Cartridge Pool Filters & Filter Systems

Cartridge pool filters are the most convenient option for maintaining great water quality. There is very little maintenance to be done, and most importantly, no backwashing. The cartridges do require periodic cleaning and will lose effectiveness over time.

The cartridges should be replaced every 3-5 years or whenever your filter pressure gauge increases by more than 8-10 PSI in a 6 month period. Depending on where you live in Canada, a cartridge filter system works best for saltwater pools in established residential areas, as these cannot be drained into the sewer system. If there is a lot of debris or pollen in the air then a sand filter is more practical. We offer some of the best prices on swimming pool cartridge filters, some models can be shipped within Canada and we offer curbside pickup during regular business hours.

• How long do inground filter cartridges last? In a typical Canadian season, high-quality cartridges last 2–3 years before needing replacement.

• Are cartridge filters better for salt pools? Yes, they are highly recommended for saltwater systems as they prevent the need to discharge salt water during cleaning.

• How do I know when to clean my cartridge filter? Watch your pressure gauge. When the pressure rises 8-10 PSI above the clean starting pressure, it’s time to rinse the elements.
