Pool Filters

The real heart of any above ground pool is the pump and filter system. It keeps the water moving in the pool helps to remove debris, aids in the distribution of chlorine in the pool and filters for small particulates in the water. Without this system, your pool will become a stagnant pool of slime.



Following the flow of water, the system starts with the skimmer. This is an opening in the pool wall below the water line that has a container mounted on the outside of the wall and has a basket inside it to catch large debris. A hose runs from the skimmer to the pump, Which is gravity fed. A hose now runs from the pump discharge into the top of the filter unit. The water now travels through the filter, Which has a layer of special sand to remove small particulates that could cloud the water. From the filter the water travels through another hose that is attached to the pool wall just under the water line. This is the discharge and is what makes the water swirl around the pool Lazily.
