Picture this: It's a sunny afternoon, and your above-ground pool is inviting with water so clear you can see every ripple and even the name on the boy left on the pool bottom. That's the magic of a quality filter, and at ProPools, we make it easy to achieve. Our above ground pool filters come in sand, cartridge, and D.E. varieties, all priced at or below wholesale to give you unbeatable value. Choosing wisely isn't just about cleanliness—it's about enjoying your pool without constant worry.

 

Sand filters lead the pack in popularity for good reason, they are the original method of swimming pool water filtration. They use a lateral system to distribute and collect water, trapping dirt in the sand bed. With particle capture down to about 20-40 microns, they're efficient for most pools, and backwashing via the multi-port valve keeps things running smoothly. Sand filtration is a straightforward, budget-friendly option that delivers reliable results.

 

If you're after finer filtration, cartridge filters double the precision, snagging smaller particles for noticeably clearer water. Easy to clean with a simple soak and rinse, they reduce the need for chemicals, saving you money over time.

 

D.E. filters take it further, filtering out impurities as tiny as 1-3 microns for that professional-level sparkle. By coating internal grids with porous powder, they act like a natural barrier, though you'll want to re-coat after cleaning to maintain peak performance.

 

For the ultra small pool, we recommend starting with something like our CaliMar® CMARITX12 Above Ground Pool Sand Filter system—its compact design and single-speed pump ensure efficient operation without overwhelming your setup. For the best of performance on mid-size to extra large above ground pools, we recommend something like the Doughboy (HII) ESPA-SilenPlus Variable Speed Pump and 23" Sand Filter Combination.
