Pumps are an essential part of any pool system. They circulate the water, allowing it to flow through the filtration system and keeping it clean and clear. Pumps come in a variety of sizes and power levels, depending on the size of your pool and the amount of water that needs to be moved. When selecting a pump, it’s important to choose one that is energy-efficient and has the right horsepower for your pool.

Filters are another critical component of pool maintenance. They remove impurities from the water, such as dirt, debris, and bacteria, keeping the water safe and healthy for swimmers. There are three main types of filters: sand, cartridge, and diatomaceous earth (DE). Sand filters use a layer of sand to trap particles, while cartridge filters use a pleated fabric material. DE filters use a fine powder made from the fossilized remains of diatoms to filter the water.

When selecting a filter, it’s important to consider the size of your pool and the amount of use it gets. A smaller pool with light use may only need a simple sand filter, while a larger pool with heavy use may require a more powerful DE filter. It’s also important to regularly clean and maintain your filter to ensure it’s working properly. If you are looking for a new pump or filter changes, please contact Splendid Pools
