Pool filters are essential for keeping your pool clean and healthy. There are a few different types of pool filters and their benefits: sand, mechanical, ozone, and ultraviolet.
Sand Filters: Sand filters are the most common type of filter in pools. They remove dirt, leaves, and other debris from the water. They also eliminate chlorine odors and colors. However, sand filters do not remove heavy metals or chemicals from the water.

Mechanical Pool Filters: Mechanical filters use impellers to move the water through a series of screens. They can remove large particles and debris as well as chlorine and other chemicals. Mechanical pool filters can be expensive to maintain, but they are typically easier to replace than sand filters.
Ozone Pool Filters: Ozone is a gas that is created when oxygen combines with chlorine or bromine molecules in the water. Ozone helps to oxidize contaminants so they cannot form toxins in the water.
It is not effective at removing heavy metals or chemicals from the water. Ozone pool filters can be expensive to install, but they may be more efficient at controlling bacteria levels than sand or mechanical filters.
Ultraviolet (UV) Pool Filters: UV pool filters use light waves to kill bacteria and other contaminants in the water.
They are more efficient than ozone filtration systems at controlling bacteria levels but are less effective at removing heavy metals or chemicals from the water. UV pool filters can be more expensive to install than others.
