What we supply
Sand filtration remains the most practical choice for most pools: the media is cheap, widely available and forgiving, and a correctly sized bed will run for years with nothing more than regular backwashing.
We supply top-mount tanks, where the multiport valve sits on top of the vessel, and side-mount tanks, which suit installations where headroom above the filter is limited. Both are offered with a 6-way multiport valve covering filter, backwash, rinse, waste, recirculate and closed positions.
The critical detail is matching filter area to pump flow. Over-driving a sand bed pushes dirt straight through it and shortens media life, so we check the pairing before quoting rather than after delivery.
Key features
- Top-mount and side-mount configurations
- 6-way multiport valve with pressure gauge
- Corrosion-resistant tank construction
- Sized against pump flow rate, not sold blind
- Drain plug and sight glass options
- Suitable for 0.45 – 0.85 mm silica sand media
- Accepts glass media as an alternative to silica sand
