FAQ About Sand Filter Systems For Pools
The fitler cartridge must be clean to work well. You should therefore check its condition once a week and clean it if necessary. If the contamination is heavy or cannot be removed, the filter cartridge should be changed. As a rule, this is enough every two weeks.
If the bottom needs to be removed, the most suitable is quartz sand. This is applied 1-2 cm and smoothes out unevenness. In addition, no roots or stones can penetrate through the pool liner. Otherwise, the pool can also be placed on flat stone slabs or grass with an underlay foil.
As a rule, the water can be used for one season. However, it is important that the pool is properly maintained, protected and cleaned (appropriate chemicals, filter use and maintenance, cover, if necessary, manual cleaning with a landing net, …).
A sand filter system is part of most pool equipment. The water is attracted by a pump and passed through the unit. In the filter tank of the unit , the sand takes care of cleaning the water: large and small contaminants are filtered in this way. The water is then returned to the pool through inlet glands.
Most sand filter systems cost between 120 – 200 euros.
