It sits between the pump and the sand or cartridge filter and spins most of the dirt out of the water before it ever reaches the filter, so you backwash less, clean cartridges less and waste less water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIdeal for\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSand filter pools that backwash too often\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCartridge filter pools that need the element cleaned every few weeks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePools with an automatic cleaner or in floor cleaning, where the filter takes a hammering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew pool packages and upgrades to an existing pool, it suits both\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Specs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMultiCyclone 12 (200371):\u003c\/strong\u003e 40mm \/ 1 1\/2\" quick fit unions, 12 hydrocyclones, flow range 40 to 300 litres a minute (2.4 to 18 m3\/hr)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMultiCyclone 16 GEN2 (200502):\u003c\/strong\u003e 50mm \/ 2\" quick fit unions, 16 hydrocyclones, flow range 50 to 500 litres a minute (3 to 30 m3\/hr)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMultiCyclone PRO (200385):\u003c\/strong\u003e 50mm, the higher pressure commercial version of the 16, for plumbing that runs above the domestic 350 kPa limit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMultiCyclone PRO 7 Bar (2003850):\u003c\/strong\u003e 50mm, rated to 7 bar (700 kPa)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax pressure (12 and 16):\u003c\/strong\u003e 350 kPa (50 psi), fit a pressure regulating valve upstream if your pump or supply can go higher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow much dirt it takes:\u003c\/strong\u003e up to 80% of the dirt load, with no drop in flow as the dirt builds up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCleaning:\u003c\/strong\u003e open the 25mm purge valve and about 15 litres goes to waste.

Waterco says it can cut a sand filter to one backwash a year, saving up to 7,000 litres of water a year on an average home pool. Pick the size by your pump's flow, not your pool's volume: the 12 for pumps up to 300 litres a minute, the 16 for bigger pumps. If you are not sure, tell us your pump model and we will tell you which one. One catch: do not add granular pool chemicals through the skimmer with this fitted, unless you can bypass it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is plumbed in after the pump and before the filter, with the purge valve piped to a waste line. Fit it yourself, or use a pool installer or plumber. Mount it level on firm ground or on the optional Waterco MultiCyclone stand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWarranty \u0026amp; Support\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e2 year warranty, plus 1 year on labour.
