Cracking Pool Filters
Arizona is home to some of the hottest temperatures in the United States. With that said, most pool filters are constructed of fiberglass shells that can withstand pressure readings of 50psi. Our dry heat and sun-beaten summers slowly break down fiberglass. Therefore, they are a large tank just waiting to split open and spray water everywhere.
Consider these questions while deciding whether to repair or replace your filter:
- How old are my cartridges, grids, or sand?
- When was the last time they were replaced?
- What does the quality of my water look like?
- How efficient is my pool pump with my current filter?
Does it matter what kind of pool filter I get?
Yes, it does! There are 3 different types of pool filters for your swimming pool:
- Diatomaceous earth – 1-to-3-micron filtration
- Cartridge filters – 15-micron filtration
- Sand – 30 micro filtration.
