Cartridge filtration has been available for a relatively long time, but has only recently begun to enjoy rapid growth and acceptance.I have used a cartridge filter on my own pool for the last 5 years, it saves water with no backwashing and replacement cartridges are no more expensive than a sand change.

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. The cartridge element can be removed and cleaned by pressure washing inside and out with a garden hose. Cartridge element filters trap debris as small as 10 to 15 microns.

Wish there was a way to clean your pool's filtration system without pouring gallons of water into the environment? Your wish is Hayward®'s command. Energy Efficient Large Capacity Filters has no backwashing; instead, you just rinse the filter elements with your garden hose, which saves 800 to 2,500 gallons of water every season. This not only saves you money on your water bill but also significantly reduces water waste.

Hayward filters offer a choice of 25sq ft, 50sq ft, 90sq ft or 120 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 Cartridge filter doesn’t require a multi-port valve, thereby using less electricity.

Utilizing a cluster of four reusable cartridge elements, its non-corrosive top closure plate prevents elements from lifting and allowing unfiltered water to pass into the pool or spa during operation, ensuring your pool water remains clean. SwimClear is constructed with extra durable reinforced copolymer material to meet the demands of the toughest applications and environmental conditions, including in-floor cleaning cycles. SwimClear filters will serve up years of trouble-free operation and crystal clear, sparkling water-all season long.

Wishes can come true—water conservation, utilities bills reduction, cleaning time minimized and your pool experience maximized!
