Your pool will probably be supplied with a filtration system, usually a cartridge or sand filter. When you run the pump, water is drawn from the pool and passes through the filter before returning to the pool. The filter will collect small particles, debris, insects and dead algae thus removing them from the water to keep it clear.

Tip 1  Run your filtration / circulation system every day for enough time to filter the complete capacity of the pool at least once and ideally 1.5 times every 24 hours.

Tip 2  After prolonged or excessive pool use on 'hot summer days', consider extending the filtration / circulation running time.

Tip 3  Over a period of time, the filter will become less effective as it becomes clogged with debris. This will impair its efficiency and reduce the amount of water circulating through the system.

Regular cleaning of your filtration system is therfore essential to ensure it continues to perform effectively. Filter sand should be chemically cleaned anuallly using BioGuard Deep Cleanse. Cartridge elements will need to be cleaned more frequently, at intervals of 4 - 6 weeks using SpaGuard Filter Brite.
