📏 Pool Sizing Guide

Proper filter sizing ensures your pool water is fully circulated and cleaned within the recommended 6-8 hour turnover period. The 22″ Azur filter with 0.75hp pump is designed for larger pools requiring substantial filtration capacity.

Sizing Formula:

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

Example Calculations:

Pool Volume	6-Hour Turnover	8-Hour Turnover
30,000 L (30 m³)	5.0 m³/h needed	3.75 m³/h needed
40,000 L (40 m³)	6.7 m³/h needed	5.0 m³/h needed
48,000 L (48 m³)	8.0 m³/h needed	6.0 m³/h needed
55,000 L (55 m³)	9.2 m³/h needed	6.9 m³/h needed
66,000 L (66 m³)	11.0 m³/h needed	8.25 m³/h needed

Pool Size Compatibility:

Pool Type	Volume Range	Suitability	Notes
🏊 Large above-ground	35,000-50,000 L	✅ Excellent	Achieves optimal 6-hour turnover
🏊 Extra-large above-ground	50,000-66,000 L	✅ Very good	Achieves 8-hour turnover
🏠 Medium in-ground	35,000-48,000 L	✅ Excellent	Superior turnover with headroom
🏠 Large in-ground	48,000-60,000 L	✅ Good	Achieves 6-8 hour turnover
🏠 Extra-large in-ground	60,000-70,000 L	⚠️ Adequate	Extended run times recommended
🏊 Intex/Bestway XXL	40,000-55,000 L	✅ Ideal	Significant upgrade from cartridge

This Filter Pack:

📍 Design Flow Rate: 11 m³/h

🪨 Filter Media Installation

Media Layering (Critical for Proper Filtration)

The 22″ filter requires two layers of media installed in the correct order. Note the significantly larger quantities compared to smaller models:

Layer 1: Gravel Bed (Bottom)

Specification	Value
Media Type	Gravel/pea shingle
Grain Size	3-5 mm diameter
Quantity Required	20 kg (1 x 20kg bag)
Purpose	Supports sand bed, prevents lateral clogging

Layer 2: Filter Sand (Top)

Specification	Value
Media Type	Pool filter sand (silica)
Grain Size	0.4-0.8 mm (fine grade)
Quantity Required	120 kg (6 x 20kg bags)
Purpose	Primary filtration medium

Installation Procedure

1. Inspect laterals – Check all 6 filter nozzles are secure and undamaged
2. Fill tank 1/3 with water – Protects laterals during media filling
3. Position sand guide – Place over central pipe to direct sand away from laterals
4. Add gravel first – Pour 20kg evenly around the laterals
5. Add sand on top – Pour 120kg evenly, keeping sand guide in place (add in stages)
6. Remove sand guide – Lift out carefully
7. Level media surface – Ensure even distribution
8. Leave 150mm freeboard – Space for bed expansion during backwash

⚠️ Critical: The 22″ filter requires significantly more media than smaller models. Ensure you have all 140kg of media before starting installation. Never operate the filter without both gravel and sand correctly installed.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Sizing & Compatibility

Q: What size pool will this filter handle? A: This system is designed for pools up to 48,000 litres with optimal 6-8 hour turnover. With extended run times, it can effectively maintain pools up to 66,000 litres. The 11 m³/h pump flow rate and 0.25 m² filter area provide substantial capacity for larger residential pools.

Q: How does the 22″ filter compare to smaller Azur models? A: The 22″ filter offers 127% more filter area than the 15″ model (0.25 m² vs 0.11 m²) and 39% more than the 19″ model (0.25 m² vs 0.18 m²). This translates to longer backwash cycles, better debris capture, and suitability for pools up to 48,000+ litres versus 24,000-36,000 litres for smaller models.

Q: Is this suitable for saltwater pools? A: Yes, all components including the pump housing, filter tank, and valve are resistant to saltwater pool environments up to standard chlorinator salt levels (typically 3,000-6,000 ppm).

Q: Can I use this for a commercial pool? A: This system is designed for residential use and light commercial applications only (holiday let pools, small B&B pools). For public commercial pools, dedicated commercial-grade equipment with appropriate certifications is required.

Filter Media

Q: What filter media should I use? A: The filter requires 20kg of gravel (3-5mm) as a base layer, plus 120kg of filter sand (0.4-0.8mm). That’s 6 bags of sand and 1 bag of gravel. Alternatively, use 102kg of filter glass for improved filtration performance.

Q: How long does filter media last? A: Standard pool sand typically lasts 5-7 years with proper maintenance. Glass media can last 10-15 years. The larger media bed in the 22″ filter may extend life slightly due to better flow distribution.

Q: Is filter media included? A: No, filter media is sold separately. For the 22″ filter, budget for 140kg total media (120kg sand + 20kg gravel).

Operation & Maintenance

Q: How often do I need to backwash? A: The larger 0.25 m² filter area means less frequent backwashing than smaller filters—typically every 2-3 weeks during normal use. Backwash when the pressure gauge reads 0.3-0.5 bar above your clean baseline reading.

Q: How much water does backwashing use? A: Each backwash cycle uses approximately 500-600 litres due to the larger media bed. This is more than smaller filters but occurs less frequently.

Q: What’s the normal pressure gauge reading? A: A clean filter typically shows 0.5-1.0 bar. Normal operating range is 0.8-1.4 bar. Backwash when pressure rises to 1.3-1.5 bar (0.3-0.5 bar above your specific baseline).

Installation

Q: How heavy is the system when filled with sand and water? A: Empty, the system weighs approximately 50kg. With 120kg of sand plus water saturation, expect total operating weight of approximately 180-200kg. Ensure your installation base can support this weight.

Q: Is the pump self-priming? A: Yes, the FreeFlo FFL-071 pump is fully self-priming up to 2 metres of lift, allowing installation either above or below water level.

Q: How long does installation take? A: For a DIY installation, allow 4-6 hours including pipework connections. The larger media quantity takes longer to install than smaller models. Professional installation is recommended for complex pipework configurations.

Warranty & Support

Q: What warranty is included? A: The filter vessel carries a 5-year manufacturer warranty, the pump has a 2-year warranty (in the set), and the multiport valve is covered for 1 year. Contact Parts4Tubs for full warranty terms and conditions.

Q: Where can I get spare parts? A: All spare parts including O-rings, valve gaskets, laterals, pump seals, and strainer baskets are available from Parts4Tubs and authorised Pentair stockists.
