5 Bag Premium Black Pool Sand Filter Uni (5 year Warranty)
Product Description
The 5 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 720mm corrosion-resistant, UV-stabilised polymer tank, this filter is well-suited 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.
