// 01 · Definition
A pool filter is a pressure vessel that captures dirt by passing the water delivered by the pump through a bed of media or a pleated cartridge; a pool filtration system is the filter, pump, multiport valve and pipework working together. This page covers sand filter, cartridge filter, wound filter and pre-filter models for residential and commercial pools. A sand filter is cleaned by backwashing, while a cartridge filter is taken out and rinsed. Selection starts with three pieces of information: the operating flow rate of the pump, the pool volume and the turnover time in which the water passes through the filter. The rated flow of the filter must not be lower than the pump flow rate. For sand filters the filtration area follows from the body diameter, for cartridge filters from the cartridge area; dividing the flow rate by this area gives the filtration velocity.

Selection
Instead of sand, the same vessel can be filled with glass filter media. Separate filter series are used for residential and commercial pools.

Flow range
5-30m³/h
The rated flow of the Aster sand filter is between 5 and 30 m³/h depending on body diameter: Ø350 mm 5, Ø450 mm 8, Ø600 mm 14, Ø750 mm 21 and Ø900 mm 30 m³/h. The rated flow of the filter must not be lower than the operating flow rate of the pump.

4-6hours
The aim is for the entire pool volume to pass through the filter every 4 to 6 hours. For a 48 m³ pool, a 6 hour turnover requires 8 m³/h; the Aster Ø450 mm meets this flow rate.

7.8-14m²
The ClariSave cartridge filter comes in four models, all with a 490 mm body diameter. The cartridge area is 7.8 to 14 m² and the flow rate 10.1 to 25.2 m³/h. Thanks to the large area, water passes through the filter at a low velocity.

50m³/h·m²
For sand filters such as Aster, Vesubio and Berlin & Ivory, the filtration velocity is given as 50 m³/h·m². The Praga, Oslo, Olot and Rodas wound filters have values of 20, 30 or 40 m³/h·m². At the same flow rate, a larger area means a lower velocity and a longer contact time in the bed.

+90 216 475 39 37A sand filter is cleaned by backwashing and needs a backwash line. A cartridge filter is taken out and rinsed, so no backwash line is required. Both types are used in residential pools; the choice depends on the plant room layout, the pump flow rate and how maintenance is carried out. You can request a quote for models and prices.

The diameter is chosen according to the operating flow rate of the pump. In the Aster sand filter, Ø350 mm gives 5, Ø450 mm 8, Ø600 mm 14, Ø750 mm 21 and Ø900 mm 30 m³/h. A 48 m³ pool needs 8 m³/h for a 6 hour turnover; Ø450 mm meets this flow at the upper velocity limit, Ø600 mm at a lower velocity.

Backwashing is done when the pressure on the pressure gauge exceeds the threshold given by the manufacturer. Because the interval depends on the bathing load, it is not tied to a fixed schedule. If the pressure does not return to the clean value after backwashing and the water does not clear even though the chemical values are correct, it is time to consider replacing the media.

Yes, glass filter media is filled into the same pressure vessel in place of sand. Because glass is lighter than sand, the same bed volume is filled with fewer kilograms. In the filters the sand quantity is between 60 and 550 kg and the class 1 glass media quantity between 50 and 375 kg; the correct quantity is read from the filling table of the model.

No, a cartridge filter is not backwashed; the cartridge is taken out and rinsed. The pleated cartridge uses a large area at a low velocity: on the ClariSave 10 model the area is 7.8 m², the flow rate 10.1 m³/h and the velocity about 1.3 m³/h·m². The filtration fineness of the nanofiber cartridge in the product data is 5-8 microns.

Commercial pools have more bathers and a larger volume, so the flow rate and filter area are chosen much higher than for residential pools. That is why there is a separate commercial series: the Vesubio commercial sand filter ranges from Ø450 mm at 8 m³/h to Ø1200 mm at 56 m³/h, while Praga, Oslo, Olot, Rodas and Berlin & Ivory are wound filters.
