Crystal-Clear Water Starts with FlowCore
Powerful filtration and simple maintenance for a cleaner pool season.
Pressure Gauge
The built-in pressure gauge gives real-time feedback on tank pressure, so you can quickly tell when it is time to backwash and keep water flowing smoothly.
Drain Valve
The drain valve at the base of the tank makes it easy to remove water for winter storage, sand replacement, or filter media changes without heavy lifting.
Clear Cover & Strainer
The semi-transparent cover lets you check debris at a glance, while the removable strainer basket captures leaves, hair, and larger particles before they reach the tank.
Sturdy Base Support
The reinforced base helps absorb motor vibration, reduce noise, and keep the filter system steady during operation.
