These are sand filters, D.E. filters, and cartridge filters. Sand Filter The sand filter contains silica sands that can trap particles with ranges of 20 to 100 microns. The more it can collect dirt, the better it functions in trapping a lot of dirt. Many people are saying that the sand bed must be changed at least once every 7 years. However, its efficiency loss is very hard to detect. There are many reasons that can cause its deterioration. One is water balance. You can include a little amount of alum, or aluminum sulfate, in the skimmer. It will build into a gelatinous layer over the sand bed, which can help in cleaning the terrible water condition. You may also sprinkle a little of other forms of filter media. Cartridge Filter This type of filter is the common choice among spas as well as little above-ground swimming pools. The filter element in these is more like the air cleaner installed in automobiles. It can trap up to 25 to 100 microns of particles. You can remove the cartridge from the tank then thoroughly hose it using a high-pressure hose so you can take away the dirt. This is usually done when the pressure gauge read 8 to 10 lbs. There are a number of individuals who will bring their cartridges to carwash centers. However, there is reduction in its filtering ability every time it is cleaned. Thus, it should be replaced at least every 2 to 5 years to avoid any more damage. If the filter proves to be somewhat smaller and that there are lots of tree debris and algae, it can only be useful for 1 to 2 years. DE (Diatomaceous Earth) Filter Among the filters, this is considered to be the most effective kind. It can trap dirt with size of 3 to 5 microns small enough for you to actually see it. “…For a DE filter to work, you must sprinkle DE powder all over the filter grids, which are found within the filter tank. This powder isn't hard to find and, in fact, very affordable. These are actually diatom skeletons that look like little sponges. These sponges are the main reasons why the filter can trap the dirt…” Added Xaviera Arata Further information, resources and reviews of the best but reasonable priced hot tubs by clicking: http://www.CheapHotTubs.me End
