Each equipment area is different and what suits one area will not suit another, so always seek advice from a professional before choosing the type of filter system to suit your pool and equipment area.

This is an example of someone who found the frequent cleaning out of a cartridge element and the restriction of flow without it, difficult so they changed to a media filter, as they had one in the past and preferred it

Why do most people prefer a media filter over a cartridge filter

• Less ongoing costs, no replacement filters to buy every 2 years
• Less maintenance, backwashing is often monthly and takes less work than hosing cartridge elements
• Glass media filters can be used with mineral magnesium pools (cartridge not recommended)
