📏 Pool Sizing Guide
Sizing Principle: Your filter’s 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)

🧹 Maintenance Guide
Routine Maintenance Schedule
| Task | Frequency | Method |
|---|---|---|
| Check pressure gauge | Weekly | Record baseline; note increases |
| Backwash filter | When pressure rises 0.5-0.7 bar above baseline | 2-3 minutes until sight glass clears |
| Rinse after backwash | After every backwash | 30-60 seconds |
| Inspect valve seals | Seasonally | Visual check; replace if worn |
| Check sand level | Annually | Top up if below diffuser |
| Full media replacement | Every 5-7 years (sand) | Replace sand completely |
Pressure Gauge Guide
📊 Clean filter baseline: 0.5-1.0 bar (after fresh backwash)
📊 Backwash trigger: 0.5-0.7 bar above baseline
📊 Maximum safe pressure: 3.5 bar
⚠️ Warning: If pressure exceeds 3.5 bar or rises rapidly, stop the pump and investigate immediately.
Winterisation (UK Climate)
Essential steps for frost protection:
- Backwash and rinse the filter thoroughly
- Set multiport valve to “Winterise” position or between settings
- Remove drain plug and allow complete drainage
- Leave drain plug out during winter storage
- Cover filter or relocate to frost-free location if possible
- Never leave water in filter during freezing conditions
💎 Filter Media Information
Compatible Media Types
| Media Type | Filtration Rating | Lifespan | Key Benefits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pool Sand (0.4-0.8mm) | 20-40 microns* | 5-7 years | Economical; widely available |
| AFM Glass Media | 5-15 microns | 10+ years | Superior clarity; self-sterilising |
| ZeoSand (Zeolite) | 3-5 microns | 5 years | Excellent ammonia removal |
*With ClearPro Technology, effective filtration improves to approximately 10 microns regardless of media type.
Media Capacity: 150 kg
💡 Recommendation: For best results with this ClearPro filter, use 50% AFM Grade 2 in the lower layer and 50% AFM Grade 1 in the upper layer. No gravel bed is required.
Signs Your Media Needs Replacing
- Pool water remains cloudy despite correct chemical balance
- Shortened filter cycles (frequent backwashing required)
- Visible sand particles returning to pool
- Filter age exceeds 5-7 years (sand) or 10 years (glass)
🔬 Filtration Performance
| Metric | Standard Sand | With ClearPro Technology |
|---|---|---|
| Filtration Rating | 40-50 microns | Approximately 10 microns |
| Water Clarity | Good | Exceptional (60% clearer) |
| Filter Area | 0.29 m² | 0.29 m² |
How ClearPro Technology Works
The patented ClearPro system uses specially designed porous laterals that create an additional filtration barrier. Water must pass through these micro-porous tubes before returning to your pool, capturing particles up to four times smaller than standard sand filtration can achieve. The result approaches DE (diatomaceous earth) filter clarity with the simplicity of sand filter maintenance.
Micron Rating Guide
| Rating | What It Captures |
|---|---|
| 50+ microns | Visible debris, leaves, large particles |
| 20-40 microns | Sand, dirt, visible suspended matter |
| 10-20 microns | Fine particles, most algae spores |
| 5-10 microns | Very fine particles, pollen, bacteria |
🔩 Multiport Valve Positions & Functions
| Position | Function | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
| Filter | Normal filtration operation | Daily operation |
| Backwash | Reverses water flow to flush debris | When pressure rises 0.5-0.7 bar |
| Rinse | Settles and compacts sand bed | Always after backwashing |
| Waste | Bypasses filter, drains to waste | Vacuuming to waste; lowering water level |
| Recirculate | Bypasses filter, returns to pool | Distributing chemicals quickly |
| Closed | Stops all water flow | Pump maintenance; winterisation |
⚠️ Important: Always stop the pump before changing valve positions to prevent internal damage.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What size pool will this filter handle?
A: The Pentair Triton Neo ClearPro 24″ is suitable for pools up to 112,000 litres with its 14 m³/h flow rate, providing a full water turnover within 8 hours. For optimal filtration, we recommend pools up to 90,000 litres.
Q: How often do I need to backwash?
A: Backwash when the pressure gauge reads 0.5-0.7 bar above your clean baseline reading. This is typically every 1-2 weeks during swimming season, depending on pool usage and debris levels.
Q: What filter media should I use?
A: This filter is compatible with standard pool sand (0.4-0.8mm), glass media (AFM), or zeolite. The ClearPro Technology works with all media types. Media capacity is 150 kg, and no gravel bed is required.
Q: How long does filter media last?
A: Sand typically lasts 5-7 years, while glass media like AFM can last 10+ years. ClearPro laterals extend the effective life of your filtration system.
Q: What pump do I need?
A: Match this filter with a pump delivering 10-14 m³/h. Do not exceed the filter’s maximum flow rate of 14 m³/h. Variable speed pumps work particularly well with this filter.
Q: What warranty is included?
A: Pentair provides a 10-year warranty on the fibreglass tank shell. Contact Parts4Tubs for complete warranty terms and conditions.
Q: How does this compare to the 19″ model?
A: The 24″ model offers 65% more flow capacity (14 m³/h vs 8.5 m³/h), 70% more filter area (0.29 m² vs 0.17 m²), and handles pools nearly twice as large. Choose the 24″ for pools over 60,000 litres.
