Swimline Hydrotools Sand Filter System

This system is rated for pools up to 19,000 gallons. Its compact design and 19-inch tank make it an ideal choice for most standard above-ground pool setups.

Yes, the dual-speed pump allows you to run the system at a lower speed for daily circulation, which consumes significantly less electricity than running at full power constantly. You can switch to the higher speed only when you need maximum flow for backwashing or heavy cleaning.

The tank requires 175 pounds of filter sand to operate correctly. Be sure to use standard pool-grade filter sand specifically designed for sand filtration systems.

The 7-way valve gives you complete control over the water flow, allowing you to easily switch between filtration, backwashing, rinsing, recirculating, draining, and winterizing modes. This versatility makes routine maintenance tasks, like cleaning the sand bed, much simpler.

The system is designed as a complete package, meaning it includes the necessary components to get up and running without needing to source extra parts. While basic mechanical comfort is helpful, the setup is straightforward and intended for standard above-ground pool configurations.

The extra-large debris basket should be checked weekly, or more frequently if your pool is located near trees or heavy foliage. The clear lid allows you to quickly inspect the basket without opening the system, so you only need to clean it when you see debris accumulation.
