There are three different kinds of filters with different levels of filtration and circulation speeds, according to your needs.

Sand filters have a filtration quality of 20-40 micras, and the circulation speed is 40-50m3/m2. Cartridge filters have a level of filtration of 10-20 micras and their speed is 2-3m3/h/m2; while diatoms filters filter 2-5 micras and have a speed of 4-5m3/h/m2.

When you are choosing a filter, you must think about these basic questions:

-The kind of filtration you want.
- Place available for the installation of the filter.
- Necessary stream / filtration speed.


Suggestions and advices:

- Sand and diatom filters need a direct access to a drain.
- Cartridge filters can be installed in a small technical room
- The water volume of your pool must be completely regenerated in 5/6 hours.
- If the hardness of the water is very high, diatom filters are not recommended.

How to choose a pump?

It must be chosen depending on the necessary water stream, expressed in m3/h. It must not be overdimensioned compared to the filter, as the quality would be worse because of the speed of the water trough the filtering material.
