📏 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)

Pool Size Compatibility

Pool Type	Volume Range	Suitability
🏊 Medium above-ground	40,000-70,000 L	✅ Excellent – optimal turnover
🏊 Large above-ground	70,000-90,000 L	✅ Ideal match
🏠 Small in-ground	Up to 60,000 L	✅ Excellent – generous capacity
🏠 Medium in-ground	60,000-90,000 L	✅ Perfect fit
🏠 Large in-ground	90,000-112,000 L	✅ Suitable with 8-hour turnover

Pump Compatibility

⚠️ Important: Filter must be correctly matched with an appropriate pump.

• Recommended pump flow rate: 10-14 m³/h
• Maximum flow rate: Do not exceed 14 m³/h
• Pump head: Must overcome filter resistance plus pipework losses

💡 Tip: A variable speed pump paired with this filter offers optimal efficiency and extended filter cycles.

🧹 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:

1. Backwash and rinse the filter thoroughly
2. Set multiport valve to “Winterise” position or between settings
3. Remove drain plug and allow complete drainage
4. Leave drain plug out during winter storage
5. Cover filter or relocate to frost-free location if possible
6. 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.

🏡 Ideal Applications

Application	Pool Size	Recommendation
🏠 Residential above-ground	50,000-90,000 L	✅ Excellent choice
🏠 Residential in-ground	60,000-100,000 L	✅ Ideal application
🏢 Small commercial	Up to 80,000 L	✅ Perfect for light-use facilities

❓ 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.
