CARTRIDGE POOL FILTER INSTALLATION FOR POOLS UP TO 45,000L

Product Description

The GL50 Crystal Clear Cartridge Pool Filter Installation is a complete supply and installation service for pool owners in Gauteng East who need a cartridge pool filter replacement for a residential swimming pool. This service includes the black GL50 Crystal Clear cartridge pool filter, high capacity pleated cartridge, standard installation labour, old filter removal where suitable, pipework adjustments and basic testing after installation.

The GL50 is suitable for residential pools up to 45,000 litres, depending on pump size, circulation layout, pipework condition and the full pool system setup. The supplied installation information recommends matching this filter with a 0.75kW pool pump to support correct filtration performance and warranty validity.

This cartridge filter is designed to capture fine dirt and debris using a 4.7 square metre pleated cartridge element. Unlike a sand filter, it does not need backwashing. The cartridge is removed, rinsed and reused, helping reduce water wastage while keeping maintenance simple for the pool owner.

The GL50 can be used as a standalone filtration system or installed after a sand filter as a polishing stage to further improve water clarity. It is suitable for residential pools, spas, water features and light commercial applications where fine filtration is required.

This filter is best suited to indoor pools, covered pools, regularly maintained pools and outdoor pools with a lower debris load. It is not the most practical option for pools surrounded by heavy trees, large gardens, constant leaf fall or high debris conditions, as the cartridge may require more frequent cleaning.

This is a supply and installation package, not a supply only product listing. The installation is based on using the existing above ground filter position where suitable, with the new filter installed on a flat surface only. Any extra plumbing, pump replacement, electrical work, site preparation or repairs to faulty existing infrastructure must be quoted separately before work is done.
