The Waterco 2" MultiCyclone 50 Pre-Filter captures up to 80% of incoming pool sediment before it reaches your primary filter, significantly extending cleaning intervals and reducing backwash frequency. Utilizing 16 precision hydrocyclones, the unit generates centrifugal force that spins heavier debris down into a clear polycarbonate collection chamber while directing cleaner water directly toward your cartridge, sand, or diatomaceous earth filter.
This pre-filtration architecture eliminates the need for replaceable filter media, internal pumps, or complex mechanical components. Accumulated solids purge quickly through a dedicated 1-inch valve using approximately four gallons of water, protecting your main filtration stage from abrasive buildup and conserving household supplies. The glass-filled reinforced thermoplastic housing resists UV degradation and chemical corrosion for reliable outdoor operation.
Flow Specifications & System Integration
Designed to mount vertically after your pool pump and before your primary filtration equipment, the 200370 model integrates seamlessly with standard 2" / 50mm quick-fit union plumbing. It maintains consistent hydraulics across a 13-to-132 GPM operating range at pressures up to 50 PSI. Suitable for residential setups, commercial facilities, in-floor cleaning networks, and automated vacuum systems, the transparent chamber provides instant visual maintenance cues. When flushed according to manufacturer guidelines, this unit safeguards system flow rates and prevents premature media loading. Includes Waterco’s 2-year limited warranty.
