Did you know most pools use chlorine to sanitize? In fact, 85% of pools use chlorine, and about 12% of swimming pools use salt water.
Sand filters are a low maintenance filtration option since they’re designed to use backwashing to wash out any debris that has been filtered through. You rarely even have to open the tank, and they can last up to 20-25 years!
