Sand filtration is perhaps the most common form of filtration found in swimming pools. This tends to be due to is ease of use and realativly easy maintenance. For this reason Sand filtration is very popular amongst domestic and smaller commercial facilities. A pressure-fed sand filter is typically placed in line immediately after the water pump. The filter typically contains a media such as graded sand or more recently a many filters have been using recycled crushed glass as a filter media. |

A sand filter will generally filter turbid water of particulates down to between 30 – 40 microns in size. Sand filters need to be periodically back washed as contaminants reduce water flow and increase back pressure.
