Pool Pumps, Filters & Heaters

Every pool is required to have a filter to collect debris from the water and maintain an acceptable health standard. Pool filtration systems typically include one or more drains in the pool floor and skimmer drains in the pool wall around the waterline. Pool filtration begins with the filter’s inlet pipe that allows for the flow of dirty water into a tank. With a little help from gravity, the water is then filtered through a fine sand or a cartridge that collects dirt and debris. The filtered water can then be returned through an outlet pipe. 

If your pool uses a sand filter, over time the collected dirt and debris will make the system less efficient and it will need to be backwashed and drained into the sewage system. If your pool uses a cartridge filter, the cartridges need to be washed a couple times a year and replaced every few years. Our certified pool experts offer these service and include a professional check of all pool systems in our pool opening and pool closing services. The filtration is also connected to the municipal water line or well so that water can be added to the pool due to water loss from backwashing the filter, regular swimmer activity and evaporation.
