SW Pool Filter
An SW pool filter refers to a saltwater pool filter, which is part of the filtration system used in saltwater swimming pools. Saltwater pools are often seen as a low-maintenance alternative to traditional chlorine pools. Instead of adding chlorine directly, saltwater pools use a salt chlorine generator to convert salt into chlorine, which sanitizes the water. However, even in saltwater pools, proper filtration is still essential to keep the water clean and clear. Since saltwater pools generate their own chlorine, the need for manual chlorine addition is reduced, but filtration still ensures clean and safe water. The chlorine produced in saltwater pools is generally gentler on skin and eyes, and the water feels softer. With a saltwater pool, you can reduce the amount of other chemicals, such as algaecides and stabilizers, because the saltwater system helps maintain water balance. Saltwater systems typically provide more stable water conditions, reducing the chances of sudden changes in pool chemistry.
