According to our pros, the sand filter is the easiest to maintain.

Comments From Our Pros

Answer: Cartridge filter
Explanation: The easiest pool filter to maintain is typically a cartridge filter. They require less frequent cleaning than sand filters and don’t need backwashing like DE filters. You simply remove the cartridge, rinse it with a hose, and replace it. This simplicity makes cartridge filters a popular choice for pool owners looking for low-maintenance options. Additionally, they offer good filtration efficiency, making them effective for most residential pools.
