Filters

All Miami pools need a pool filter. Dust, dirt, leaves, pollen, bugs, and other debris get into your pool water. They may fall in, be blown in by the wind, or get accidentally carried in by swimmers. A pool filter is in charge of getting that nasty stuff out. It helps leave the swimming pool water sparkling and clear, perfect to swim around in. 

That being said, buying a pool filter isn't a "get it and forget it" type of thing. There are occasions when a pool filter needs to be maintained or have parts replaced. When you're shopping for pool filter parts, it is essential to know exactly which make and model you're looking at. Otherwise, you may waste time and money on parts that don't work for your specific filter.

How to Identify a Pool Filter

It may sound impossible to find exactly the right parts and accessories for the filter in mind, but it is not. In fact, we have three simple ways you can identify which pool filter you are working with. They are:

#1 Check the Filter’s Information Tag 

Every pool filter comes with a spec and model information sticker on its tank. You'll want to find this sticker because it lists the make and model of the filter. The model number of your specific unit should be marked, as well as a serial number. With this information handy, we can help you find the exact right parts f

Without a pool pump & filter, the water in a pool would get pretty nasty, pretty quickly. Have you ever wondered why water left outside in a bucket begins to grow all sorts of green stuff? It's because the water is stagnant, or not moving. A pool pump & filter keep the water moving, meaning there's no time for algae and other unhealthy microbes to begin to grow.

Whether you have a backyard pool or you're looking to care for a commercial pool, it is essential that you know these parts work. If the parts aren't correctly functioning or you're doing your part the right way, it could mean disaster for your water.

How to Operate These Parts

To put it very plainly, the pump pulls the pool water from the skimmer(s) on the pool wall and the main drain(s) on or near the bottom of the pool. This water flows through the pump to the filter. The filter is the important part that removes dirt and debris. Once the water is filtered, it flows through the plumbing to the heater, if you have one. If not, this newly-cleaned water returns to the pool through the return jets on the pool walls.

A pool pump generally has a big, round part at the front and then extends backward. This is the strainer pot. It looks and acts like a strainer.

All pool filters fall into one of these three categories:

1. Cartridge Filter

Your backyard pool should be a little slice of paradise. This is only possible if your water is clear and clean, which requires a pool pump to keep it in this condition. Pool pumps are made from an electric motor and a wet end. Pool water must be circulated daily, and both these parts must be in working order to do so. The question is- which is the best?

Your 3 Options for Pool Pumps

Without a pool pump to circulate the water and a filter to eliminate toxins, your swimming pool would get stagnant, unhealthy, and dirty. We encourage you to take advantage of the low prices you'll find on our website. It's never been easier to find pool pumps that are high-quality and low-price. Which one is right for you? You have three main options. They are:

Inground Pumps

Some pools are constructed deep in the ground, while others are placed on top of the ground. The main differentiation between inground pool pumps and above-ground pool pumps is their size. This is due to the fact that an inground pool circulates greater volumes of water with higher flow rates. We have a variety of options for inground pool pumps for homeowners who have an inground pool.

Above Ground Pumps

Above-ground pumps need manual priming. They are installed below the water level and have “flooded suction.” This term means that gravity and atmospheric pressure feed the pump, without the need for a lot of vacuum pressure or suction pressure.

If you have an above-ground poo
