Genesis Pool Filters

Crystal-clear water starts with the right filtration — and Genesis pool filters deliver the kind of performance your backyard deserves. Built right here in the USA with rugged fiberglass-reinforced polypropylene tanks, the Genesis line covers every filtration method: sand, cartridge, and diatomaceous earth. Whether you're outfitting a new pool or upgrading a tired system, these heavy-duty units are engineered to keep your water pristine season after season.

The Genesis sand filter lineup offers two ready-to-run combos — a 22" tank paired with a powerful 2 HP pump and a 19" version with a 1 HP pump — so you get matched components right out of the box without guessing at compatibility. If you prefer finer particle capture, the Genesis cartridge filters range from 100 sq ft to an impressive 425 sq ft of filtration surface area, with pump-inclusive packages available in the 100 and 150 sq ft models. For the ultimate in water clarity, the Genesis 48 sq ft D.E. filter traps particles as small as 2–5 microns, delivering that unmistakable polish you can see and feel. Explore our broader selection of swimming pool sand filters and D.E. filters to compare options across multiple brands.

Every Genesis filter is backed by a 3-year manufacturer warranty, giving you confidence that your investment is protected well beyond the first swim season. The durable fiberglass and polypropylene construction resists corrosion, UV degradation, and chemical wear — common failure points in lesser filter tanks. For pool owners and maintenance professionals who value reliability over disposable equipment, Genesis hits the mark. Pair your new filter with a variable speed pool pump for maximum energy savings, and refer to the EPA's WaterSense guide for pools and spas for tips on reducing water and energy use in your filtration setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of pool filters are available in the Genesis Pools collection?
The Genesis Pools collection offers three types of pool filters to suit different needs: sand filters (available in 19", 22", and 26" sizes), cartridge filters (ranging from 100 to 425 sq ft), and a D.E. (diatomaceous earth) filter at 48 sq ft. Sand filters are low-maintenance and ideal for most residential pools, cartridge filters provide excellent water clarity with easy-clean elements, and D.E. filters deliver the finest level of filtration available. All Genesis filters are built with heavy-duty fiberglass and polypropylene construction for long-lasting performance.
How do I choose the right Genesis filter size for my pool?
The right filter size depends on your pool's volume and your pump's flow rate. For smaller above-ground or residential pools up to around 15,000 gallons, the Genesis 19" Sand Filter with 1 HP Pump or the 100 Sq Ft Cartridge Filter with 2 HP Pump are solid choices. For larger pools up to 25,000 gallons or more, consider the 22" Sand Filter with 2 HP Pump, the 150 Sq Ft Cartridge Filter, or the 48 Sq Ft D.E. Filter. When in doubt, sizing up ensures better water circulation and longer intervals between cleanings. Contact us if you need help matching a filter to your setup.
Are Genesis Pools filters made in the USA, and what warranty do they include?
Yes, Genesis Pools products are proudly made in the USA, so you can count on American manufacturing standards and quality control. Every Genesis filter and filter-pump combo comes backed by a 3-year manufacturer warranty, covering defects in materials and workmanship. That combination of domestic production and a solid warranty makes Genesis a trusted choice for pool owners and maintenance professionals who want dependable, long-term filtration performance.
What maintenance is required for Genesis sand, cartridge, and D.E. filters?
Maintenance varies by filter type. Sand filters need backwashing every 1–2 weeks and a full sand replacement roughly every 5–7 years. Cartridge filters should be removed and hosed off every 2–4 weeks, with a deep chemical soak a few times per season; replacement cartridges are typically needed every 1–2 years. D.E. filters require backwashing and recharging with fresh D.E. powder after each cleaning, plus a full grid teardown at least once per season. Regular maintenance keeps your Genesis filter running efficiently and extends its lifespan.
Do the Genesis filter-and-pump combos come ready to install?
Several Genesis products ship as complete filter-and-pump packages, including the sand filter combos (paired with 1 HP or 2 HP pumps) and the cartridge filter combos (paired with 2 HP pumps). These bundles are designed for straightforward installation with standard pool plumbing connections. You will need to supply your own plumbing fittings, hoses, and sand media (for sand filter models). The standalone Genesis 48 Sq Ft D.E. Filter and 425 Sq Ft Cartridge Filter are sold without pumps, giving you the flexibility to pair them with your existing equipment. Check each product listing for full specs and connection details.
