A garden pool is a great way to spend an active summer holiday on your property. It has been one of the main attractions for many years, especially for children, but also for your friends. However, in order for swimming in the pool to be purely enjoyable, the water in it must be kept absolutely clean. This requires a filter. Which one to choose?
Various types of garden pools are currently available.
In the past, garden pools were only available as small inflatable models designed primarily for children. Today, this type of pool can also be successfully used by adults - for them, expansion pools and the largest models - on the counter have been created. To keep stagnant water in a large pond clean for a long time, a suitable pool filter must be installed in it.
The water in the pool must be clean
A pool filled with water once a season can easily become dirty – sand from the garden can be poured into it, or greasy residue from sunscreen and sunscreen can be left behind. Dry leaves or insects can float on the surface. To avoid this, it is necessary to have a pump and filter adapted to the size of the device. The pump is connected to the pool by two hoses – dirty water enters it on one side, and clean water flows out on the other, which ends up in the pool. The pump should be turned on every day for at least several hours. During this time, it is forbidden to use the pool.
Synthetic filters can be used up to 6 months.
If you are wondering which pool filter to choose, you may be interested in synthetic models. They are made of materials with a lot of fibers, which makes them durable. Some of them can be replaced even after six months, but in the meantime it is worth cleaning the filter. Many of these types of filters have bactericidal plugs that additionally trap contaminants and make swimming in the home pool even safer. Some synthetic filters, due to their structure, provide a faster flow of water, which leads to less wear on the pump.
Paper filters can also be cleaned.
Filters of this type have a much shorter service life than synthetic ones. Manufacturers usually indicate 2-4 weeks. At the same time, they should also be cleaned with a strong water jet. However, their advantage is that they are more environmentally friendly than synthetic filters. If the good of the environment is important to you, you should choose a paper filter.
Sand pumps do not need filters
In addition to filters, you have another use case in the pool - a sand pump. To use it, you need quartz sand No. 20 or glaze. This is a solution that, due to the high price, is not the most popular, but in general is more profitable than a conventional pump with a paper filter.
When replacing the filter, remember safety precautions
If you want to replace the filter, you must make sure that the pump is disconnected from the power supply. Then remove the ring from the filter housing and then the covers. After removing the cartridge, check the inside of the pump for debris. In this case, they must be washed. A very dirty filter must be replaced, otherwise it is sufficient to rinse it with a strong jet of water.
Keeping water clean requires more than just a pump and a filter.
In addition to a pump and filter for a slatted or expansion pool, you will also need pool chemicals. A surface skimmer will also help keep the water in the right condition. It will successfully clean the surface of the water when connected to the pumps, and it will not be difficult to collect dirt - it is equipped with a convenient handle. It can also be used as a pool chemical dispenser, so it does two things well.
It is also worth having a special foot mat, which, attached to the stairs, will remind you to wipe your feet from grass and sand before entering the pool. This simple action will significantly reduce the amount of dirt that can settle to the bottom. In the group of accessories that help keep the pool clean, it is worth highlighting the mesh to capture dirt. This is a simple but very effective piece of equipment. The mesh can be placed on an aluminum stick, making it easy to use.
Swimming pool cover will prevent pollution
Another handy accessory that will help you keep your pool water clean is the cover. Thanks to him, insects, leaves and other impurities will not get into the water. It not only does its job of keeping the pool clean, but also prevents accidental drops into the tank - which is especially important if small children live in the house. Another option for covering the pool, designed for swimming, is a special dome. It works great both as a protection against pollution, and from rain or the scorching sun, and at the same time looks very impressive.
