📐 Pool Sizing Guide

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

Formula:

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

Pool Size Compatibility

Pool Type	Volume Range	Suitability
🏊 Small above-ground	Up to 30,000 L	Excellent – ample capacity
🏊 Medium above-ground	30,000-60,000 L	Excellent – ideal match
🏊 Large above-ground	60,000-80,000 L	Good – suits most needs
🏠 Small in-ground	Up to 60,000 L	Excellent – ample capacity
🏠 Medium in-ground	60,000-90,000 L	Good – ideal for most pools
🏠 Large in-ground	90,000-112,000 L	Suitable – at upper capacity

This Filter:

• 📍 Flow Rate: 14 m³/h

Requirement	Specification
Inlet Connection	1.5″ (38 mm)
Outlet Connection	1.5″ (38 mm)
Valve Position	Side Mount
Connection Type	Threaded fittings

Physical Installation

Requirement	Details
Base	Solid, level concrete slab or platform required
Clearance above	Minimum 955 mm for valve operation and dome removal
Clearance around	Minimum 500 mm on all sides for maintenance access

Pump Compatibility

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

• Recommended pump flow rate: 10-14 m³/h
• Maximum pump flow rate: Do not exceed 14 m³/h
• Pipe sizing: Use PVC pipes; ensure slight slope on suction lines to prevent air bubbles

💡 Tip: Undersizing the pump will result in reduced filtration efficiency, while oversizing may damage the filter media and reduce water clarity.

🔄 Maintenance Guide

Routine Maintenance Schedule

Task	Frequency	Method
Check pressure gauge	Weekly	Normal operating range: record baseline pressure
Backwash filter	When pressure rises 0.5 bar above baseline	Run until sight glass shows clear water
Rinse after backwash	After each backwash	Run for approximately 1 minute
Inspect seals and O-rings	Seasonally	Replace if worn, cracked, or damaged
Check media level	Annually	Top up if level has dropped
Full media replacement	Every 5 years	Replace sand media completely

Pressure Gauge Guide

• 📊 Clean filter baseline: Note pressure after fresh backwash
• 📊 Backwash needed: 0.5 bar above baseline
• 📊 Maximum safe pressure: 3.5 bar

Backwash Procedure

1. Switch off the pump
2. Move valve handle to “Backwash” position
3. Start the pump and run until water clears in sight glass (5-10 minutes)
4. Switch off the pump
5. Move valve handle to “Rinse” position
6. Start the pump and run for approximately 1 minute
7. Switch off the pump
8. Return valve to “Filtration” position and restart pump

Winterisation (UK Climate)

• Drain filter tank completely via the drain tap
• Open bleed valve to allow complete drainage
• Leave drain tap open during winter storage
• Cover filter or store in frost-free location if possible
• ⚠️ Never leave water in filter during freezing conditions – ice expansion can crack the tank

🪨 Filter Media Information

Compatible Media Types

Media Type	Filtration	Lifespan	Benefits
Silica Sand (0.4-0.8 mm)	20-40 microns	5-7 years	Economical, widely available
Glass Media	5-15 microns	10+ years	Finer filtration, requires less backwashing
ZeoSand	3-5 microns	5 years	Superior water clarity

Media Capacity and Requirements

• Total Media Capacity: 150 kg
• Standard Fill (with gravel base): 100 kg sand + 50 kg pea gravel
• ClearPro Fill (sand only): 150 kg sand (0.4-0.8 mm)
• Recommended Sand Grade: No. 20 Silica Sand or 0.4-0.8 mm pool filter sand

💡 Installation Tip: Always fill the tank one-third full with water before adding media to cushion the impact on the laterals.

Signs Media Needs Replacing

• Poor water clarity despite correct chemical balance
• Short filter cycles between backwashes
• Cloudy water returns to pool after filtration
• Visible channelling or clumping in sand bed
• Filter has been in service for 5+ years

🔬 Filtration Performance

Metric	Value
Standard Filtration Rating	40 microns (lateral system)
ClearPro Enhanced Rating	~10 microns
Filter Area	0.29 m²
Improvement Factor	Up to 5x finer than conventional sand

How ClearPro Technology Works

The ClearPro system incorporates a proprietary porous tube that water must pass through before returning to the pool. This creates a final filtration barrier that captures the very smallest particles that sand alone cannot trap, including fine dust particles, algae spores, and pollens.

Micron Rating Guide

Rating	What It Captures
40+ microns	Visible debris, leaves, large particles
20-40 microns	Sand, dirt, most visible particles
10-20 microns	Fine particles, some algae, pollen
5-10 microns	Very fine particles, most algae, bacteria

⚙️ Valve Positions and Functions

Position	Function
Filter	Normal filtration – water passes through sand bed to pool
Backwash	Reverses flow to flush debris from sand to waste
Rinse	Settles sand bed after backwash, directs to waste
Waste	Bypasses filter completely, drains directly to waste
Recirculate	Bypasses filter, returns water to pool (for chemical mixing)
Closed	Stops all water flow through the filter

⚠️ Important: Never change valve position whilst the pump is running. Always switch off the pump before adjusting the multiport valve.

🎯 Ideal Applications

Application	Pool Size	Suitability
🏠 Residential above-ground	Up to 80,000 L	Excellent
🏠 Residential in-ground	Up to 112,000 L	Excellent
🏢 Small commercial/holiday lets	Up to 80,000 L	Good

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What size pool will this filter handle? A: The Triton Neo ClearPro 24″ is suitable for pools up to 112,000 litres with its 14 m³/h flow rate, achieving complete water turnover in 8 hours. For optimal water quality, pools of 56,000-84,000 litres are ideal.

Q: How often do I need to backwash? A: Backwash when the pressure gauge reads 0.5 bar above your clean baseline pressure. This typically occurs every 1-2 weeks during swimming season, depending on pool usage and debris load.

Q: What filter media should I use? A: This filter is compatible with standard silica sand (0.4-0.8 mm), glass media, or ZeoSand. The ClearPro version works best with 150 kg of fine sand without a gravel base layer.

Q: How long does filter media last? A: Standard sand media should be replaced every 5 years. Glass media can last 10+ years with proper maintenance. Replace sooner if you notice declining water clarity or shortened filter cycles.

Q: What pump do I need? A: Match with a pump delivering 10-14 m³/h at your system head pressure. Do not exceed 14 m³/h as this is the filter’s maximum design flow rate.

Q: What’s the difference between ClearPro and standard Triton Neo? A: ClearPro technology adds a patented porous filtration element that captures particles up to 5 times smaller than conventional sand filtration, achieving approximately 10 micron clarity versus 40 microns standard.

Q: What warranty is included? A: Pentair provides a 10-year warranty on the fiberglass tank shell from the date of manufacture. Contact Parts4Tubs for full warranty terms and conditions.

Q: Can I use this filter with my existing pump? A: Yes, provided your pump’s flow rate is between 10-14 m³/h and uses 1.5″ connections. Ensure your pump does not exceed the filter’s maximum flow rate.
