FILTRATION
Adequate filtration is the one of the most important elements of good pool maintenance.
Chemicals alone do not keep the pool water clean. It is the combination of chemicals,
circulation and filtration that keeps your pool water clean, clear and healthy. The importance of
proper filtration cannot be overemphasized in the overall program of sound pool maintenance
and sanitary water. Proper circulation and filtration of the water is one of the best defenses
against algae formation and cloudiness. The filter system comprises the complete filter and
pump and motor. The filter is passive and requires the pump and motor to pass water through
it for cleaning.
Circulation begins as water flows through the in-wall skimmer and drain (optional) into the
pump & motor. It then is pushed into the filter tank where dirt and debris are trapped in the filter
media. Clean water then exits the
tank through a return hose or
plumbing to the pool through the
return inlet(s). Regardless of the
type of filter system you have, you
should operate your system a
minimum of 8 to 12 hours per day, up
to 24 hours. Refer to the operating
instructions for your specific filter
system type from the link at the
bottom of this page. Be certain to
read and follow all manufacturers¡¯
instructions on operation prior to
start-up.
