Hayward is one of the leading manufactures of swimming pool parts and accessories. It also offers high performance pool filters. Swimming pool filters remove fine particulates and other debris from the pool water to prevent clogs and to keep the water clean and clear. Hayward pool filters come in three primary types: cartridge filters, sand filters, and Diatomaceous Earth (DE) filters.

Hayward microban cartridge filter for swimming pools

Cartridge filters use a paper-type cartridge as the filter medium. They do not filter pool particulates very effectively, and they usually produce the same water quality as that of sand filtration. Because cartridge filters do not have a very good reputation in the pool industry, some manufacturers including Hayward, have come up with cartridge filters with technologically advanced features.

The Hayward microban cartridge filter for swimming pools makes use of a cluster of reusable cartridge elements to filter pool water particulates in various surface areas that range from 225 to 525 square feet. These Hayward pool filters feature a dirt-holding capacity that lasts from several filter cycles to one whole season even without cleaning. The filter tank of a Hayward cartridge filter is made of an enhanced PermaGlass material that can provide years of effective operation and tons of crystal clear pool water.

Hayward sand pool filters

Sand filters use graded sands as a medium in filtering particulates and debris in the water. The pool water enters the tank by passing through the diffuser. Once the water reaches the bed of sand, all the dirt would be trapped and contained between the grains of sand. As the water continues to reach the filter bottom, it enters the laterals and goes back to the swimming pool.

Hayward sand pool filters are the latest in pool filter technology. They can filter out debris measuring as little as 40 microns in size. These Hayward pool filters are made of durable materials that are resistant to corrosion. They feature an advanced, self-cleaning lateral under-drain system that provides effective water flow and balanced backwashing.

Hayward Diatomaceous Earth (DE) filters

Hayward DE filters use diatomaceous earth as the filtering media that filters the particulates in swimming pools. These DE filters have plastic grids that are covered with either a plastic or fabric.
