โš™๏ธ What it does

\n

The SD60 is a sand filtration system, meaning:

\n
    \n
  1. Pool water is pushed through a sand bed
  2. \n
  3. Dirt, algae, and debris get trapped in sand
  4. \n
  5. Clean water returns to the pool
  6. \n
  7. You periodically backwash the system to clean the sand
  8. \n
\n

๐Ÿ‘‰ No cartridges, no media replacement every few weeks.

\n
\n

๐Ÿงฑ Build quality

\n
    \n
  • Heavy-duty one-piece molded tank (no seams)
  • \n
  • UV + corrosion resistant plastic
  • \n
  • Large internal sand bed for better filtration efficiency
  • \n
  • Designed for continuous seasonal use (hot climates included)
  • \n

โš ๏ธ Real-world limitations

\n
    \n

  • \n
  • โŒ Needs proper backwashing every 1โ€“3 weeks in heavy use
  • \n
  • โŒ 1.5โ€ plumbing limits flow upgrades unless valve is changed
  • \n
  • โŒ Sand needs replacement every ~3โ€“5 years for best performance
  • \n
  • โŒ Takes significant space on equipment pad
