How does it work?
The AquaSwim sand filter works by allowing the water to cycle through a canister that holds sand. The water simply flows through the sand, however, larger particles are not able to pass through. Once the debris and other particles are filtered out by the sand, the pump passes the clean, filtered water back into the pool.
Speck Pumps, a globally recognized name in the swimming pool, spa and pump industry, have been producing high-quality products in South Africa since 1978.
Filtration process:Unfiltered water is distributed at the top of the sand filter and sinks through the filter bed. The minute pores ensure that the dirt particles are unable to pass through. This filter technology is particularly suitable for pre-filtration of disinfection equipment, irrigation systems, recirculation systems, preparation for micro and ultrafiltration and groundwater cleaning.
