SMDD 1400 Filter: Premium 4 Bar Deep Bed Filtration with Enhanced Capacity and Serviceability

Introduction

As a retailer of high-end pool and water treatment equipment, I’m thrilled to present the SMDD 1400 filter. This 4 bar, 110mm connection model with a spacious 420mm x 320mm service hatch represents the pinnacle of deep media bed filtration technology, offering exceptional filtration efficiency, increased capacity, and superior maintenance access for demanding commercial and luxury residential applications.

Product Overview

The SMDD 1400 filter is engineered to provide outstanding in-depth filtration and significantly increased dirt capacity compared to standard high-rate filters and smaller deep bed models. While the product description mentions a 1000mm media bed, the SMDD 1400’s larger size suggests an even deeper media bed, potentially up to 1400mm, ensuring unparalleled retention of fine particles and colloidal substances.
