Most of the time, a single pool has a single type of filter you have to keep track of. However, there are three different types of filters that can be used equally well as part of a swimming pool’s filtration system.

Diatomaceous Earth or D.E. filters are considered the most efficient filters you can use, being able to trap particles as tiny as 3-5 microns across. D.E. grids of filters have to be cleaned twice a year quite thoroughly to prevent them from gumming up. Professional pool tech Plano TX services can help you with pool filter cleaning and replacement.
 
Sand filters are also quite popular and efficient, and they require a cleaning process known as backwashing, which entails turning a knob that makes the water flow backwards through the filter.

To clean them, all you have to do is remove the cartridge and hose it down, then put it back into place. Unfortunately, cartridge filters will only filter out larger particles of about 25 to 100 microns across.
