Why You'll Love It
Superior Water Clarity
Diatomaceous Earth (DE) is the most effective filter media available, trapping particles as small as 3-5 microns for a polished water finish.
Extended Filter Cycles
The Bump-Action handle allows for internal cleaning of the Flex-Tubes, redistributing DE powder to extend the time between full cleanings.
Durable Matrix Pump
The 1 HP pump features a heavy-duty motor and an oversized strainer basket to manage debris efficiently while protecting the internal components.
Corrosion-Proof Construction
Both the filter tank and pump housing are injection-molded from advanced thermoplastic for long-term resistance to pool chemicals and UV exposure.
PRO TIP
To maintain peak efficiency, perform the "bump" procedure only when the pressure gauge rises 8-10 PSI above its initial start-up reading. This ensures you maximize the life of your DE powder before requiring a full recharge.
Always follow manufacturer instructions and local codes. Proper installation, operation, and routine maintenance help ensure optimal performance and longevity.
