Pool filter - Swimming pool filtration equipment supplier | Hayward

How do I choose a filter?

Your choice of filter should be based around:

Filtration technology: sand, cartridge and diatomaceous earth filters that determine water clarity and therefore bathing comfort.
Required flow: to determine this value, consider that an average of 4 to 6 hours should be sufficient to replace the entire volume of pool water.
Filter operation: sand and diatomaceous earth filters require backwashing and therefore access to the main drain.
Space available in the equipment room: the smaller size of the cartridge filter allows it to be installed in smaller equipment rooms.

Sand Filters

Discover the large range of Hayward sand filters

Sand filters are equipped with a tank filled with sand grains that clean the pool water. They filter out debris down to sizes of approximately 50 μm. This is the most common type of filters and suit all pool basins. However, it requires backwashing and therefore involves releasing water into the wastewater system.

Diatomaceous Earth Filters

Extremely fine filtration - Diatomaceous filters

Diatomaceous filters are considered to have the best performance with a filtration size of 5μm, and produce crystal-clear water. In order for them to operate correctly, regular cleaning is needed (every 3 to 5 weeks). However, they require backwashing every 2 months to eliminate built-up dirt. The diatomaceous earth released during backwashing must be collected to prevent it from entering the wasterwater system, and the level of diatomaceous earth in the pool must then be partially replenished.
