How does a sand filter work?
The ProStar 6 sand filter takes its principle from nature - this is also where rainwater is transformed into crystal-clear spring water through filtration in permeable layers of rock. In a sand filter, water passes through silica sand, where even fine impurities are trapped, and only clean, filtered water returns to the pool. It is therefore important to backwash the filter sand frequently so that impurities do not settle in the sand. We recommend backwashing the filter at least once a week.
Composition and description of the sand filter
The ProStar 6 sand filter system consists of a filter tank, which holds 16 - 17 kg of filter sand. The tank is made of high-quality polypropylene (PP). It is seamless, resistant to corrosion and to commonly available chemicals used in pools.
The filter is equipped with a drain valve, a pressure gauge, built-in components of the filter tank including an easy-to-operate 6-way valve (built into the lid of the filter tank), a pump motor with a power input of 450 W, and a plastic base for mounting at the installation site. The system is made of high-quality materials in strict compliance with technical standards and undergoes final inspection.

• Manual
  Notice
• The sand filter is supplied as standard without filter sand and hoses. If you do not have these products, we recommend purchasing them together with the sand filter.
• The ProStar 6 filter can also be used with salt water and can be connected to a salt chlorinator.
  Recommendations for reducing operating costs
  If you use a reduced electricity tariff (i.e. night-time current), you can switch the filter on during the period when this tariff is active. For the filter you can buy a timer socket at hobby markets or online, which switches the filter off and on at a set time. You can thereby significantly reduce operating costs.
