Cleaning the AquaStar Pipeline Filter
Cleaning the AquaStar cartridge filter is pretty straightforward. The fact that it is only one giant cartridge has its advantages. The time savings built into this is rather amazing. You can pretty much clean this filter in 5 minutes or less. And the great thing about this is that it has the same flow as a filter twice its size! Watch the video to see how easy the cleaning was.
Here is more about the AquaStar Pipeline Filters:
The actual dimensions of the PLF27000 are 19 ½” wide by 36 ½” tall. The PLF35000 is 19 ½” wide and 46 ½” tall making them amazingly compact.
Here is more about the filters from AquaStar:
Model # PLF27000
200 sq ft cartridge
Commercial:
27,000 gallons
6-Hour Turnover Capacity
Residential:
108,000 gallons
12-Hour Turnover Capacity
Model # PLF35000
250 sq ft cartridge
Commercial:
35,000 gallons
6-Hour Turnover Capacity
Residential:
144,000 gallons
12-Hour Turnover Capacity
Pay close attention to these specs to the turnover rate. A turnover on a Pentair 520 sq ft cartridge filter is 108,000 in 12 hours. Did you notice that the PLF27000 a 200 sq ft cartridge filter has the same turnover? That is pretty incredible. This is due to the deeper pleats on the cartridge as well as the core of the filter which has 64% larger openings than other cartridge filters.
Essentially if you purchase either of these Pipeline filters they will have more flow than a filter twice their size! In NSF Certification and testing, these filters were rated as one-pass filters. This means that in the turbidity test, one pass of water through was equal to a D.E. Filter. Another impressive point.
The Pipeline filters also feature a Locking Safety Release Collar that remains fully locked while depressurizing. This will prevent the tank from blowing off in the case where someone tries to clean the filter and take the lid off while the filter is under pressure. A great safety feature that every filter should have.
I mentioned the NSF certification so these filters are of course designed and approved for Commercial pools. Note that all of the specs on flow and turbidity testing were reported and confirmed by NSF testing which is an independent testing entity and these numbers came from them and not from any testing done by AquaStar. An important note which makes these specs even more impressive.

Cleaning cartridge pool filters can be a real chore and a real pain. If you do pool service cleaning 4-5 of these during the filter cleaning season can take a toll on your back and your time out on your pool route. The Cyclone Filter Cleaning System solves both of these problems for you. It will make cleaning the cartridges faster and since the cartridge is now off of the ground it will also help with the back pain created by bending over them as you clean them.
