There are basically three types of pool filters, they are (1) silica sand filters, (2) cartridge filters, and (3) diatomaceous earth or D.E. filters. Sand filters are normally heavier because of the large quantity of sand in it. Cartridge filters operate through paper cartridges. The DE filters filter the water most efficiently in comparison the two other counterparts but are very expensive and seek more maintenance.
