AstralPool UF80 Ultra Fine Filter
Advanced Cartridge Filtration for Ultra-Fine Clarity
The AstralPool UF80 Ultra Fine Filter delivers exceptional water clarity through innovative depth-style cartridge filtration, capturing finer particles than traditional media filters. Designed with premium materials and user-friendly functionality, the UF80 is ideal for pool owners looking to reduce water waste, eliminate backwashing, and simplify ongoing maintenance—all while enjoying consistently clear, sparkling water.
Why Choose the UF80 Over Traditional Sand or Glass Filters?
Unlike backwashable media filters, the UF80 uses a pleated ultra-fine cartridge to physically trap debris down to a few microns in size. This reduces water consumption, avoids media replacement, and improves overall hygiene by preventing trapped contaminants from being flushed back into your pool.
Cartridge Filtration Made Easy
The high-capacity pleated cartridge is engineered for long cleaning cycles. When pressure increases, simply remove, hose down, and reinsert—no special tools, media replacement, or wasteful discharge required.

Q1: How often should I clean the UF80 cartridge?
Depending on pool size and debris load, most residential pools require a clean every 4–8 weeks. Monitor pressure and rinse when it rises ~10 kPa above clean baseline.
Q2: Can this replace my sand or glass media filter?
Yes. The UF80 is a direct replacement for medium-sized sand filters. It eliminates backwashing, reduces water usage, and traps smaller particles for improved clarity.
Q3: Is the UF80 suitable for saltwater pools?
Absolutely. The housing is UV-stabilised and compatible with salt, chlorine, and mineral-based systems commonly used in Australian pools.
