You can easily maintain your pool with any of the filters available on the market today. However, researching before choosing a cartridge filter system may save you time and money. These filters require little maintenance.

Difficulty: Challenging
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Choose between two types of pool filters. Either one that has to be replaced often, and so is individual cartridges are less expensive or a very high-end filter that will last for up to five years, but come with a considerably higher price tag. You can also clean the less expensive filters a couple of times a year by just hosing them off, to make them last longer.

  2. Step 2

    Choose a Jandy cartridge filter system. They are designed with lots of user-friendly features that make them easy to install and maintain, like a clean/dirty gauge that lets you know when the filter needs changing. The best part is its one-step cleaning; just pull the filter out of the housing and hose it off.

  3. Step 3

    Buy a Pentair pool filter and get clean, clear water effortlessly. The system features recyclable filter cartridges, a fiberglass reinforced tank that is chemical resistant and a self-cleaning one-inch drain. Check out H2O Pool Products to find out more on this filter.

  4. Step 4

    Feel confident that you can properly filter your above ground pool with a Hayward cartridge filter system. They have an injection molded plastic tank to prevent corrosion and the top screws off so you can just reach in and remove the filter.

  5. Step 5

    Invest in a filter system that has a cluster of up to four reusable cartridge elements so you won't have to clean your filter but once a season. These swimming pool filters are heavy-duty and tamper proof. The tanks are made of PermaGlass, which is extra durable.

  • Pool filters should have locking mechanisms, yet be able to open easily for filter changes. Tanks should be corrosive resistant and have high filtering capacities and at least a 1 year warranty.
