A '''filter cartridge''' separates solid particles with a porous element (usually synthetic fabric) wrapped around a cylindrical core as a filter medium. This cylinder forms the cartridge, which can be more easily removed or replaced than loose filter media, such as sand. | |||
==Types== | |||
There are two main categories of cartridge filters: | |||
# '''Surface''' cartridge filters, also called "fabric cartridges," are the most common for use in residential pool and spa installations. Their filter medium is a single layer of synthetic fabric, attached by pleats to a central core, forming a cylindrical shape. Water enters the filter through a baffle system, enabling it to flow evenly over the fabric, which traps small particles. These filters may incorporate a single cartridge, or multiple ones. | |||
#'''Depth''' cartridge filters are thicker, and permit filtration at a greater volume. | |||
