I am no expert, but I started with a used above ground pool and a DE filter. The DE filter caused me nothing but grief, poor circulation, way too much bumping and replacing the DE powder. I now have a sand filter and it is a breeze. My pool is under a tree, so there is plenty of debris, but that's what the skimmer is for. You need to keep that cleaned out no matter what kind of filter you have.




Yes and No- the answer is personal and dependent on weather you prefer cheaper esaiser ownership, or cleaner water with more cost and maintenance.


De is a better filter medium, but at the expense of consuming and replacing the filter media each backflush. A sand filter will go down to 10 microns. DE filters down to 2 microns, but the flush process removes your DE from the filter grids and you need to replace it per flush. This process is messy and a bit more time consuming and as a result most De filter go longer between backflushes than their sand counterparts.


Backflushing a sand filter more often to keep pressure low is easier in that the process does not remove the sand filter media like DE.

When do you need to find an air filter replacement?

It is recommended that air filters for cars and trucks should be changed every 15,000 miles or once a year. This standard is for city vehicles and would be different for those who drive in rural areas. Air filters in rural areas are subject to more dirt accumulation and may need more frequent replacement.
