27 pool filters at a checked price under $1,500.
Under $1,500 covers nearly all sand, cartridge and DE filters for residential pools, from small above-ground units to full-size filters for larger inground pools. Sand filters are the cheapest to run, cartridge filters clean finer particles and use less water, and DE filters give the clearest water but need more upkeep.
Match the filter’s rated flow to your pump and the pool’s volume, since an undersized filter restricts flow and a pump larger than the filter’s rating can damage it. Check the connection size, the cost and availability of replacement cartridges or media, and whether a multiport valve or backwash setup suits how much work you want to do.
