Buying a pool with a pump

Pool with sand filter pump or cartridge pump

There are several types of pool pumps to choose from. Each system works by pumping water from the pool through a filter. The filter traps dirt and debris, and the clean water is then returned to the pool. Pumps differ in capacity, meaning how much water they circulate, and in the type of filter media they use. When you buy a pool and pump together, you know the pump fits your pool size. At EXIT you can choose between two types of filter pumps.

Pool with cartridge pump

These pumps use replaceable cartridges. Paper cartridges filter out large and medium sized dirt particles such as leaves, insects and sand. Cartridge filters are affordable and easy to replace, but they need regular cleaning or replacement, usually every two to four weeks depending on use. This makes them a simple option when buying a pool and pump in one set.

EXIT also offers a more sustainable alternative to paper cartridges: filter wadding for cartridge pumps. The wadding contains fine fibres that also capture smaller particles. You can wash and reuse the wadding without detergent or softener. When using filter wadding in a cartridge pump, always place the included foam base underneath the wadding to prevent it from being drawn into the water flow.

Pool with sand filter pump

A sand filter pump filters even smaller particles than a cartridge filter and does not require frequent filter changes. The sand lasts for around 180 days, which means very little maintenance in between. If you want a durable pool and pump combination with less maintenance, a sand filter pump is a strong choice.

You can also replace the silica sand in the pump with filter wadding. A 400 gram box of wadding equals around 14 kilograms of filter sand. The wadding’s fine fibres capture even the smallest particles, such as sand and algae, for crystal clear water.

The right pump for every size frame pool

The larger the pool, the more water needs to be circulated to keep it clean. That is why pumps come with different capacities. If you are buying a pool with a pump, we recommend choosing a model that already includes the right pump for your pool and pump setup. On our website, each pool has the most suitable pump pre selected for you.

You can also buy a separate pump, but make sure to check the pump capacity carefully. If you are unsure, we recommend choosing a slightly stronger filter pump. A stronger pool and pump combination will keep your water cleaner and clearer.
