As water moves through the filter, dirt accumulates in the spaces between the sand particles, causing the pressure in the vessel to rise as water finds it harder to pass through. This signals you to clean or “backwash” the filter. Simply reverse the water flow and “knock out” the dirt. What could be simpler? Since Penguin Pools sizes the filters correctly, you will only have to clean out your filter once every 4 – 6 weeks. For increased performance, you can also use a different type of media in the tank like, glass media.

With ClearPro Technology, your pool filter creates a final barrier to the small particles sand cannot stop, including the finest dust particles, algae, and pollens. The result is dazzling water clarity.

Cartridge filters use a paper filter to catch items as water passes through it. When the cartridge gets clogged up you have to take it out and rinse it to get all the debris out. Cartridge filters generally last 1-2 pool seasons and then they need to get replaced.

While cartridge filters aren’t typically used by Penguin Pools, they do have their uses. Certain fountains require cartridge filters as they create less turbulence. Clean & Clear® Plus Filters have a corrosion-resistant, injection molded filter tank for superior strength and reliability. The cartridge assembly uses four easy to clean, non-woven, polyester cartridges. Each filter is supplied with a bulkhead union set for easy installation.
