Why is the zeolite in my hayward filter getting in my above ground swimming pool?

Zeolite is lighter than sand and smaller than sand. It can get past the laterals and backwash out easier. When backwashing some of it will be in the valve. Rinsing will remove some of it but some will go to the pool.


What are the pros and cons and differences between sand and D. E. pool filters?

Gayle- There are basicly 3 types of filters. Sand, Cartridge, and D.E. filter. Differences being numerous, but in a nut shell is the ease of maintence and care and the size micron of particle they will filter out of the water. With that said sand is the easist to maintain regularly but, cart., and DE filters filter out smaller particles. DE filter out the smallest particle but, with the most difficult to maintain and repair etc. Hope this all helps, Mystic Waters Inc. GA There's a relatively new filter medium available called zeolite, which is a volcanic sand rather than the usual silica sand. Because each grain of zeolite has one hundred times the surface area of a grain of sand, zeolite used in a sand filter filters almost as effectively as a D.E. filter while being much easier to maintain. I'd absolutely recommend that you look into zeolite before buying a D.E. filter.

I just recently had a swimming pool built. What are the best swimming pool filters available?

Most home pools use a cartridge type filter. These are quite adequate and filter down to the 25 micron range. If you have health concerns, you should consider a diatomaceous earth filter, which can filter out particles in the size range of most bacteria and many virus cells. This is the type of filter used on most commercial swimming pools.
