Coming Soon - BWT ES Fibreglass Media Filter - 21in to 36in - Sand and Glass Media

BWT ES Fibreglass Media Filter

Top-mounted, 100 percent factory tested, dual-layer fibreglass tank with a 6-way multiport valve and a 10 year tank warranty.

• Physically Stocked, unlike most 'drop-shipping' websites.
• Shipped from VIC, NSW, QLD, WA

The BWT ES Series is a conventional top-mounted media filter built properly. The tank is wound in dual-layer fibreglass with a UV-resistant reinforced outer surface, so it holds up to full sun on an exposed equipment pad rather than chalking and going brittle after a few summers.

Every unit is factory tested before it ships and comes fitted with a 6-way multiport valve on an angle-adjustable union - a genuinely useful detail on a changeover, where it lets you line the valve up to existing pipework instead of forcing the plumbing to meet the tank. An in-line backwash sight glass, oil-filled stainless pressure gauge and metric/imperial quick connect round out the fittings.

Six tank sizes are available from 21 inch through to 36 inch. The two smaller sizes use a 40mm clamp-style multiport valve, while the 25 inch and larger tanks are available with a 50mm bolt-down multiport valve for higher flow installations.

Models and Dimensions

Operating Limits

• Maximum water temperature: 43 degrees C
• Maximum working pressure: 2.5 bar
• Mounting: top-mounted multiport valve

Sand or Glass Media

These tanks will run on either graded filter sand or crushed glass media. Glass media filters finer, weighs less per tank fill, resists channelling and typically lasts longer between changeouts, though it costs more up front. The media quantities for both options are listed in the table above - note that a glass fill uses a coarse bottom layer and a fine top layer.

Warranty

• 10 years - filter tank
• 12 months - multiport valve

Sizing Guidance

Match the filter to the pump, not the other way around. A filter that is too small for the pump pushes water through the media too fast, which drops filtration quality and drives up pressure. As a general rule, choose a tank whose maximum flow rate comfortably exceeds your pump output at operating head. Oversizing the tank slightly is never a problem and extends the interval between backwashes.

Note: This product must be installed and serviced by a qualified pool equipment technician or licensed professional. We carry more spare parts than anyone.
