Waterco Micron Top Mount Media Filter
Durable fibreglass construction with efficient depth-bed filtration
The Micron Top Mount is Waterco’s flagship residential/media filter built from corrosion-proof, UV-resistant fibreglass for long service life. Its engineered laterals deliver balanced flow through the media bed for clearer, sparkling water and reliable backwashing—ideal for modern multi-speed and variable-speed pumps.
A compact top-mount multiport valve keeps plumbing neat and service simple, while the seamless tank design minimises head-loss and maintenance. Sizes cover small to large pools, with factory-matched valve diameters for low water-flow resistance.
Key Features
- Filament-wound fibreglass tank – seamless, rust-proof and UV-resistant.
- Hydraulically balanced laterals for even distribution and efficient backwash.
- Top-mount six-position valve for filter/backwash/rinse/waste/recirculate/close.
- Low water-flow resistance for better performance with variable-speed pumps.
- Engineered for sand, glass or zeolite media (media capacities per model).

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What media should I use?
The Micron Top Mount is compatible with silica sand, glass media and zeolite. Media capacities (litres and kilograms) vary by model—see the specification table.
Q2: How do I size the filter?
Use the max flow and max pool size columns (6-hour turnover basis) as a guide. When in doubt, choose the larger model to reduce head-loss and extend backwash intervals.
Q3: What’s the advantage of the ECO (50 mm valve) versions?
The ECO models (e.g., S602, S702, S800, S900) ship with a hydraulically efficient 50 mm multiport valve that reduces overall water-flow resistance and pairs well with variable-speed pumps.
Q4: Is maintenance difficult?
Routine backwashing via the top-mount valve is straightforward. Balanced laterals help lift and clean the media bed evenly, improving performance and extending media life.
