Finding the right Sand Filter for your company
Filters are the most important accessory used in the treatment of swimming pool water. Their purpose is to eliminate suspended particles from the circulating water, thus improving the clarity of the water. The principle of operation consists of passing the swimming pool water through a media bed consisting of sand.
