Hayward Filter systems
Hayward® offers the very latest in pool filter technology
ensuring your pool water is clear and clean. Our filters' simplistic
operation and low maintenance requirements set new standards for
performance, value and dependability. Molded of tough, durable,
colorfast reinforced thermo-plastic Hayward filters deliver reliable,
all-weather performance with minimal care.
There are three popular methods of filtration – Sand, Cartridge,
and Diatomaceous Earth (D.E).
Sand
In this method, impurities are extracted from the water utilizing
sand to collect and attract the debris. Sand filters must be backwashed
(running it in reverse) to unload the water waste. This is a manual
process that must be performed every few weeks. Sand filters trap
debris as small as 20 to 40 microns.
Cartridge
Cartridge filters have a greater surface area than sand allowing
for fewer clogs and easier maintenance. Cartridge filters are designed
to run at lower pressure than sand which puts less backpressure
on the pump, providing more flow and turnover. Cartridge filters
should be cleaned once or twice a season by simply hosing them off.
Cartridge element filters trap debris as small as 10 to 15 microns.
DE
Diatomaceous earth is mined and is the fossilized exoskeletons of
tiny diatoms. They are used to coat "grids" in the filter
housing and act as tiny sieves allowing for the removal of debris
as small as 5 microns. Once the pressure rises, the filter is backwashed
just like a sand filter and then "recharged" with more
DE powder. DE filters trap debris as small as 2 - 5 microns.
