A swimming pool without a filter quickly becomes a dirty mess. Without a filter pump, the bacteria and dirt will remain in the pool. In no time, your swimming pool will become a breeding pond for diseases instead of a healthy lake. You can find tips to clean your pool in this article.
Why do you need a filter pump at a swimming pool?
In summary, you need a pool filter for the following reasons:
- Removing dirt and insects from the pool
- Better spread of chemicals for the control of bacteria
- The filter pump is, therefore, the most critical part of your swimming pool installation.
When should you filter the pool?
If you use the Pool A lot, it is essential that the swimming pool is sufficiently filtered. How much time you need to filter depends on the filter installation you installed. Choose your filter installation based on the capacity of the plant and the contents of your pool and make sure that the pool water goes through the filter every 4 hours.
To determine the capacity of your filter, look for the flow that can be used by the screen and the filter pump. In the best case, these are identical, but make sure they are at least close to each other. It makes no sense to place a filter that can 22m ³/u when putting a filter pump of 11m ³/U.
An example:
Suppose you have a swimming pool of 10m long and 5m wide. The depth of the swimming pool is for the entire pool 1, 50m. This ensures a total content of 75m ³ water. To filter this pool in 4u, you need a filter installation that can filter minimum 18, 75m ³/U.
In the offer of our webshop you can buy the following filter pump and filter:
Filter pump: Badu 90/20 Monofasig, also available in a three-phase version.
Filter: Sand filter TR100
You could choose to save on your filter installation by selecting a filter pump with a capacity of 13m ³/u and a corresponding filter that can filter 14m ³/U. But then you immediately need more time to screen the entire pool. The price you save in the purchase of your filter pump will ultimately pay you back in energy consumption. So always think carefully when selecting your filter installation.
In Summer we recommend filtering minimum 12h per day with a maximum interval of 2h. This comes down to 6h filtering and then 2h pause and repeating that constantly. That way you will need a lot fewer chemicals, and you will always have a clear swimming pool. All dirt and insects are immediately transported to the filter.
In Winter, the filter installation does not have to work. We let the installation run for 2h/day to keep the installation running smoothly. But the installation should not be filtered. This circulation avoids problems when you start up the pool in spring. Compare it to a car that is standing still for too long in the winter, which can also give problems. Just do this when the filter installation is frost-free.
How can you filter a pool?
There are several options for filtering a swimming pool. It is essential that you choose a filter system that fits your pool. For example, you do not need a filter installation for a small set of tools that can move 20m ³/U. The same applies to a pattern filter at a swimming pool with a capacity of more than 40m ³.
