When it comes to owning a pool, consider owning the swimming pump as well. As it is the heart of the pool, the pool cannot operate without the pump, as this device optimizes the power and duration while circulating water in your pool. Be sure to install such a device that matches the size of your pool. A pool pump is very important as it circulates the water and heating. It also enhances a major role in saving a low cost energy level as much as possible. Only the right device pump and filter will be able to achieve this for your specific pool.

Pool filters are used to keep swimming pools clean. Working with a pump, the filter removes dirt from the water, most noticeably algae (protecting against the dreaded "green pool" syndrome). Chlorination and other chemical control methods are also needed.

Filters can be above-ground or in-ground pool models, or both. Some models are also multipurpose pool/spa/aquarium filters. Popular brands include Intex, Hayward, Pentair (Triton, Purex), Sta-Rite (now merged with Pentair), Waterway, Jandy, Pac-Fab (Nautilus), Waterco, and Doughboy. Prices range from under $ 50 to a few hundred

dollars; depending on the type, size and brand.

How to Choose the Right Swimming Pool Filter

All filters should have a flow-rate (GPH, gallons per hour) rating. The larger the filter, the higher the flow-rate it can handle. The filter's flow-rate should be the same or higher than the pump's flow-rate. A larger flow-rate filter has less resistance, putting less strain on the pump.Filters are sometimes specified according to pool size. For example, a filter can be specified for a maximum pool size of 19,000 gallons and assuming an 8 hour turnover time. This means that the filter can handle 19,000 gallons in 8 hours, or 19,000 / 8 = 2,375 GPH.

There are three main types of Swimming Pool Filter: cartridge, sand, and diatomaceous earth. When choosing a filter, filtration performance and initial cost are important considerations.

Maintenance effort and cost are also important. These are more difficult to know beforehand as they depend on how dirty the pool water is (pollen count, number of

people, sun tan lotion used, amount of algae-promoting sunlight, etc), and the size of the filter relative to the size of the pool. The filter-change numbers given

below are based on manufacturers' recommendations and user reviews, and will vary depending on actual conditions.

The filter should be washed or replaced, when the filter begins to be blocked by trapped dirt. This is determined by comparing either water flow-rate or filter water

pressure, against the numbers when the filter was new. Details will be in the manufacturer's owner's manual.

The filter should have a built-in pressure gauge. Cheaper cartridge filters do not have a pressure gauge. It's therefore necessary to eye-ball the cartridge condition,

water flow-rate, or pool clarity.

Cartridge Swimming Pool Filter

These are the cheapest type of filter and are often supplied together with above-ground pools.

Advantages

Low initial cost.Easy to install and set up.Easy to maintain, just clean or replace the cartridge, but with daily or weekly effort.Medium filtration performance (size of dirt particles trapped).Disadvantages

Frequent filter washings (every day or week) and replacement (every few weeks or months) required. Shops might not sell filters all year round (online sales websites

are one solution), and the cost of replacement filters adds up.Filter needs to be manually hosed down for cleaning. There is no backwash setting. Special filter cleaning solutions are available for more thorough cleaning.

Slow Sand FiltersThis traditional design of filter typically has a bed 1 to 2 metres deep, and can be rectangular or cylindrical in cross section; it is used primarily to treat surface

water. Slow sand filters have a number of unique qualities:

Use biological processes and are non-pressurized systems.Do not require chemicals or electricity to operate.Cleaning is traditionally by mechanical scraper; however, some operators use "wet harrowing", where the sand is scraped while still under water, and the water used for

cleaning is drained to waste.Maximum required throughput of water is achievable with one or more beds out of service.Require relatively low feed turbidity levels.Produce water at a slow, constant flow rate and are usually used in conjunction with a storage tank for peak usage.

There is more to having a swimming pool than filling it with water. One of the things you are going to find yourself thinking about are above ground pool filters. You want to make sure that you are using above ground pool filters that are good quality and reliable because if your above ground pool filters fail, you won't be able to enjoy your pool until you have replaced the filters.In a perfect world, we wouldn't need above ground pool filters. For the most part, your automatic cleaner or pool salt chlorinators will keep your pool water clean and the swimming pool sanitized. However no system is infallible. The above ground pool filters work as a failsafe in case the pool cleaner doesn't work. The filter's prevent anything from getting into the swimming pool pump and doing an enormous amount of really costly damage.Most pool owners think that the only things that the above ground pool filters block are big items like grass clippings, broken twigs, and dead leaves. This is not the case at all. Yes, the filters will prevent the bigger items from getting into the swimming pools pump, but they will also block bits of dust and dirt that has gotten mixed into the swimming pool water.

