

Cartridge Filters

Cartridge filters are cylindrical filters. The operation of a cartridge filter filter consists of sucking the water from the pool through the skimmer and the sump (respectively) that are propelled by the filter's own pump.

Once the water is suctioned, it passes directly to a tank containing a special material that purifies and filters the water, so that the liquid finally returns to the pool.

Ideally, this filtering process should be done with all the water in the pool, thus completing what would be called a total filtering cycle, which varies in terms of time and power, since, as is obvious, it depends on the type of filter you are implementing.

Maintenance of cartridge filters

The pool cartridge filters collect everything that enters the water. This means: dirt, sunscreen oils, minerals and contaminants. To prevent filters from clogging or clogging, it is essential to clean them frequently.

It is also important to note that not only should the filter be cleaned every few months, but it should be replaced every two years, as they do not last forever.

It is important to change the cartridge every two years:

• Increased particle filtration.
• Less water loss.
• Less stress on pumps.
• Better filtering for creams and sunscreens, make-up, etc.

Monoblock Filters

Ideal for removable pools or above ground pools. The installation of purifiers with this type of filtering is very easy, as well as the dismantling process. That is why it is so recommended for above ground and/or above ground pools that may be removed after the summer season.

Undoubtedly, a success both for its operation and for the low investment required. It is a type of sand filter with a much simpler operation. We encourage you to take a look at our offer of this type of filter.

Difference between sand filters and cartridge filters

The difference between the two is that cartridge filters are paper cartridges and are designed for low-flow inflatable and tubular pools, since this type of filter has a lower filtration capacity.

While sand filters keep pools in optimal conditions. The filtration capacity is much higher, and manages to filter even the smallest dirt. The water is cleaned through the sand tank that incorporates the device. They are perfect for both large and small pools.
