Key Features
-
High-Capacity Filtration: With a generous 7.06 square feet of filtration area, the filter is engineered to handle high flow rates (up to approximately 141 GPM) and provides superior clarity by maximizing contact between water and the filtering media. Its multi-diffuser system ensures even distribution of water through the media, enhancing overall performance, especially for commercial applications operating up to 20 GPM per square foot.
-
Robust, Fiberglass-Reinforced Construction: Utilizing the innovative Glas-Lok process, the entire tank is formed in one piece, which not only eliminates potential leak points but also reinforces the structure against wear and the effects of sunlight. This UV-resistant finish helps maintain both functionality and appearance over years of service.
-
Side Mount Design: The side mount configuration offers streamlined plumbing configurations. The inlet and outlet connections are arranged on the side of the tank, facilitating easier integration with surrounding pool equipment and permitting more flexible installation options.
-
Optimized for Easy Maintenance: Thoughtfully engineered for hassle-free operation, the filter features a heavy-duty closure for straightforward access and inspection of the sand bed. This design simplifies both routine backwashing and servicing, reducing system downtime and maintenance costs.
