pool filter

Removes swimming debris

A pool filter is a device that removes debris, dirt, and contaminants from swimming pool water by passing it through a filtering medium.

The three main types use sand, cartridges, or diatomaceous earth.

Pool filters work alongside pumps and chemical treatment to keep water clear and safe for swimming: The pool filter needs to be cleaned every few weeks.
