Jandy Cartridge Filters | Jandy CL Cartridge Filters 340 Square Feet 460 Square Feet 580 Square Feet | This is a four cartridge filter and currently our most popular model. Our customers like this filter because of the simplicity and overall lower cost of maintenance. With this filter, you usually only need to clean it once every six months, unless you get unusually high usage in your pool or your pool turns green. Both of those things will load up the filter and require cleaning sooner than 6 months. These filters do not require a backwash valve, which helps to improve the overall flow through your pool system. |
Jandy Cartridge Filters | Jandy CS Cartridge Filters 100 – 250 Square Feet | These are smaller cartridge filters, primarily for fountains or spas. We do not recommend using them on swimming pools, unless you want to clean the cartridges every few weeks. A single cartridge filter (regardless of size of cartridge) will fill up 5-6 times faster than a four cartridge filter. This is because in the smaller filters, the water typically flows through the filter material 3-4x faster and the debris packs in more tightly. We also don’t recommend the larger sizes in this series because it has the same size cartridge with more pleats tucked in the cartridge. It makes it harder to clean and really does not give you substantially longer filter runs. |
Jandy DE Filters | Jandy DEV DE Filters 48 Square Feet 60 Square Feet | Jandy DE filters feature the most updated design in the industry. The tanks are the heaviest we have come across and the handles on top are a nice feature (why didn’t the other guys think about this?) Jandy offers three different types of backwash valves for these filters Push Pull backwash valve – this is the simplest option Multiport backwash valve – this offers more features (that are seldom used) NeverLube style backwash valve – this offers the best flow |
Jandy Sand Filters | Jandy JS Sand Filters 24″Diameter (60 GPM) 30″Diameter (100 GPM) | We don’t install many sand filters in this market, but if you want a sand filter, we would be happy to get you a sand filter. In a few cases, they are probably the best type of filter. These filters are offered in two different sizes and you can use three different types of backwash valves with them. Consult us for our recommendations. |
