SWIMMING POOL FILTERS & FILTER SYSTEMS

Pool filters with a correctly sized, with a properly matched pool pump will ensure proper pool water turn-over and efficient pool water filtration. To accomplish this, the filter must have an 8-12 hour turnover rate, which is the most essential factor to maintain the safety and clarity of your pool. Pool filter types and size has a different turn-over rate requirement and therefore, it should be matched to the specific pool pump size, pool application and performance needs.

Sand filters for pools are called High Rate pool filters because they are designed for a fast water turnover for superb pool water filtering. Sand filters perform best when the water passes through the filter media as many times as possible per day.

FOR BETTER SAND FILTRATION & WATER QUALITY!

Today, a growing number of pool owners are not using pool filter sand in their filters. We prefer to use Activate Glass media or Zeobrite which both provide superior water clarity compared to sand.  Each granule of Zeobrite has countless little pockets, nooks and crannies to trap dirt as small as 3 microns. This is 10 times smaller particles than pool filter sand can capture! This filter media acts as a molecular sieve, even capturing irritating ammonia ions produced from dead organic material in the water and reduces chloramines in the water that cause eye irritation and chlorine odor. Zeobrite and Activate glass media reduce backwashing requirement up to 50% and save water, energy, labor and chemical costs compared to filter sand.

Activate glass filter media drastically reduces the formation of harmful trichloramines in chlorinated systems and it is scientifically proven to be superior to other glass filter media because of a special activation process. Activate attracts and captures bacteria and algae to prevent the formation of biofilm. Biofilm occurs when bacteria gather in groups and form a shield that will protect them from very high chlorine levels of even greater than 50 ppm. Activate provides excellent water clarity, purity, and quality. Turn your sand filter into a Super filter with Activate filter media!
