Pool Filter Problems Solved by Cartridge Filters

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

The new pool filter has enabled people to overcome the shortcomings of old filters. The installation of cartridge filters have made it possible for pool users to overcome the drawbacks of filtering systems like a noisy pool filter, popping valve and leaking backs. The repairs of the old filters are also expensive and it is time consuming too.

On installation of a new astral cartridge filter, people can overcome the drawback of a noisy pool filter that is very annoying and disturbs the neighbors too. The modern filters are smooth flowing and silent. They execute filtration much rapidly without making any noise and filtering out minute to minute particles that remain suspended in the water. In old filters, noise results from overflow, big size of the filter, wear and tear. But in the new filters none of these factors can generate sound.

Another annoying problem of traditional filters is a popping valve. The moment the filter pressure rises to 15 psi, the valve of the filter pops off. This is missing in cartridge filters, as they are fitted with a cartridge filtering medium and there are no valves to pop out. So, installing such pool products become a great relieve for users.

A leaking back is another problem that is witnessed in pool filters. This mainly happens in DE filters due to air leak or a tear of the filter element. In cartridge type filters, leaks happen when the cartridge that is used as the filtering medium gets damaged. However, if they are maintained and replaced regularly then there is no possibility of any leaks to occur.
