Pool filters

At Swimhome we have a featured variety of pool filter models. In addition to having models from the most recognized brands in the sector, we offer equipment in different modalities. The filter is one of the most relevant components for the pool's purification function. It is responsible for keeping the water in constant motion, thus allowing it to be purified. Thanks to this function, it helps combat dirt, limiting not only the green colouring of the water but also bad odours. Do you want your pool to maintain a healthy appearance? In that case, the purification system must be powerful.

How does the pool filter work?

There are several types of pool filters, and depending on the type, some criteria of their functions may vary. However, there are some basic principles that remain regardless of the model. Basically, the filter has the capacity to suction the pool water thanks to the skimmer, directing the water by the effect of the pump. Subsequently, the water reaches a tank that applies a special filtering treatment. And finally, the water returns to the pool. So the filter's function allows the completion of a cycle that in turn helps maintain constant sanitation. Does this mean that the filter must be running at all times? It often works in cycles, not continuously. For the maintenance of public pools, the ideal is to programme a full cycle every day. Neglecting the pool's purification function is a major mistake. In fact, this could increase the cost of keeping the water in a healthy condition. It is much more economical to maintain water cleaning or treatment rather than having to do a deep pool cleaning due to its condition. So installing a good filter in your pool will help you reduce your expenses.
