Swimline Sand Filter System

This system is specifically engineered for soft-sided and above-ground pools with a capacity of up to 8,000 gallons.

Sand filters generally require less frequent maintenance than cartridge filters. While cartridges need regular cleaning or replacement, this system uses a 4-way multiport valve to backwash the sand, which is a more efficient and long-term solution for keeping your water clear.

Yes, this is an all-in-one system that includes both the 1/3 HP pump and the 12-inch reinforced sand filter tank. You will just need to provide the appropriate pool sand and ensure your hose connections are compatible with your existing pool setup.

The valve allows you to control the water flow through the system. You can easily switch between filtration for daily cleaning, backwash to clean the sand media, rinse to settle the sand after backwashing, and a winter setting for off-season storage.

No, this system features a single-speed 1/3 HP pump. It is designed to run at a consistent flow rate of 33 GPM, which is optimized for the size of the filter tank.

Maintenance is minimal. You will primarily need to monitor the pressure gauge on the tank; when the pressure rises, it indicates the sand needs to be backwashed, which takes only a few minutes using the multiport valve.