The good news is that there is going to be a period of time when you don't have to worry about the filter's that your pool is using. The United States regulates the sales of pools. A company can't legally sell you a swimming pool that doesn't already have a reliable filtration system in place and ready to go. Don't assume that the filtration system is going to last forever. The time will comes when you have to replace the filters. When this happens you are going to have to think about the kind of above ground pool filters you want to use.

The water in your pool isn't stagnate. Your swimming pool pump forces the water in your swimming pool to run through the entire filtration system several times a day. When you find yourself in a position to buy brand new above ground pool filters you are going to want to consider several different things. In addition to taking things like cost and efficiency you are going to want to make sure that you also research how reliable the different filtration systems are. The more knowledgeable you are on the various filtration systems, the better the odds are that you are going to get a great deal on a filtration system that you will get several year's worth of use out of. In addition to reading through the manufactures description of the above ground pool filters you are also going to want to read customer reviews and talk to fellow pool owners.

These pumps are specially designed water filtration pumps for above ground swimming pools. As compare to in-ground or constructed swimming pool pumps these above ground swimming pool filters or pumps are easier to install and they can be placed on ground next to the pool. Over the short time of a few years above ground pools have gained so much popularity among swimming pool lovers. A few key reasons of that are; they are cost effective, easy to install, can be placed anywhere in your house without digging land and most importantly have comfortable and cheap maintenance thanks to low cost and handy pool supplies.

Filters and pumps are very important supplies for any kind of pool, because they work together to keep your pool clean and hygienic. Different pool pumps are available in the market according to their sizes and pumping capabilities. Appropriate size and strength of pump is vital for your pool, as the circulation of water in the pool for maintaining constant flow is totally depend on it. Filtration pumps keep debris and other bacteria or germs away from the pool, so that there is no risk of any waterborne disease. Pump is considered as the heart of the pool without it the pool will be stagnant and dirty. Another important function of pumps is they circulate water purification chemicals throughout the pool water to make it completely hygienic and clear.

If we compare in-ground or conventional pool filtration pumps with above ground pool pumps they are different because they usually available as a single unit i.e. water filter and pump and they also share same base for installation. The installation of the pumps is also different as they are made for pool that are placed above ground, therefore, the filters and pumps of above ground pools are also placed beside the pool and below the water line. This position is important so that pumps can easily force water upwards and circulate in and out without any difficulty. While having low cost, usually, pumps for above ground pools contains a high capacity electric motor, a thermal protector for overload and large size basket to collect debris. The interesting thing the maintenance cost is surprisingly low

Size of pool pump and filter unit depends upon the size of the above ground swimming pool and the power of motor for pump is determined according to the amount of water in the pool that is needed to circulate. If the pump clears total water of the pool within eight hours, this means that the pump and filtration unit is right for the size of pool. The capacity or strength of the motor is also very important because if you use lower horsepower motor it would reduce return pressure eventually only fewer gallons can be filters in a minute. Moreover, this low pressure will also reduce the efficiency of your pool's water filtration system as well. On the other hand if you use high horsepower motor in your pump-filter unit it will channel the sand and with force of water these channels will allow the debris to come back into the pool from filter, hence, the appropriate horsepower motor is required for pumping water into the pool.

Previously the speed of these above ground pool pumps used to be prefixed, but now the manufactures have launch different new models with low, moderate and high speed pumping and filtration capacities, so that you could choose the appropriate filtration speed in different pool conditions. Low speed is good in condition where the pool is clear and purified and just need some continuous freshness while swimming. Moderate speed is required when routine filtration is needed. High speed is usually used for blowing the pool or other inflatable pool accessories; high speed is also good when you need quick filtration in the pool.

Above ground swimming pools are beautiful addition to your house, having one you can make your leisure entertaining and with the comfort for your home. Pool care is also essential for clean and healthy swimming, so quality pump and filter unit will help you to achieve it. Fresh and clean water in your pool is one thing that enhances attraction of your home.
