Ecostar Filter with Side-Mount Valve – Atlas Pool

Ecostar filter with side-mount valve – main features

After manufacture, every filter passes a test at 3.5 bar pressure. The filter can work with fresh water as well as sea water. Polyethylene does not rust and is also light to carry. The set is ready to connect, so it requires no additional purchases.

• Polypropylene stand;
• the set includes a 3 bar pressure gauge;
• the set includes a multiport side-mount valve (for Ø 1050 mm the set comes without the valve);
• the set includes a drain plug;
• test pressure 3.5 bar;
• sand not included.

Technical parameters of the Ecostar filter with side-mount valve by model

We give the flow at filtration velocities of 30 / 40 / 50 m³/h per m² (at 9 m head).

Dimensions according to the drawing: A – diameter, B – height of the lower port. Also, C is the overall height and D is the distance between the ports.

Useful information when choosing an Ecostar pool sand filter

The most important factors are the width of the sand bed surface and the height of the sand fill. Indeed, the water enters the sand through this very surface. The dimensions of the filter itself are also important – diameter, height and the ratio between them. Filters with non-standard dimensions, however, cannot carry out the filtration process efficiently.

How to fill the filter with sand

Filling the Ecostar filter with side-mount valve is easy if you follow a few steps. Before filling with sand, fill the filter halfway with water. This lets you check whether transport damaged the filter bottom and the collector pipe arms. You avoid cracking the filter when you pour in the sand. You also avoid sand getting into the collector pipe and from there into the pool, or a more serious incident.

1. First pour in the specified amount of the coarsest sand, grade 3–5 mm (if the filter model requires it).
2. Then add the medium sand, grade 1.5–3 mm.
3. Finally, add the fine sand, grade 0.7–1.5 mm.

Reduce the water inflow speed as much as possible to keep the sand bed layered correctly. When filling ends, keep the top level of the sand 10 cm below the level of the upper collector pipe. Otherwise a large amount of sand may escape through the pipe. Also, do not connect the filter to a suction pump whose parameters exceed the maximum for the filter.

Important for installing the Ecostar filter with side-mount valve

Only a qualified technician may install the Ecostar filter with side-mount valve.

IMPORTANT! – Only a qualified technician may install the product and connect it to a suitable filter pump. The technician must follow an existing structural, technological, plumbing and electrical design from a licensed designer. When you connect the filter to a pump, protect the electrical system with a residual-current device (RCD). Do this according to the equipment specification! The Buyer is fully responsible for the correct installation and use of the equipment! The Buyer is also responsible for the condition of the electrical system!
