Cartridge
filters are used for mainly above ground pools and
spas. Diatomaceous Earth (DE) filters are rarely used.
Your dealer will be able to advise you on the most
suitable filter for your pool.
Turnover
Rate
The “turnover rate” is the time taken
for the total volume of water which is equal to the
pool’s capacity to pass through the filter.
Eg. If your pool holds 14,000 gallons of water, the
turnover rate would be the time it takes for the 14,000
gallons to pass through the filter.
Most domestic pools, with an average volume of 15,000
gallons, will have a turnover rate of approximately
6-8 hours.
The size of the filter you require is determined by
your pool size.
