Why Choose the FDB600 Deep Bed Sand Filter?

Exceptional Filtration Efficiency

The deeper sand bed of the FDB600 ensures that water passes through more filter media, resulting in superior particle removal and water clarity. This translates to a cleaner pool with less frequent maintenance requirements.

Ideal for Medium-Sized Pools

With its 14,000 liters per hour flow rate, this filter is perfectly suited for medium-sized pools and larger spa systems. It ensures efficient water turnover, maintaining fresh and crystal clear water in a variety of aquatic environments.

Versatile Design

The 600mm diameter offers a great balance between filtration capacity and space efficiency. It’s powerful enough for larger residential pools while still being compact enough for many installations.

Easy Integration

The 1½” connections make this filter compatible with many standard pool plumbing systems, allowing for straightforward installation or replacement of existing filters.

Ideal Applications

The FDB600 Deep Bed Sand Filter is particularly well-suited for:

• Medium-sized residential pools
• Larger above-ground pools
• Commercial spa systems
• Pool owners looking to upgrade to more efficient filtration

Maintenance and Care

While the FDB600’s increased dirt capacity means less frequent backwashing compared to standard filters, regular maintenance is still crucial for optimal performance. I recommend:

• Monitoring the pressure gauge regularly
• Backwashing when the pressure increases by 8-10 PSI above the clean filter pressure
• Inspecting the sand media annually and replacing it every 3-5 years or as needed

The Deep Bed Advantage

The deeper sand bed in the FDB600 isn’t just a feature—it’s a fundamental improvement in filtration technology:

1. More Comprehensive Filtration: As water travels through the deeper media, it encounters more opportunities for contaminants to be captured.
2. Extended Filtration Cycles: The increased dirt capacity allows for longer periods between backwashing, saving water and energy.
3. Removal of Finer Particles: The extended contact time enables the capture of smaller particles that might escape shallower filters.

Conclusion

The FDB600 Deep Bed Sand Filter represents a significant advancement in pool filtration technology for medium-sized aquatic systems. By choosing this filter, you’re investing in superior water quality, efficient operation, and reduced maintenance time. Your pool or spa water will be cleaner, clearer, and more inviting than ever before.
