Types of Pool Filters There are a variety of pool filters in the market, and each has unique features. Different pool features exist to meet diverse client needs.

It is a colossal investment suitable for commercial use that requires clean water throughout. These filters come in diverse sizes and features. • Sand Filter Cost The filter can trap particles as tiny as 20microns. It keeps the sand in the filter housing that allows hoses to move in and out.

A level ground allows the pool filter to operate efficiently. • Proximity to the pool.

How to Install Pool Filters Every pool filter has a manual or a guide that provides the necessary steps to follow for a successful installation. However, the final stage of pool filter installation is the same regardless of the pool or filter type. • Turn all the power supply machines that lead to your pool filter off for safety against shock. • Establish external valves of your pool filter and close them. • Remove the drain cap, expel all the water, assemble your filter, and place it in the right position. Seal the threaded pipework using tape. Test if the filters fit correctly. • Clean the filter parts using the PVC primer, apply glue to seal the fittings, and run the water to ensure no leaks. In case of a leak, you will need to fix it. Cost The price of filters depends on their type and the type of pool. However, the cost of installation costs ranges from $200-$2900.
