A tank, a media bed, and a valve with six or seven positions · review
The listing that states its media requirement in full — 36 kg of #20 quartz sand or 1 000 g of filter balls, neither included — alongside two flow figures, a 38.5 cm tank and both hoses in the box.
The bottom line The listing that tells you what else to order. Thirty-six kilograms at grain #20 or a kilogram of balls, stated as not included, is exactly the kind of exclusion that turns up on a Saturday afternoon somewhere else on this shelf. Two flow figures and a published tank diameter make it readable, and the six-position valve without a winter setting is the one place it trails the rest of the family.
A sand filter system with a pump output of 6 056 l/h and a through-flow rate of 4 920 l/h, from a 230 W pump, for pools of 1 100 to 39 300 litres. The tank is 38.5 cm and corrosion-resistant, with a prefilter protecting the pump and an easily read pressure gauge. GS certification is stated, and the valve has six positions.
The medium is 36 kg of quartz sand at grain #20 or 1 000 g of Polysphere filter balls — both stated as not included. Supplied: two 4.5 m hoses at Ø 38 mm, an adapter for Ø 32 mm push-on hose, and Ø 32 mm pool nozzles. An integrated timer is fitted.
36 kg quartz sand (grain #20) or 1 000 g Polysphere filter balls — both not included.
That is how an exclusion should be written: the quantity, the grade, the alternative, and the fact that neither is in the box.
A sand filter without medium does nothing at all on the day it arrives, and it is the second purchase this shelf hides most often. Here it is in the feature list, with a grain size that tells you which sack.
Pump output 6 056 l/h. Through-flow 4 920 l/h.
The first is what the motor moves, the second is what passes the system. The gap between them is the filter doing its job, and publishing both is the nearest a listing gets to admitting that a headline flow is a bench figure.
Two systems in this family make the distinction. Seven publish one number.
Filter, backwash, rinse, waste, recirculate, closed — with no winter setting listed.
Five systems in this family publish seven positions including a winter one. It is a small difference and a real one, and it turns up in October.

Because a filter bed works on a grain size range, and #20 is a specific grading. A listing that names the grade has told you which sack to buy; most of this shelf says sand and leaves the grading to the media page.
Pump output is what the pump moves, through-flow is what passes the system. Bestway publishes 6 056 l/h and 4 920 l/h, and the gap between them is the filter itself. Only two listings in this family make that distinction at all.
It is three sacks, and it is not in the box. It is also the honest figure: the tank is 38.5 cm across and that is what fills it. The page adds the media to what the system costs to put into service, because a filter without medium does nothing on the day it arrives.
A first sand system, where knowing exactly what else to order is worth more than a headline flow

10 200 l/h, 400 W, 20 l tank, 60–65 dB(A)/m
The only filter system on this shelf that publishes a noise level with a distance — 60 to 65 dB(A) at one metre — alongside 10 200 l/h from a 400 W pump and 800 g of filter balls.
Best for: A system sited near a terrace, where the decibel figure is the deciding one
9 000 l/h, 7.5 m head, 250 W, 7-way, 32/38 adapter
A 250 W system publishing both ends of its curve — 9 000 l/h and a maximum head of 7.5 m — with a seven-position valve, a pressure gauge, IPX5 and adapters for both hose sizes.
Best for: A mid-sized pool where knowing the head before ordering matters
2 700 l/h flow, 16 l tank, balls supplied, TÜV certified
The smallest and cheapest system here, with a transparent lid so the bed can be watched, a set of filter balls in the box, and a TÜV Rheinland certificate quoted with its ID number.
Best for: A small pool or a spa where the bed being visible matters more than the flow
