POOL FILTER QUALITY SUPERFLO Q120 3 BAG Product Description: The Quality SuperFlo Q120 3 Bag Sand Filter is a reliable swimming pool sand filter designed to remove suspended dirt and debris from pool water as part of a properly matched pool filtration system. It is built for pool owners who need a strong, practical and easy to maintain filter for a residential swimming pool. The Q120 model has a 565mm tank diameter and uses 120kg of Quality filter sand. This places it in the 3 bag filter category, making it a good match for medium sized pool systems where a smaller 2 bag filter may not offer enough filter capacity, but where a larger 4 bag or 5 bag filter is not required. A sand filter works by allowing the pool pump to push water through a bed of filter sand. Dirt and fine debris are trapped in the sand, while cleaner water returns to the pool. As dirt builds up inside the filter, the filter pressure rises. The system is then backwashed to flush trapped debris out through the waste line and restore better flow. The Quality SuperFlo Q120 includes a multi port valve, which allows the pool owner or installer to change filter functions for normal operation and maintenance. The valve is used for everyday filtering, backwashing, rinsing and other pool system tasks depending on the setup. Correct pump and filter pairing is important. The supplied product information recommends using the Q120 with a 0.75kW pool pump. A correctly matched pump helps the filter work efficiently without placing unnecessary pressure on the tank, valve or pipework. If the pump is too small, circulation may be weak. If the pump is too large, it can place stress on the filtration system. The supplied information describes the filter as built from corrosion proof, heavy duty materials, making it suitable for normal outdoor pool equipment environments. Correct installation is still important. The filter should be placed on a stable, level base, connected with suitable plumbing and filled with the correct amount of filter sand before use. For best results, the Quality SuperFlo Q120 should be installed by a qualified pool professional. The installer should confirm pump size, pipe layout, valve orientation, sand quantity, waste line setup and proper system pressure before operation.
