Frequently Asked Questions - Ecoclear ASTRALPOOL

How often should I backwash the AstralPool Ecoclear filter?

Backwash when the pressure gauge rises 8-10 psi above normal. Typically every 1-2 weeks during peak season.

What type of sand should I use for the Ecoclear filter?

Use #20 silica sand with a grain size of 0.45-0.55 mm. Do not use glass or alternative media unless specified.

How much sand is needed for the Ecoclear filter?

Amount varies by model. Typically 100-200 kg for larger models. Refer to the manual for exact quantity based on tank diameter.

Can I replace sand with glass media?

Yes, but not recommended. AstralPool designed the Ecoclear for silica sand. If you switch, adjust backwash frequency and monitor pressure.

What is the maximum operating pressure of the Ecoclear?

2.5 bar (36 psi). Do not exceed this pressure; use a pressure relief valve.

How do I drain water from the filter manually?

Open the 1/4" manual water drain valve located at the bottom of the tank. Ensure the pump is off.

Why is my filter not filtering properly?

Possible causes: clogged sand, broken laterals, or insufficient water flow. Check pressure gauge and inspect the nozzle plate.

How often should I replace the sand?

Every 3-5 years, depending on usage and water quality. Signs: channeling, poor filtration, or increased backwash frequency.

Is the Ecoclear filter suitable for saltwater pools?

Yes, but use corrosion-resistant components. The fiberglass tank is saltwater-compatible, but metal fittings may require extra care.

Where can I find spare parts for the Ecoclear?

Contact AstralPool authorized dealers or online pool supply stores. Common parts: manhole gasket (400 mm), sight glass, and nozzle plate.
