Waterco MultiCyclone 16 Centrifugal Filter
Reduce filter cleaning and water waste with advanced centrifugal pre-filtration
The MultiCyclone 16 is a high-performance centrifugal pre-filter that removes up to 80% of the incoming sediment load before it ever reaches your primary pool filter. Designed to extend filter life, improve water clarity, and drastically reduce maintenance, this innovative unit offers a powerful first stage of filtration without the need for media or moving parts.
It features 16 internal hydrocyclones, quick-connect 50mm barrel unions, a spacious sediment chamber, and a simple drain valve that releases collected debris using minimal water. Whether you’re using a sand, glass, or cartridge filter system, the MultiCyclone 16 integrates seamlessly and increases system efficiency across the board.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Do I still need a main filter when using the MultiCyclone 16?
Yes — the MultiCyclone 16 is a pre-filter that reduces sediment load but must be paired with a cartridge, sand, or glass media filter to fully clean pool water.
Q2: How do I empty the sediment chamber?
Simply open the drain valve at the base of the unit. Flushing takes just seconds and uses around 15 litres of water.
Q3: Can I install the MultiCyclone 16 on a saltwater pool?
Absolutely. Its corrosion-resistant, UV-stabilised materials are fully compatible with both salt and chlorine-based pools.
Q4: What pump types work best with this unit?
The unit performs well with both single-speed and variable-speed pumps, provided flow rates fall within the recommended range (40–500 L/min).
Q5: Can this help reduce the frequency of cartridge replacements?
Yes — by capturing large volumes of debris before reaching your cartridge, it extends filter life and reduces cleaning or replacement intervals.
