Sand filters filter out debris down to about 40
microns.

Cartridge filters use a paper-type cartridge as
the filter media.

They are not as efficient as DE filters but have
the same water quality as sand filtration.

Catridge filters are very difficult to maintain
than other filters.

However, manufacturers have come up with new
filters that are a bit easier to maintain.

DE filters

DE filters use diatomaceous earth as a filter
media.

The DE filter has plastic grids covered with a
plastic-type of fabric.

A layer of filter powder covers the grids and
does the filtering.

As the water passes through the filter powder,
any debris down to 5-8 microns is filtered out.

swimming pools.
