Once installed, the POOLPURE PFT-AF75 filter operates by drawing water from the pool through the pump and into the filter tank. The high-density pleated filter element traps particulate impurities, returning clean water to the pool.

  • Monitoring Pressure: Regularly check the integrated pressure gauge. An increase in pressure indicates that the filter cartridge is accumulating debris and requires cleaning.
  • Optimal Flow: The filter is designed to handle a flow rate of 4,500 GPH, ensuring efficient and rapid water purification for various pool types.
