Sand Filters for Above Ground Pools
Keep your above ground pool water clean, clear, and healthy with reliable sand filters from Doheny’s. Sand filtration is one of the most effective and affordable ways to trap dirt, debris, and oils from your pool water. Simple to use and easy to maintain, sand filters are a smart choice for pool owners who want low-maintenance filtration with excellent results.
How Do Pool Sand Filters Work?
Sand filters work by pushing water through a bed of specially graded pool filter sand. As water passes through, particles as small as 20 microns are captured, leaving your pool sparkling clean. When pressure builds up, a quick backwash clears the debris—no need to replace the sand often, making it one of the most cost-effective systems over time.
Top Brands & Complete Systems
At Doheny’s, we carry top-rated sand filter systems from trusted names like Doheny's, Hayward, and Pentair. Choose standalone filters or complete filter and pump combos, all designed for powerful performance and long-lasting durability.

Sand Pool Filters: How to Change the Sand
Sand filters for pools are known for typically requiring much less maintenance than other types of pool filtration systems, but they do require some care to stay running at their optimum level. Part of sand filter maintenance involves changing the sand in the filter. Depending on how much your pool is used and what type of filter system you have, the sand will typically need to be replaced about every 5-7 years in order to keep everything running efficiently.
Over time, as the sand in your filter is run through the system, the granules become smoother and the sand filtration process becomes much less efficient. When your sand filter stops working as well, that means it’s pumping harder and harder and overworking to do what should be a simple job. Keeping up with changing the sand on a schedule will help keep everything running smoothly and help to keep your filter running for as long as possible.
