Swimline Sand Filter System

Yes, this system is designed specifically for smaller above-ground pools, including inflatable, frame, and rigid-wall styles, provided your pool capacity is under 10,500 gallons.

The 14-inch tank requires 60 pounds of filter sand to operate correctly. Please ensure you use standard pool-grade filter sand rather than play sand or other alternatives.

The 4-way valve allows you to control the water flow for four specific tasks: Filter (normal operation), Backwash (to clean the sand bed), Rinse (to settle the sand after backwashing), and Waste (to drain water directly out without passing through the filter).

Yes, this is a complete, ready-to-install package. It includes the pump, the tank, and the necessary hardware to get the system running, though you will need to supply the sand and ensure you have the appropriate hose connections for your specific pool.

You should monitor the pressure gauge on your system. When the pressure rises significantly above the normal operating range, it indicates that the sand bed is clogged with debris and needs to be backwashed.

This system features a 0.45 HP pump with a 2,400 GPH capacity, which is optimized for smaller pools up to 10,500 gallons. It is not recommended for larger pools, as it will not provide the necessary turnover rate to keep the water clean and clear.
