📐 Pool Sizing Guide

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

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 – generous capacity
🏊 Medium above-ground	20,000 – 40,000 L	Excellent – ideal match
🏊 Large above-ground	40,000 – 50,000 L	Good – at design capacity
🏠 Small in-ground	Up to 35,000 L	Excellent – plenty of headroom
🏠 Medium in-ground	35,000 – 50,000 L	Good – within recommended range
🏠 Large in-ground	50,000+ L	Consider 24″ model

This Filter:

📍 Flow Rate: 8.5 m³/h

📍 Recommended for pools up to: 50,000 litres (based on 6-hour turnover)

📍 Maximum pool size: 68,000 litres (with 8-hour turnover)

💡 Tip: For pools with heavy usage or in warmer climates, select a filter that achieves turnover in 6 hours rather than 8 hours for better water quality.

🔌 Installation Requirements

Plumbing Connections:

Requirement	Specification
Inlet Connection	1.5″ (38 mm) threaded
Outlet Connection	1.5″ (38 mm) threaded
Valve Position	Side mount

Physical Installation:

Requirement	Details
Base	Solid, level concrete slab or platform
Clearance Above	Minimum 825 mm for valve operation and servicing
Clearance Around	300-500 mm for maintenance access
Location	Dry, well-ventilated area with drainage

Pump Compatibility:

⚠️ Important: The filter must be matched with an appropriately sized pump.

📍 Recommended pump flow rate: 6.0 – 8.5 m³/h

📍 Maximum pump flow rate: Do not exceed 8.5 m³/h

📍 Pump shut-off pressure: Must not exceed filter’s 3.5 bar maximum working pressure

💡 Tip: Ensure suction pipes are installed with a slight incline towards the pool to prevent air bubble formation. Use PVC pipework for best results.

🧹 Maintenance Guide

Routine Maintenance:

Task	Frequency	How To
Check pressure gauge	Weekly	Record baseline pressure when filter is clean
Backwash filter	When pressure rises 0.5 bar above baseline	Run backwash for 5-10 minutes until sight glass shows clear water
Rinse after backwash	After every backwash	Run rinse cycle for 1 minute to settle media
Bleed air	As needed	Open air relief valve until water appears
Inspect seals and O-rings	Seasonally	Replace if worn, cracked, or compressed
Check media level	Annually	Top up if settlement has occurred
Full media replacement	Every 5 years	Replace sand completely

Pressure Gauge Guide:

📊 Clean filter baseline: Note and record your reading after installation or media change

📊 Backwash needed: When pressure rises 0.5 bar above your baseline

📊 Maximum safe pressure: 3.5 bar – do not exceed

Backwash Procedure:

1. Switch off the pump
2. Turn multiport valve to “Backwash” position
3. Start pump and run for 5-10 minutes until sight glass shows clear water
4. Stop pump
5. Turn valve to “Rinse” position
6. Start pump and run for approximately 1 minute
7. Stop pump
8. Return valve to “Filter” position
9. Restart pump and resume normal operation

Winterisation (UK Climate):

⚠️ Critical for frost protection:

1. Turn valve to “Backwash” position
2. Open the drain tap by turning 180° to the left (do not fully unscrew)
3. Open the air relief valve
4. Allow filter, pump, and pipework to drain completely
5. Leave drain and air relief open over winter
6. Store any removable components in a frost-free location
7. Never leave water in the filter during freezing conditions

🪨 Filter Media Information

Compatible Media for ClearPro Filters:

Media Type	Filtration	Lifespan	Benefits
Sand (0.4-0.8 mm)	~10 microns with ClearPro	5-7 years	Cost-effective, proven performance
Glass Media	5-10 microns	10+ years	Finer filtration, longer lasting
ZeoSand	3-5 microns	5 years	Superior clarity, ammonia removal

Media Capacity: 75 kg

⚠️ Important Note for ClearPro Filters: Unlike standard Triton Neo filters, ClearPro models do not require a gravel layer. Use sand only (75 kg of 0.4-0.8 mm grade).

Signs Media Needs Replacing:

• Poor water clarity despite correct water chemistry
• Shorter filter cycles between backwashes
• Cloudy water returning to pool after filtration
• Media hardening from body oils, calcium, or suntan lotions
• Media more than 5 years old

Media Filling Tips:

💡 Fill the filter tank one-third full with water before adding media to cushion the impact on the internal laterals

💡 Pour media slowly and carefully through the top opening

💡 Protect the tank thread with adhesive tape during filling

💡 After filling, run the filter on “Rinse” for at least 1 minute before normal operation

🔬 Filtration Performance

Metric	Value
Standard Sand Filtration	40 microns
With ClearPro Technology	Approximately 10 microns
Filter Area	0.17 m²
Improvement	Up to 4× finer filtration than conventional sand

How ClearPro Technology Works:

ClearPro is Pentair’s patented technology that significantly enhances sand filter performance. A proprietary micro-porous tube creates a final barrier that water must pass through before returning to the pool. This captures the finest particles that sand alone cannot trap, including fine dust, algae spores, and pollens.

Micron Rating Guide:

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

Result: Water clarity approaching that of DE (Diatomaceous Earth) filters, with the simplicity and lower maintenance of sand filtration.

⚙️ Valve Positions & Functions

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

Position	Function	When to Use
Filter	Normal filtration – water flows through media and returns to pool	Daily operation
Backwash	Reverses flow to flush debris from media to waste	When pressure rises 0.5 bar above baseline
Rinse	Settles media and clears lines after backwash	Always run for 1 minute after backwash
Waste	Bypasses filter, sends water directly to drain	Vacuuming heavy debris, lowering water level
Recirculate	Bypasses filter, returns water to pool	Circulating chemicals, troubleshooting
Closed	Stops all water flow	Servicing, pump maintenance

⚠️ Important: Always switch off the pump before changing valve positions to prevent damage to the filter and valve seals.

🎯 Ideal Applications

Application	Pool Size	Notes
🏠 Residential above-ground pools	Up to 50,000 L	Excellent choice for family pools
🏠 Residential in-ground pools	Up to 50,000 L	Professional-grade performance
