4 Bag Premium Black Pool Sand Filter Uni (5 year Warranty)

Product Description

The 4 Bag Premium Black Pool Sand Filter Uni (5 year Warranty) is engineered for pool owners who want strong filtration performance, durability in harsh outdoor conditions, and easy, reliable operation. The tank features an extra reinforced seam and a reinforced section where the multiport connects, improving long-term strength in a high-pressure, high-flow environment.

With a 610mm corrosion-resistant, UV-stabilised polymer tank, this filter is well-suited to medium-to-large residential pools where consistent turnover is essential for clarity and chemical distribution. The matte black finish offers improved UV resistance and matches most modern pump finishes, giving a clean, integrated look at the equipment pad.

Operational Note: This unit uses a sight glass for backwash clarity checks (no pressure gauge).

Filter media not included (sold separately). Choose ONE media option below.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I backwash this sand filter (no pressure gauge)?
A practical baseline is every 2–3 weeks, depending on debris load, bather load, and water clarity. Backwash sooner if flow drops or clarity worsens.

How long should I backwash for?
Backwash until the sight glass runs clear (often about 1–3 minutes, depending on how dirty the filter is).

How long should I rinse after backwashing?
Switch to RINSE for 15–30 seconds, then return to FILTER.

Do I need to rinse after backwashing?
Yes. RINSE helps settle the media bed and prevents dirty water returning to the pool when switching back to FILTER.

What does each 6-way multiport setting do?

FILTER: normal filtration
BACKWASH: cleans the media bed
RINSE: settles media after backwash
WASTE: bypasses filter to drain
RECIRCULATE: bypasses filter and returns water to pool
CLOSED: stops flow (only change positions with the pump OFF)

Can I use ECO Glass instead of sand?
Yes. It supports up to 120kg ECO Glass.

Can I vacuum to waste with this filter?
Yes—use the WASTE setting to send dirty water out without loading the filter, especially after storms or heavy cleanup.

What pumps are compatible?
Pairs best with 1.1kW pumps including AQUA MAX, STORM, EARTHeCO, QUALITY, SPECK, and DAB, plus AQUAGEM INVERECO 1.0KW and INVERCAPTAIN 1.05KW / 1.3KW.

Is the valve included?
Yes, a 6-way multiport valve is included.

Is professional installation available?
Yes. PoolDudez.co.za can install and optimise the filter setup for your pump size and pool volume.
