Poolex HDPE-450 Opti side-mount sand filter 7.8 m³

The Poolex HDPE-450 Opti Side Mount sand filter 7.8 m³/h is a durable and powerful sand filter for the efficient filtration of medium-sized swimming pools. With a maximum flow rate of 7.8 m³/h and a filter tank with a diameter of 450 mm, this filter offers an excellent combination of capacity, reliability, and ease of use.

The filter tank is manufactured from strong and recyclable HDPE (High Density Polyethylene). This material is excellently suited for long-term use in pool installations. The side-mounted 6-way valve (Side Mount) makes operation and maintenance simple while keeping the top of the filter tank clear.

According to Poolex, the HDPE-450 has a maximum capacity of 7.8 m³/h, a filter surface area of 0.16 m², and is designed for pools up to approximately 45 m³, assuming a filtration cycle of about 6 hours.

Side Mount 6-way valve

In this version, the 6-way valve is located on the side of the filter tank. This offers a practical setup for technical rooms and makes the top of the tank more accessible.

The main functions of the pool filtration can be set via the 6-way valve:

• Filter – normal filtration of the pool water
• Backwash – backwashing and cleaning the filter medium
• Rinse – rinsing after a backwash
• Waste – discharging water directly to the drain
• Recirculate – circulating water without filtration
• Closed – shutting off the water flow

In addition, the filter features a pressure gauge, which allows for easy monitoring of the pressure in the filter system.

Strong HDPE filter tank

The filter tank is made of recyclable high-density polyethylene (HDPE). The OPTI series has been developed with an emphasis on reliability, durability, and easy maintenance.

The tank has a diameter of 450 mm and a height of approximately 730 mm. Due to its compact dimensions, the filter can also be used in technical rooms where available space is limited.

For the HDPE-450, Poolex specifies a pool volume of up to approximately 45 m³ at a theoretical filtration time of about six hours.

For the best performance, it is important to match the capacity of the pool pump with the sand filter. Also, take into account pipe length, height differences, and other components that cause resistance.

Suitable for both filter sand and filter glass

The Poolex HDPE-450 can be filled with traditional filter sand or with suitable filter glass.

For this model, Poolex specifies the following quantities:

Filter sand: approximately 45 kg
Filter glass: approximately 35 kg

Filter medium is not included as standard.

50 mm connections

The HDPE-450 is equipped with 1½″ / 50 mm connections. This makes the filter particularly suitable for pool installations with 50 mm PVC pipes, and it can be combined with various compatible pool pumps.
