EXPERTS IN POOL FILTRATION SYSTEMS
A pool has a filtration system to keep the water clean and free of algae and bacteria; the filter and the pump are the two most important parts of it.
It is important to choose the right pool filtration equipment for its power and flow rate. The pump’s flow rate should not exceed the flow rate allowed by the pool filter.
Too much pressure on the filter means poorer pool water filtration, and can also overload the installation.
FILTERS
The filter is the main mechanism for cleaning and purifying the water, and plays a vital role in keeping it crystal clear and safe for swimming.
Sand filters are the most common. The water is cleaned as it passes through a tank of sand.
The filter media should be checked and, if necessary, replaced, cleaned and disinfected. It’s also a good time to consider replacing silica sand with filter glass.
PUMPS
The pump is the other key element of the pool filtration system. Pump power depends on the size of the pool and the volume of water that has to pass through the filtration system, which determines the electrical power of the pump you need.
We check that the pre-filter is clean, that the pump hasn’t seized after months out of use, and that there are no leaks from the seal or the lid.
PIPEWORK
Correctly installed pipework is a decisive factor for filtration systems to work properly.
That’s why working with an experienced, professional installer like Total Pool is essential.
