Whilst swimming pool chemicals will help kill contaminants and prevent others from forming, a pool filter removes any particles that are left behind! Water will pass through the pool filter, and the fine particles that the skimmer basket can't remove are trapped in the media (filled with sand or glass).
To determine the best swimming pool filter, please keep in mind that every filter will require upkeep, but the level of maintenance will vary depending on the media type.
The lifespan of a pool filter can vary from 2 years to 15. Again, it all depends on what filter media you use.
No matter the filter media, all filters function to remove contaminants from the pool by trapping fine particles. The main media types include the following:
