Pool filters are available in various types and configurations that change according to the filtration method used. Some use sand, some rely on diatomaceous earth, and others use polyester. ArchiPro features only the best pool filters from the top manufacturers in New Zealand, an important part of a wider range of high-quality pool equipment that you can rely on.

Types and styles of pool filters

There are a number of types of pool filters that are available in New Zealand with some of the most common including:

Sand filters

These are the most commonly used solution, as they’re easy to maintain and clean. Pool filter sand typically has a size between 0.3 and 0.5 millimetres.

Diatomaceous earth filters

This type of swimming pool filter uses the skeletal remains of diatoms to naturally filter out contaminants in water. They’re known for their reliability, although they have a higher cost than other filters.

Cartridge filters

These use a special polyester net to trap dirt and debris. They’re easy to maintain and have a higher filtration capacity than most options.

The advantages of high-quality pool filters

Installing high-quality pool filters has several benefits that make them well worth your while. High-quality pool filters are more effective at what they do, contributing to a safer and healthier pool by removing finer particles which better improves the water quality of the pool. They’re also designed to be more robust and reliable, decreasing the need for regular maintenance and repairs. A high-quality swimming pool filter uses less energy to work because it eliminates backwashing, which lower-quality solutions don’t.

How to choose a pool filter that’s right for you

There are a few things to consider before choosing a pool filter that’s right for you. First, you’ll need to determine the required filter flow rate. This can be calculated by measuring the size, area, and volume of the pool. The filter’s flow rate should match the specifications of your pool pump. You should also think about the type of pool filter you think will work best. Each type performs in a slightly different way and starts at a different price point so picking one with the right balance between the two for you is important.
