The sand above ground pool filter has been around for a long time and are relatively easy to maintain. The require to be back-washed several times a year during the season. They do not use regular sand like you find on a ocean front beach, but a extremely fine sand. They do a great job and are similarly priced against DE filters. The filter media, (sand) stays inside the housing and can last for several years before needing to be changed.

What Brand of Pool Pumps and Filters are best?
We purchased our swimming pool a couple of years ago. The equipment package that came with ours was all Pentair products. From our pump and filter, to our pressure side pool cleaner w/auxiliary pump, to our DE filter. Even our spa blower is from Pentair. We didn’t chose this brand, but it has operated flawlessly for us, and is very quiet operating. So I have thought to myself, did I get the good stuff. Are the pool pumps and filters I have are good?
