Hayward Sand Filters

Hayward is the leader in the industry when it comes to filters. There are three different types of filters, Sand, DE Filters and Cartridge. Sand filters are perhaps the oldest and even the most widely used filter for swimming pool owners. There are plenty of sand filters that you can find in your local swimming pool supply store but those filters are not as top notch as Hayward. Hayward Sand Filters use a special type of sand called # 20 Silica Sand. You may not think that sand really makes a difference but it does. This type of sand has sharper edges than other types of sand. This sand will separate debris particles and allow the water to filtrate at a higher rate than other filters. As the clean sand lands the large particles in your pool the sand removes the debris. The sand in these filters can be cleaned by simply backwashing the filter. This is a method when the reverse water flow travels through the filter and to the waste line. By doing this on a regular basis you won't have to change your sand too often in a season. Hayward has 4 Sand Filters that would make a great addition to your swimming pool. The Pro Series Plus, The Pro Series Side Mount, Pro Series Top Mount and the S200.
