How It Works & Customer Benefits
The sand filter uses a simple yet effective mechanism: water enters the tank, passes through a bed of sand which traps particles as small as 20-40 microns, and returns clean to the pool. The 2.5 Bar pressure rating ensures strong flow even when the filter begins to collect debris, maintaining efficient circulation. For above ground pool owners, the lightweight FRP construction means the filter can be easily moved and installed without heavy equipment. Additionally, the tank’s smooth interior reduces friction, allowing the pump to work more efficiently — saving energy and extending pump life.
Our filter is designed with user-friendly maintenance in mind. Backwashing the sand bed is quick — simply turn the valve to “backwash” for 2-3 minutes, then rinse. This process flushes out trapped dirt and restores filtration performance. With proper care, the sand media only needs replacement every 3-5 years, making this a low-cost, low-hassle solution for pool owners.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: What size pool is this filter suitable for?
A: A 20-40 m³/h flow rate is ideal for above ground pools with a volume of 30-60 m³ (approximately 8,000-16,000 gallons). For larger pools, you may consider multiple units or a higher flow model. -
Q: What type of sand should I use?
A: We recommend #20 silica sand (0.5-0.8 mm grain size). The required quantity depends on tank diameter, typically 150-200 kg. Do not use play sand or fine sand as it may clog the underdrain. -
Q: Can I use this filter with a saltwater pool?
A: Yes, the FRP tank is corrosion-resistant and suitable for saltwater systems. However, we recommend using a compatible multi-port valve with corrosion-resistant internals (available upon request). -
Q: How often do I need to backwash?
A: Backwash when the pressure gauge rises 8-10 psi above the clean starting pressure. Depending on pool usage, this may be every 1-2 weeks. Regular backwashing maintains optimal flow. -
Q: What is the maximum pump horsepower I can use?
A: The filter is rated for 2.5 Bar working pressure. For above ground pools, pumps up to 2 HP (if properly sized) are generally safe. Always check the pump’s max pressure to avoid exceeding the filter’s rating. -
Q: Is the filter easy to install?
A: Yes. The tank comes with a pre-installed bulkhead fitting. You need to connect the pump outlet to the filter inlet, and the filter outlet to the pool return. A multi-port valve simplifies connections. Detailed installation instructions are provided. -
Q: Do you offer custom colors or valve configurations?
A: Yes, we offer customizable colors (e.g., blue, green, gray) and valve types (push-pull or multi-port). Please contact us with your requirements. -
Q: What is the warranty period?
A: We provide a standard 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects. Extended warranty options are available for bulk orders. Please inquire for details.
