Traps solids before they reach impellers or filters

Installed Upstream of the Pump

This pool pre-filter is placed before the circulation pump. It captures leaves, hair, and loose packaging — all of which damage moving parts or block filter media. The housing is stainless steel (AISI 304 or 316). PVC flanges connect to standard pipe layouts.

Designed for constant pressure and contact with pool chemicals. Can be added to existing circuits without modifications.

No tools, no electronics — just open, rinse, and restart

Manual Cleaning in Under 1 Minute

Commercial-grade pool pre-filter with steel basket

The lid opens with clamp fasteners — no disassembly or tools required. The stainless basket lifts out easily, rinses clean, and drops back in without alignment steps. One person can service the unit without draining the system.

This format is standard in commercial and public pools where maintenance needs to be quick, manual, and predictable.

Reduces clogging and pump load

Pool Pre-Filter Reduces Backwash Cycles.

By holding back coarse debris, the pre-filter keeps downstream filters cleaner. This delays pressure buildup and lowers the number of backwash cycles. Pumps operate with more stable flow and lower energy draw.

Available in multiple diameters and mesh sizes. Delivered sealed and factory-tested — connects directly to standard PVC lines.

FAQ

What does the pre-filter remove?
Leaves, hair, and flexible packaging — the kind of solids that clog sand filters or damage impellers.

Can it be cleaned without shutting the system?
No. The section must be isolated before opening. A bypass can be added for continuous operation.

How often should it be cleaned?
Once a week is standard in public pools. Cleaning takes under a minute and requires no tools.

Is it compatible with existing pumps and filters?
Yes. It connects via standard PVC flanges and fits most commercial layouts without modification.

What’s the recommended mesh size?
3–5 mm is typical. Finer options are available for spas or low-flow setups.

Can it be used in saltwater pools?
Yes. AISI 316 stainless steel is recommended for full corrosion resistance.
