📐 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 160kg 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

Using the Transparent Valve Ring

The FVS24T’s clear valve mounting ring allows you to:

• Monitor water clarity during filtration in real-time
• Observe backwash effectiveness as debris is flushed
• Confirm when backwash cycle is complete (water runs clear)
• Identify potential issues early before they escalate

Extended Filter Runs

The 160kg sand capacity provides longer filter runs between backwashes compared to smaller filters, meaning:

• Less frequent maintenance
• Reduced water and chemical waste
• More consistent filtration performance

Winterisation (UK Climate)

Essential protection during freezing conditions:

1. Filter Tank – Drain completely via drain plug; store plug safely
2. Multiport Valve – Position handle between settings 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 where possible

⚠️ Critical: Never leave water in filter tank or pump during freezing conditions – ice expansion causes irreparable 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: 160 kg

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

Media Quantity Guide

Media Type	Required Quantity
Silica Sand	160 kg (typically 7 x 25kg bags)
Glass Media	~128 kg (20% less by weight than sand)
ZeoSand	~80 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 delivers 5-15 micron filtration without replacing your filter tank – a worthwhile 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.

Q: What’s the difference between the top mount and side mount 24″ filters? A: The top mount (FVS24T) has the valve on top with a transparent mounting ring for viewing filtration. It also holds 160kg of sand versus 140kg in the side mount. The side mount has a clear lid on top. Top mount offers easier valve access; side mount may suit tighter overhead spaces.

Q: Why does the top mount hold more sand than the side mount? A: The different internal configurations allow the top mount design to accommodate 20kg additional sand (160kg vs 140kg), providing longer filter runs between backwashes.

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. With 160kg sand capacity, expect longer intervals between backwashes – typically every 1-3 weeks depending on usage and debris levels.

Q: What filter media should I use? A: The filter accepts 160kg 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: How heavy is the filter when filled? A: With 160kg of sand plus water, the filled filter weighs approximately 240-260kg. Ensure your installation base can support this substantial weight.
