The Quality SuperFlo Q120 3 Bag Sand Filter is a reliable swimming pool sand filter designed to remove suspended dirt and debris from pool water as part of a properly matched pool filtration system. It is built for pool owners who need a strong, practical and easy to maintain filter for a residential swimming pool.
The Q120 model has a 565mm tank diameter and uses 120kg of Quality filter sand. This places it in the 3 bag filter category, making it a good match for medium sized pool systems where a smaller 2 bag filter may not offer enough filter capacity, but where a larger 4 bag or 5 bag filter is not required.
A sand filter works by allowing the pool pump to push water through a bed of filter sand. Dirt and fine debris are trapped in the sand, while cleaner water returns to the pool. As dirt builds up inside the filter, the filter pressure rises. The system is then backwashed to flush trapped debris out through the waste line and restore better flow.
The Quality SuperFlo Q120 includes a multi port valve, which allows the pool owner or installer to change filter functions for normal operation and maintenance. The valve is used for everyday filtering, backwashing, rinsing and other pool system tasks depending on the setup.
Correct pump and filter pairing is important. The supplied product information recommends using the Q120 with a 0.75kW pool pump. A correctly matched pump helps the filter work efficiently without placing unnecessary pressure on the tank, valve or pipework. If the pump is too small, circulation may be weak. If the pump is too large, it can place stress on the filtration system.
The supplied information describes the filter as built from corrosion proof, heavy duty materials, making it suitable for normal outdoor pool equipment environments. Correct installation is still important. The filter should be placed on a stable, level base, connected with suitable plumbing and filled with the correct amount of filter sand before use.
For best results, the Quality SuperFlo Q120 should be installed by a qualified pool professional. The installer should confirm pump size, pipe layout, valve orientation, sand quantity, waste line setup and proper system pressure before operation.
The Quality SuperFlo Q120 is a 3 bag swimming pool sand filter with a 565mm tank diameter and 120kg filter sand capacity. It is used as part of a pool filtration system to help remove dirt and debris from pool water.
The Q120 is best suited to residential pool systems where a 3 bag sand filter is required. The final sizing should be checked against pool volume, pump size, pipework and circulation requirements.
The supplied product information states that the Q120 requires 120kg of Quality filter sand.
The supplied information recommends pairing the Q120 with a 0.75kW pool pump.
The Quality SuperFlo Q120 has a 565mm diameter tank.
The multi port valve allows you to select different filter functions for normal filtration and maintenance. This includes filtering, backwashing, rinsing and other system functions depending on the valve setup.
The filter setting is used for normal daily pool filtration. Water passes through the filter sand, where dirt and debris are trapped before the water returns to the pool.
Backwashing reverses water flow through the filter to flush trapped dirt out through the waste line. This is normally done when filter pressure rises above normal operating pressure.
Rinsing is normally used after backwashing to settle the sand bed and flush remaining dirty water out before returning to normal filter mode.
The supplied product information states that the filter requires 120kg of Quality filter sand, but it does not state that sand is included. Confirm with the retailer before purchase.
Yes. Professional installation is recommended so the filter, pump, valve, pipework, sand level and backwash line are set up correctly.
Backwash when the filter pressure rises above normal operating pressure or when water flow through the system drops. Your pool professional can confirm the correct pressure range for your setup.
Filter sand should be replaced when filtration performance drops, backwashing no longer restores proper flow, or the sand has become clogged, channelled or worn.
