Genesis Pool Filters

When your pool water clarity matters, a Genesis pool filter delivers the consistent, reliable performance you need to keep every swim safe and inviting. Whether you're maintaining a backyard retreat or managing a high-demand residential pool, Genesis filtration systems are engineered to handle the job — giving you clean, clear water season after season without the guesswork.

Genesis offers three proven filtration technologies to match your pool's specific needs. Sand filters like the 19-inch and 22-inch models provide low-maintenance, backwash-capable filtration ideal for everyday residential use. Cartridge filters — available in 100 and 150 sq ft configurations — deliver fine-particle capture without the need for backwashing, making them a smart choice for water-conscious pool owners. For the highest filtration precision, the Genesis 48 Sq Ft D.E. filter uses diatomaceous earth media to remove particles as small as 3–5 microns, producing exceptionally polished pool water. All models support 70–80 GPM flow rates for strong pool circulation. Pair any filter with a compatible pump through our Genesis filter and pump bundles for a complete, ready-to-install pool filtration system.

Every Genesis pool filter in this collection is Made in USA and backed by a 3-year manufacturer warranty — a standard that reflects genuine build quality, not just marketing language. The installation-ready design means you spend less time on setup and more time enjoying your pool. Standard plumbing compatibility ensures these systems integrate smoothly with most residential equipment configurations. For optimal pool circulation, pairing your filter with a properly sized pump is essential — browse our Genesis pool pumps for matched options. Industry resources like the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance and the CDC healthy swimming guidelines both underscore how critical proper filtration is to swimmer health and water safety.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of pool filters does Genesis make?
Genesis offers three types of pool filters to fit different needs and budgets. Their sand filters come in 19-inch, 22-inch, and 26-inch oval models, delivering flow rates of 70–80 GPM. The cartridge filter lineup includes 100 sq ft and 150 sq ft options, ideal for low-maintenance setups. For maximum filtration, Genesis also offers a 48 sq ft D.E. filter. Every Genesis pool filter is Made in USA and backed by a 3-year warranty, making them a reliable choice for residential in-ground pools.
What's the difference between sand, cartridge, and DE filters?
Sand filters use specially graded sand to trap debris and are cleaned by backwashing — a straightforward process that makes them one of the most popular choices. Cartridge filters use pleated filter elements to capture finer particles without backwashing; you simply remove and rinse the cartridge. D.E. (diatomaceous earth) filters offer the finest filtration of the three, trapping particles as small as 3–5 microns for crystal-clear water. Genesis makes all three types, so you can choose based on your maintenance preference and water clarity goals.
How do I know which filter size is right for my pool?
The right filter size depends on your pool's volume and your pump's flow rate. As a general rule, your filter should handle your pump's GPM output without exceeding the filter's rated capacity. Genesis sand filters support 70–80 GPM, making them a great match for most residential in-ground pools. A larger filter — like the 26-inch sand or 150 sq ft cartridge — gives you more capacity and longer intervals between cleanings. If you're also shopping for a pump, check out our Genesis pool pumps, many of which are available bundled with Genesis filters.
How often should I clean or backwash my pool filter?
The frequency depends on your filter type and how heavily your pool is used. For sand and D.E. filters, backwash when your pressure gauge reads 8–10 PSI above the clean starting pressure — typically every 4–6 weeks under normal conditions. Cartridge filters should be rinsed every 4–6 weeks and deep-cleaned with a filter cleaner solution every season. During heavy swim seasons, algae blooms, or after storms, you may need to clean more frequently. Consistent maintenance extends filter life and keeps your Genesis filter running at peak efficiency.
Are Genesis filters easy to install?
Yes — Genesis filters are designed with straightforward plumbing connections and clear labeling, making installation manageable for experienced DIYers. Each unit ships with the necessary fittings, and standard 1.5-inch or 2-inch plumbing connections are compatible with most existing pool setups. If you purchase a Genesis filter bundled with a 1 HP or 2 HP pump, the components are matched for optimal performance right out of the box. For complex installations or if you're unsure about your plumbing layout, we recommend consulting a licensed pool professional to ensure everything is set up safely and correctly.
