The Quality SuperFlo Q160 4 Bag Grey Sand Filter is a heavy duty swimming pool sand filter designed to help remove suspended dirt and debris from pool water as part of a properly matched filtration system. It is built for pool owners who need a larger filter option with practical maintenance control and reliable daily filtration.
The Q160 model has a 610mm tank diameter and uses 160kg of special filter sand. This places it in the 4 bag filter category, making it a good match for medium to large residential pool systems where a smaller filter may not provide enough filtration area.
A sand filter works by pushing pool water through the filter media. Dirt and fine debris are trapped inside the sand bed, while cleaner water returns to the pool. Over time, the filter pressure rises as dirt collects in the sand. The filter is then backwashed to flush out the trapped debris and restore flow.
The Quality SuperFlo Q160 includes a 6 way multi port valve, giving the pool owner or installer control over key filter functions. These functions include Filter, Backwash, Rinse, Waste, Recirculate and Closed. This makes day to day pool maintenance easier and helps support correct filter care.
The supplied product information recommends pairing the Q160 with a 1.1kW pool pump. Correct pump and filter matching is important. A pump that is too small may not provide enough flow, while a pump that is too large can place unnecessary stress on the filter, valve and pipework. For this reason, the full filtration setup should be checked before installation.
The SuperFlo range is designed with a durable tank construction for long term outdoor pool use. The supplied information describes the tank as corrosion resistant and suitable for demanding pool environments. Correct installation still matters. The filter should be installed on a stable level base, connected with suitable plumbing and serviced according to normal pool maintenance routines.
For best results, the Quality SuperFlo Q160 should be installed by a qualified pool professional. The installer should confirm the correct pump size, pipe layout, valve position, sand quantity, filter media type and backwash line setup before use.

The multi port valve allows you to choose different filter functions, including filter, backwash, rinse, waste, recirculate and closed. These settings are used for normal filtration and maintenance.
The filter setting is used for normal daily pool filtration. Water passes through the sand bed, where dirt and debris are trapped before the water returns to the pool.
Backwash reverses water flow through the sand filter to flush trapped dirt out through the waste line. It is normally done when the pressure rises or when the filter needs cleaning.
Rinse is used after backwashing to settle the sand bed and flush remaining dirty water out through the waste line before returning to normal filtration.
Waste sends water out through the waste line without passing it back to the pool. It can be used when lowering water level or vacuuming heavy dirt to waste.
Recirculate bypasses the filter media and sends water back to the pool. It is used only in specific situations where water movement is needed without filtration.
The supplied product information states the sand requirement but does not state that sand is included. Confirm with the retailer before purchase.
Yes. Professional installation is recommended to ensure the correct pump match, sand quantity, valve setup, plumbing, base and backwash line.
A sand filter should be backwashed when pressure rises, rinsed after backwashing and checked regularly for leaks, correct valve operation and proper water flow. Filter sand should also be replaced when it no longer filters effectively.
