Mega filter packs.
If you have had enough of poor quality pool water, slow flow rates, miserable filtration through paper cartridges - then you need to upgrade to a sand filter system!
Keeping water clear and safe for swimming is a two-stage process. The careful application of chemicals controls the pH so that the disinfecting chemicals can kill the bacteria - which can be very harmful to humans. The dead bacteria then needs to be removed quickly and effectively, and a sand filter is best for this.
The small Chinese pumps and filters cannot deliver the flow rates to produce the quality of water that we expect for safe swimming. Also, if you are considering fitting a flat panel solar-heating system to make the most of the sun - you need a pump that can push the water up to the height of the panels!
We normally have two systems here. The small filter has a diameter of 14", and is coupled to a one-third horsepower pump. This pump offers a flow rate of 4000 litres per hour, 66 litres per minute.
The larger system uses a 16" diameter filter and a half-horsepower pump and offers a flow rate of 6000 litres per hour, or 100 litres per minute.
The small 14" filter needs a 16kg charge of special silica sand, and the 16" dia filter takes a 30kg charge of filter media. We supply the filter media with each system that we deliver. Please note - sand for pool filters is a high grade and special size of silica sand that does not erode to dust. Don't use builder's sand as it is not the same!
These filters are made of reinforced fibreglass for strength and durability, and carry a 5-year manufacturer's warranty. They are equipped with a top-mounted multi-port valve for you to control circulation, backwashing (to clean the sand) rinsing and emptying.

The systems have fittings to connect to 50mm or 1 1/2" pipe (optional connections). The 14" filter set is shipped with the full charge of 16kg of filter media, and the 16" system is shipped with 30kg of filter media - ready for connection and assembly. This is included in our delivered prices.
