Prefilters for your pool and filtration system
A pre-filter is a smart addition to your pool installation. The device is placed in front of your pump or filter barrel and catches coarser debris such as sand, leaves or hair before it enters your pump or filter system. This makes your filter less likely to clog, reduces the need to backwash and extends the life of your pool pump and filter media. Whether you have a large built-in pool or a smaller setup pool, a pre-filter increases the efficiency and ease of your pool maintenance.
Why choose a pre-filter?
Pre-filters ensure that the largest dirt is filtered out of the water at an early stage. Especially if your pool is located in a garden with many plants or sandy soil, this offers many advantages. It prevents premature wear and tear on your pump and an overloaded filter system. It also ensures better water quality because dirt particles disappear from the system faster.
What types of prefilters are there?
You can choose from different types of pre-filters, depending on your pool type and installation:
- Hydrocyclone prefilters (such as MultiCyclone): operate without moving parts and use centrifugal force to separate dirt from the water. They are low-maintenance and efficient.
- Basket filters or pre-filter baskets: are usually in the pump itself or as a separate unit and hold coarser debris in a filter basket.
- Inline prefilters: are separate housings with a replaceable filter bag or cartridge, ideal for finer filtration.
