Waterco MultiCyclone DUO 250 Centrifugal Pool Filter

At a Glance

The Waterco MultiCyclone DUO 250 is a pool filter and a pre-filter in one tank. Water spins through 16 hydrocyclones first, which drop the heavy dirt into a clear chamber, then passes through a 250 square foot cartridge. Less dirt on the cartridge means less cleaning and a longer element life.

Ideal for

• New pool packages where you want one compact filter instead of a pre-filter plus a separate filter
• Pools with pumps running up to 500 litres a minute
• Owners who are sick of pulling and hosing cartridges
• Replacing an old cartridge filter with something that needs less maintenance

Why We Like It

It does two jobs in a small footprint, and the 10 year tank warranty says Waterco trusts the build. The cartridge change is simple: press the plunger, turn the lock ring, lift. If your pump runs over 500 litres a minute it is too small, so tell us the pump model and we will confirm it suits. Do not add granular pool chemicals through the skimmer with this fitted, unless you can bypass it.

Installation

It is plumbed in after the pump, with the drain piped to waste. Fit it yourself, or use a pool installer or plumber. Fit a pressure regulating valve if your pump or supply can go above 350 kPa.

Warranty & Support

10 year warranty on the tank, 3 years on the MultiCyclone components, 1 year on all other components and labour. Commercial installations are covered for 1 year. Questions? Call 07 863 8064, real people, Waihi and Kopu stores, Mon to Fri.
