📐 Pool Sizing Guide

The filter’s flow rate should turn over the entire pool volume within 6-8 hours for optimal water quality.

Sizing 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 20,000 L	Excellent – oversized for superior clarity
🏠 Medium above-ground	20,000 – 40,000 L	Excellent – ideal match
🏊 Large above-ground	40,000 – 60,000 L	Excellent – comfortable capacity
🏊 Small in-ground	Up to 50,000 L	Excellent – perfect match
🌊 Medium in-ground	50,000 – 80,000 L	Very Good – standard turnover
🌊 Large in-ground	80,000 – 110,000 L	Good – maximum rated capacity

This Filter:

📍 Flow Rate: 22 m³/h
📍 Suitable for pools up to: 110,000 litres
📍 Recommended pool size: 45,000 - 90,000 litres for optimal 4-6 hour turnover

🔌 Installation Requirements

Plumbing Connections:

Requirement	Specification
Inlet Connection	2″ (50 mm) threaded
Outlet Connection	2″ (50 mm) threaded
Valve Position	Side mount
Backwash Outlet	Via multiport valve

Physical Installation:

Requirement	Details
Base	Solid, level surface (concrete slab recommended)
Clearance above	Minimum 1146 mm for valve operation and dome access
Clearance around	300-500 mm for maintenance access
Location	Dry, well-ventilated area

Pump Compatibility:

⚠️ The filter must be matched with an appropriately sized pump for optimal performance.

• Recommended pump flow rate: 18 – 22 m³/h
• Pump must not exceed the filter’s maximum flow rate of 22 m³/h
• Undersized pumps will result in poor filtration
• Oversized pumps can damage the filter and waste energy

💡 Tip: When sizing your system, ensure the pump’s maximum output matches or is slightly below the filter’s rated capacity.

🧹 Maintenance Guide

Routine Maintenance:

Task	When	How
Check pressure gauge	Weekly	Note baseline reading when clean
Backwash filter	When pressure rises 0.5 bar above baseline	Run until sight glass shows clear water (5-10 minutes)
Rinse after backwash	After every backwash	Run for approximately 1 minute
Clean pump basket	Before backwash	Remove debris from strainer
Inspect O-ring seal	Seasonally	Check dome O-ring, replace if worn
Check media level	Annually	Top up if sand has settled significantly
Full media change	Every 5 years	Replace sand completely

Pressure Gauge Guide:

📊 Clean filter: Note reading after fresh backwash – this is your baseline

📊 Backwash needed: When pressure is 0.5 bar or more above baseline

📊 Maximum safe operating: 3.5 bar

Backwash Procedure:

1. Turn off the pump
2. Set multiport valve to “Backwash” position
3. Turn on pump and run for 5-10 minutes until water runs clear in sight glass
4. Turn off pump
5. Set valve to “Rinse” position
6. Run pump for 1 minute
7. Turn off pump
8. Return valve to “Filter” position
9. Resume normal operation

Winterisation (UK Climate):

• Drain the filter tank completely via the drain plug
• Set multiport valve to “Backwash” position
• Open the air bleed valve
• Remove and store drain plug safely
• Cover the filter or store in a frost-free location
• Never leave water in the filter during freezing conditions – trapped water will expand and damage the tank

🪨 Filter Media Information

Compatible Media:

Media Type	Filtration Rating	Lifespan	Benefits
Silica Sand (0.4-0.8mm)	20-40 microns	5-7 years	Economical, proven performance
Glass Media	5-15 microns	10+ years	Finer filtration, longer lasting
ZeoSand	3-5 microns	5 years	Superior water clarity

Media Capacity: 275 kg

💡 ClearPro Technology Note: The Triton Neo ClearPro achieves approximately 10-micron filtration even with standard silica sand, thanks to the patented porous lateral system. This delivers filtration performance approaching that of glass media at a fraction of the cost.

