A tank, a media bed, and a valve with six or seven positions · review
The largest system here: 13 200 l/h against 12 m of head, a tank taking up to 30 kg of sand, a timer adjustable from one to twenty-four hours, and self-priming operation.
The bottom line The big one, and it earns it on figures. Thirteen thousand two hundred litres an hour against twelve metres of head is the widest curve on this shelf, thirty kilograms is the deepest bed, and the timer is what turns a specification into a season of actual filtration. The missing pump wattage is the cost of that — it is the one figure that would say what the flow costs to produce.
A sand filter system with a maximum delivery of 13 200 l/h against a maximum height difference of 12 m, for pools up to 40 000 litres. The tank holds up to 30 kg of sand, and 1 200 g of filter balls are supplied.
The seven-way valve covers backwashing, filtering, rinsing, draining, circulating, closed and winter. Operation is self-priming once filled with water. An integrated timer starts the system daily, adjustable from 1 to 24 hours. A pressure gauge reads to 2 bar, and the tank and pump sit on a base. An integrated adapter takes Ø 32 mm or Ø 38 mm hose.
13 200 l/h at one end, 12 m of head at the other.
Both figures are the highest in this family, and having both is what makes them readable — a high flow with an unpublished head is a bench number, and a high head with no flow is a pump that pushes hard and moves little.
The largest media charge on this shelf, against 10 kg at the other end and one system that publishes no figure at all.
What it buys is bed depth. What it costs is a second purchase of thirty kilograms of sand, which is a sack to carry and a figure to add back to the price — and which is why the 1 200 g of filter balls supplied are worth noting as a genuine starting quantity rather than a sample.
A pool is turned over by a filter that runs, not by one that could.
One to twenty-four hours, starting daily, is the difference between a published flow rate and an actual season of filtration — and it is the feature least likely to appear in a comparison and most likely to matter in August.
The German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores sat between 155 € and 200 € at the single check this page is built on.
The American and British Amazon stores gave back nothing, so the buy button there lands on a search instead of a blank page.

That the pump can draw water up to itself rather than needing to be below the water line. The maker states it is filled with water and then supplies itself, which decides where the system can physically be sited relative to the pool.
It starts the system daily for a set number of hours, from one to twenty-four. On a pool where turnover is the point, running the filter on a schedule rather than on memory is what makes the published flow mean anything over a season.
It is the largest charge in this family — one system here takes 10 kg and another does not publish a figure at all. More medium is more bed depth, and bed depth is part of what a flow passes through. What no maker here publishes is the fineness that bed achieves.
A 40 000-litre pool where the system is expected to run on a schedule and be left alone

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
6 056 l/h pump, 4 920 l/h through-flow, 38.5 cm tank, 36 kg sand
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.
Best for: A first sand system, where knowing exactly what else to order is worth more than a headline flow
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
