How a Cartridge Filter Works
When water passes through a cartridge filter, dirt is screened out at the surface of the cartridge element. When clean, the element will trap larger particles, with finer particles being filtered out as the pores of the element become clogged by the larger debris.
Cartridge filters have a greater surface area than sand allowing for fewer clogs and easier maintenance. Cartridge filters are designed to run at lower pressure than sand which puts less back pressure on the pump, providing more flow and turnover. Cartridge filters should be cleaned once or twice a season by simply hosing them off. Cartridge element filters trap debris as small as 10 to 15 microns.

Multi-Element Cartridge Filters
The SwimClear™ Filter provides a way to keep your pool crystal clear without pouring gallons of water into the environment. Its large-capacity cartridge means NO backwashing; instead, you just rinse the filter elements with your garden hose, saving you up to 2,500 gallons of water every season.
Choose from 225, 325, 425 or 525 square feet of heavy-duty, dirt-holding capacity for extra-long cleaning cycles; this can translate to up to an entire season without cleaning! Another energy-efficient benefit is that the SwimClear doesn’t require a multi-port valve, thereby using less electricity.
