The life expectancy of a sand filter depends on the quality of maintenance, but with proper care and regular cleaning it can last over five years. Here are some tips for maximizing its lifespan:
* Clean or backwash the filter regularly (at least every three months).
* Replace the sand when needed (usually after four to five years).
* Shut off the pump and perform deep cleanings two times a year. Following these steps will help your sand filter last longer and keep your pool in top condition!
