📏 Pool Sizing Guide

Proper filter sizing ensures your pool water is completely circulated and filtered within the recommended timeframe. The PPG Filter Top 750 delivers 13.2 m³/h flow rate at standard filtration speeds, making it ideal for medium to large residential pools.

Sizing Principle: The filter flow rate should turn over your entire pool volume within 6-8 hours for optimal water clarity.

Formula: Required Flow Rate (m³/h) = Pool Volume (m³) ÷ Turnover Time (hours)

Pool Size Compatibility:

Pool Type	Volume Range	Suitability
🏊 Medium above-ground	40,000-60,000 L	Excellent – optimal 6-hour turnover
🏊 Large above-ground	60,000-80,000 L	Very good – 6-8 hour turnover
🏠 Small in-ground	Up to 50,000 L	Excellent – fast turnover capacity
🏠 Medium in-ground	50,000-80,000 L	Very good – optimal performance
🏠 Large in-ground	80,000-105,000 L	Good – achieves 8-hour turnover

This Filter:

📍 Standard Flow Rate: 13.2 m³/h
📍 Optimal for pools: 60,000-80,000 litres (6-hour turnover)
📍 Maximum pool size: 105,000 litres (8-hour turnover)

🛠️ Installation Requirements

Plumbing Connections:

Requirement	Specification
Inlet Connection	2″ (50mm) Female Thread
Outlet Connection	2″ (50mm) Female Thread
Valve Position	Top mount (rotatable 180°)
Unions	Not included – purchase separately

Physical Installation:

Requirement	Details
Base	Solid, level concrete pad or paving required
Minimum clearance above	500mm for valve operation and lid removal
Clearance around	300mm minimum for maintenance access
Location	Frost-free area or with winterisation provisions

Pump Compatibility:

⚠️ Important: The filter must be matched with an appropriate pump for optimal performance.

• Maximum pump flow rate: 22 m³/h (backwash capacity)
• Pump must not exceed the filter’s maximum flow rate
• Variable speed pumps offer energy savings and precise flow control

💡 Tip: Position the filter as close to the pump as practical to minimise pressure losses. Ensure all pipework is adequately supported.

🔄 Maintenance Guide

Routine Maintenance Schedule:

Task	Frequency	Details
Check pressure gauge	Weekly	Record baseline pressure when filter is clean
Backwash filter	When pressure rises 0.5-0.7 bar above baseline	Typically every 1-2 weeks during swimming season
Rinse after backwash	After every backwash	Run for 30-60 seconds until water clears
Inspect valve seals	Seasonally	Replace O-rings if worn or leaking
Check media level	Annually	Top up sand if level drops below recommended
Full media replacement	Every 5-7 years	Replace when filtration efficiency decreases

Pressure Gauge Guide:

📊 Clean filter baseline: Typically 0.5-0.8 bar
📊 Backwash required: When pressure rises 0.5-0.7 bar above baseline
📊 Maximum safe pressure: 2.5 bar (do not exceed)

Backwash Procedure:

1. Turn off the pump
2. Set multiport valve to BACKWASH position
3. Turn on the pump and run until sight glass shows clear water (typically 2-3 minutes)
4. Turn off the pump
5. Set valve to RINSE position
6. Run pump for 30-60 seconds to settle media
7. Turn off pump and return valve to FILTER position
8. Resume normal filtration

Winterisation (UK Climate):

• Drain filter tank completely via drain plug
• Remove and store drain plug safely
• Set multiport valve to WINTERISE or between positions
• Cover filter or relocate to frost-free storage if possible
• Never leave water in the filter during freezing conditions – ice expansion can crack the tank

🪨 Filter Media Information

Compatible Media Types:

Media Type	Filtration Rating	Lifespan	Benefits
Silica Sand (#16/30)	20-40 microns	5-7 years	Economical, reliable, industry-proven
Glass Media	5-15 microns	10+ years	Finer filtration, reduced backwashing, eco-friendly
ZeoSand/Zeolite	3-5 microns	5 years	Superior water clarity, ammonia reduction
Filter Balls	10-15 microns	3-4 years	Lightweight, easy handling, good flow rates

Media Capacity for PPG Filter Top 750:

• Sand: 225 kg
• Gravel (support layer): 180 kg
• Total: 405 kg

Media Loading Instructions:

1. Ensure filter is positioned level and secure
2. Add gravel layer first as support bed
3. Use the folding diffuser to protect internal pipework during loading
4. Add sand gradually, avoiding damage to laterals
5. Fill to recommended level (approximately 2/3 tank capacity)

Signs Media Needs Replacing:

• Poor water clarity despite correct chemical balance
• Short filter cycles between backwashes
• Cloudy water returning to pool after filtration
• Visible channelling or clumping in media bed
• Filter media in pool (indicates lateral damage)

⚙️ Valve Positions & Functions

The premium Praher 6-way multiport valve provides complete control over your filtration system:

Position	Function	When to Use
FILTER	Normal filtration mode	Standard daily operation
BACKWASH	Reverses water flow to flush debris	When pressure gauge rises 0.5-0.7 bar above baseline
RINSE	Settles media after backwash	30-60 seconds after every backwash
WASTE	Bypasses filter, drains to waste	Vacuuming heavy debris, lowering water level
RECIRCULATE	Bypasses filter, returns to pool	Distributing chemicals, heating without filtration
CLOSED	Stops all water flow	Pump maintenance, winterisation

⚠️ Important: Always turn off the pump before changing valve positions to prevent damage to the valve seal.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What size pool will this filter handle?

A: The PPG Filter Top 750 is suitable for pools up to 105,000 litres with an 8-hour turnover, or optimally 80,000 litres with a 6-hour turnover. The 13.2 m³/h flow rate at standard filtration speeds provides excellent water circulation for medium to large residential pools.

Q: How often do I need to backwash?

A: Backwash when the pressure gauge reads 0.5-0.7 bar above your clean filter baseline. During the swimming season, this is typically every 1-2 weeks depending on pool usage, debris levels and bather load.

Q: What filter media should I use?

A: The filter is compatible with standard pool sand (silica #16/30), glass media, ZeoSand or filter balls. Sand capacity is 225 kg with 180 kg gravel as a support layer. For finer filtration, consider glass media which filters to 5-15 microns.

Q: How long does filter media last?

A: Silica sand typically lasts 5-7 years with proper maintenance. Glass media can last 10+ years. Replace media when you notice decreased filtration efficiency or shortened backwash cycles.

Q: What pump do I need?

A: Match with a pump delivering 10-13 m³/h for standard filtration. The maximum flow rate for backwashing is 22 m³/h. A variable speed pump offers optimal efficiency and the ability to adjust flow rates for different conditions.

Q: What warranty is included?

A: The PPG Filter Top 750 comes with a 5-year manufacturer warranty on the tank. Contact Parts4Tubs for full warranty terms and conditions.

Q: Do unions come included?

A: No, unions are sold separately. You will need 2″ unions for connecting the filter to your pool plumbing system.

Q: Can I use this filter with a salt chlorinator?

A: Yes, the polyester-reinforced GRP construction is resistant to salt water corrosion, making it suitable for use with salt chlorination systems.

Q: How heavy is the filter when filled with media?

A: The empty filter weighs 33.5 kg. With 225 kg sand and 180 kg gravel, the total filled weight is approximately 438.5 kg. Ensure your installation base can support this weight.