Signs Your Media Needs Replacing:

• Poor water clarity despite correct chemical balance
• Short filter cycles between backwashes
• Cloudy water returning to the pool via jets
• Media visible in pool (indicates damaged laterals)
• Filter over 5 years old (for sand) or 10+ years (for glass)

🔬 Filtration Performance

Metric	Value
Filtration Rating (with ClearPro)	Approximately 10 microns
Filtration Rating (standard sand)	20-40 microns
Filter Area	0.45 m²

ClearPro Technology Advantage:

The patented ClearPro porous lateral system creates an additional filtration barrier that captures particles four times smaller than conventional sand filters. This means:

• Crystal-clear water approaching DE filter quality
• Reduced chemical consumption
• Less algae growth
• Superior swimming experience

Micron Rating Guide:

Rating	What It Removes
40+ microns	Visible debris, leaves, large particles
20-40 microns	Sand, dirt, visible particles
10-20 microns	Fine particles, some algae spores
5-10 microns	Very fine particles, most algae, improved clarity

⚙️ Multiport Valve Positions & Functions

Position	Function
Filter	Normal filtration – water flows through sand bed and returns clean to pool
Backwash	Reverses water flow to flush debris from sand to waste
Rinse	Settles and compacts sand after backwashing before resuming filtration
Waste	Bypasses filter, sends water directly to drain – useful for lowering water level or vacuuming heavy debris
Recirculate	Bypasses filter, returns water to pool – useful for distributing chemicals
Closed	Stops all water flow – use when servicing pump or other equipment

⚠️ Important: Never change valve position while the pump is running. Always turn off the pump first to prevent damage to the valve and filter system.

🎯 Ideal Applications

Application	Pool Size	Suitability
🏠 Residential above-ground	Up to 60,000 L	Excellent
🏠 Residential in-ground	Up to 110,000 L	Excellent
🏢 Small commercial/holiday let	Up to 80,000 L	Very Good

Perfect For:

• Large family pools requiring superior water clarity
• Pools with high bather loads
• Owners seeking reduced maintenance
• Upgrade from standard sand or cartridge filters
• New pool installations requiring reliable, long-term filtration

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What size pool will this filter handle?

A: The Pentair Triton Neo ClearPro 30″ is suitable for pools up to 110,000 litres (110 m³) with its 22 m³/h flow rate. For optimal 4-6 hour turnover, it’s ideally matched to pools between 45,000 and 90,000 litres.

Q: How often do I need to backwash?

A: Backwash when the pressure gauge reads 0.5 bar above your clean baseline reading. This is typically every 1-2 weeks during swimming season, but varies based on pool usage, surrounding environment, and debris levels.

Q: What filter media should I use?

A: The filter is compatible with silica sand (0.4-0.8mm grade), glass media, or ZeoSand. It requires 275 kg of media. Thanks to ClearPro Technology, standard silica sand delivers excellent ~10-micron filtration.

Q: How long does filter media last?

A: Silica sand typically lasts 5-7 years. Glass media can last 10+ years. The filter manual recommends changing sand every 5 years for optimal performance.

Q: What pump do I need?

A: Pair with a pump delivering 18-22 m³/h. The pump should not exceed the filter’s maximum rated flow of 22 m³/h. An undersized pump will result in poor filtration.

Q: What warranty is included?

A: Pentair provides a 10-year warranty on the filter tank from the date of production. Contact Parts4Tubs for full warranty terms and conditions.

Q: What makes ClearPro different from standard sand filters?

A: ClearPro Technology uses patented porous laterals that create an additional filtration barrier, achieving approximately 10-micron filtration compared to 40 microns for conventional sand filters – that’s four times finer filtration with the same easy maintenance.

Q: Can I use this filter for a commercial pool?

A: The Triton Neo ClearPro 30″ is designed for large residential and light commercial applications. For heavily used commercial pools, consult with Parts4Tubs about higher-capacity options.
