With a 1.0 SPL HP pump and a rugged composite filter tank, this system is ideal for above-ground or small in-ground pools.

Pro Tip

Use premium #20 silica filter sand or glass media for best results. Always backwash when the pressure gauge rises 8–10 PSI over clean start-up pressure.

Installation Tips

Place on a solid, level pad. Confirm proper sand fill level before operation. Use unions for flexible plumbing connections and prime the pump before startup.
