Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How is the deep bed different from the standard Micron top mount?
Deep bed models use a 500 mm media bed (vs a shallower bed on standard tanks) to increase dirt-holding capacity and improve in-depth filtration—useful for larger pools or heavier bather loads.
Q2: Which media can I use?
These filters accept silica sand, glass, or zeolite. The table lists model-specific media volumes to help you order correctly.
Q3: How do I size the filter to my pool?
Use the Max Flow and Max Pool Size as guides. For heated or high-use pools, choose the next size up to extend backwash intervals and lower head loss.
Q4: What maintenance is required?
Routine backwashing via the multiport valve. The hydraulically balanced laterals promote even cleaning of the media bed and help maintain performance between backwashes.
