📍 Pool Sizing Guide

Sizing Principle: The filter flow rate should turn over the entire pool volume within 6-8 hours for optimal water clarity and hygiene.

Formula:

Maximum Pool Volume = Flow Rate × Turnover Time
14 m³/hr × 6 hours = 84,000 litres (optimal)
14 m³/hr × 8 hours = 112,000 litres (maximum)

Pool Size Compatibility

Pool Type	Volume Range	Suitability
🏊 Medium above-ground	20,000-50,000 L	✅ Excellent – rapid turnover
🏊 Large above-ground	50,000-84,000 L	✅ Excellent – ideal match
🏠 Small in-ground	Up to 50,000 L	✅ Excellent – oversized for clarity
🏠 Medium in-ground	50,000-84,000 L	✅ Good – 6-hour turnover
🏠 Large in-ground	84,000-112,000 L	✅ Acceptable – 8-hour turnover
🏠 Very large in-ground	112,000+ L	⚠️ Consider larger filter/pump

This Package:

📍 Filter Flow Rate: 14 m³/hr
📍 Pump Flow Rate: 13.8 m³/hr @ 10m head
📍 Recommended for pools up to: 84,000 litres
📍 Maximum pool capacity: 112,000 litres (with 8-hour turnover)

🧹 Maintenance Guide

Routine Maintenance

Task	Frequency	Procedure
Check pressure gauge	Weekly	Normal operating range: 0.5-1.5 bar
Empty pump strainer basket	Weekly	Remove debris, inspect seal
Backwash filter	When pressure rises 0.5-1 bar above baseline	Until sight glass runs clear (2-3 minutes)
Rinse after backwash	After each backwash	30-60 seconds to settle media
Inspect filter seals	Start/end of season	Replace if worn or damaged
Check sand level	Annually	Top up if below recommended level
Full sand replacement	Every 5-7 years	Replace all 140kg of filter media

Pressure Gauge Guide

📊 Clean filter baseline: 0.5-1.0 bar (varies by installation)
📊 Backwash required: When 0.5-1 bar above baseline
📊 Maximum safe operating pressure: 2.5 bar
⚠️ Never exceed 2.5 bar working pressure

Backwash Water Usage

The 24-inch filter uses more water during backwash than smaller models due to its increased sand capacity. Typical backwash cycle uses approximately 300-400 litres. Plan for adequate drainage capacity.

Winterisation (UK Climate)

Essential steps for protecting your equipment during freezing conditions:

1. Filter Tank – Drain completely via drain plug; remove and store plug safely
2. Multiport Valve – Set handle between positions to prevent seal compression
3. Pump – Drain pump body completely; remove all drain plugs
4. Strainer Basket – Remove, clean thoroughly, and store dry
5. Pipework – Drain all connecting pipes; consider antifreeze in exposed sections
6. Protection – Cover equipment or relocate to frost-free storage if possible

⚠️ Critical: Never leave water in filter tank or pump during freezing conditions – ice expansion causes permanent damage

🪨 Filter Media Information

Compatible Media Types

Media Type	Filtration Rating	Lifespan	Key Benefits
Silica Sand (Grade 16)	20-40 microns	5-7 years	Economical, proven reliability
Glass Media	5-15 microns	10+ years	Finer filtration, eco-friendly, longer life
ZeoSand/Zeolite	3-5 microns	5 years	Superior clarity, ammonia absorption

Media Capacity: 140 kg

Recommended Sand Grade: 16/30 grade silica sand (0.4-0.8mm grain size)

Media Quantity Guide

Media Type	Required Quantity
Silica Sand	140 kg (typically 3 x 25kg bags + additional)
Glass Media	~112 kg (20% less by weight than sand)
ZeoSand	~70 kg (50% less by weight than sand)

Signs Filter Media Needs Replacing

• Persistent cloudy water despite correct chemical balance
• Short filter cycles between backwashes
• Murky water returning to pool after filtration
• Increased chemical consumption
• Sand particles appearing in pool (may indicate lateral damage)

🔬 Filtration Performance

Metric	Value
Filter Area	0.28 m²
Filtration Rating (Sand)	20-40 microns
Filtration Rating (Glass)	5-15 microns
Flow Rate	14 m³/hr

Micron Rating Guide

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

💡 Upgrade Tip: Switching to glass media provides 5-15 micron filtration without replacing your filter – a cost-effective upgrade for noticeably clearer water.

⚙️ Multiport Valve Positions & Functions

Position	Function
Filter	Normal filtration – water passes through sand and returns clean to pool
Backwash	Reverses water flow to flush trapped debris to waste
Rinse	Settles sand after backwash and clears residual debris
Waste	Bypasses filter, drains water directly to waste (ideal for vacuuming heavy debris)
Recirculate	Bypasses filter, returns water directly to pool (for chemical distribution)
Closed	Stops all water flow through valve

⚠️ Important: Always switch off pump before changing valve position to prevent damage to internal seals and components.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What size pool will this filter and pump handle? A: This package suits pools up to 84,000 litres with a 6-hour turnover, or up to 112,000 litres with an 8-hour turnover. The filter flow rate is 14 m³/hr, well matched with the 0.75HP pump output.

Q: How does this compare to the 20-inch Vision filter? A: The 24-inch FVS24 offers 40% more filter area (0.28 m² vs 0.20 m²), 40% higher flow rate (14 m³/hr vs 10 m³/hr), and 55% more sand capacity (140kg vs 90kg). Ideal for pools over 60,000 litres.

Q: How often do I need to backwash the filter? A: Backwash when the pressure gauge reads 0.5-1 bar above your clean baseline. This typically occurs every 1-2 weeks during swimming season, depending on usage and debris levels.

Q: What filter media should I use? A: The filter accepts 140kg of Grade 16 silica sand (20-40 micron filtration). For enhanced clarity, consider glass media (5-15 microns) or ZeoSand (3-5 microns).

Q: How long does the sand last? A: Silica sand typically provides 5-7 years of service before replacement. Glass media can last 10+ years. Replace when water clarity deteriorates despite proper maintenance.

Q: Is this package suitable for salt chlorinated pools? A: Yes, both the Vision filter and Euroswim pump are approved for use with salt water chlorination systems.

Q: How quiet is the pump? A: The Euroswim 0.75HP operates at 53-64 LpA – among the quietest pool pumps in its class. Suitable for installation near outdoor living areas.

Q: What warranty is included? A: The Vision filter tank carries a 10-year warranty for residential installations, with 1 year on components. Contact Parts4Tubs for full pump warranty terms.

Q: Can I use Baquacil sanitiser with this filter? A: No. Vision filters are NOT compatible with Baquacil (PHMB) sanitiser systems. Use chlorine, bromine, or salt chlorination only.

Q: What electrical supply does the pump require? A: The EUP071 requires a 220V single-phase electrical supply. Always use a qualified electrician for installation.

Q: How heavy is the filter when filled? A: With 140kg of sand plus water, the filled filter weighs approximately 200-220kg. Ensure your installation base can support this weight.
