Before we go into choosing the right pool filter for you, we must fist familiarize ourselves with the available choices. Much like choosing food, you know you’re hungry but you’ll need to see a menu first before ordering.
Let’s look at the different types of pool filters available out there. How much they cost (relatively), how they function, and how much work is needed in order to keep them in perfect running condition.
Before we go any further, we’d like to stress that pool filters are for filtering out particles that are invisible (or almost invisible) to the naked eye. For larger debris like leaves and bugs, you’ll have to scoop them out manually (or bribe someone to do it for you).
