Superpool Vortex by Emaux CF Series — Compact, Lightweight, Reliable

Trusted design, widely used: Many brands have supplied these exact cartridge filters over the years, including Zodiac, Neptune, and others. They’re a tried‑and‑proven design with replacement cartridges readily available, making long‑term ownership simple.

UV‑resistant tank with heavy‑duty ring‑lock lid for quick access
Oil‑filled pressure gauge for stable, easy‑to‑read pressure checks
Screw‑type air bleed valve to release trapped air
Universal union connections for straightforward plumbing
Max operating pressure: 250 kPa / 36 psi (2.5 bar)
Max water temperature: 40°C (104°F)

Why pool owners choose the Superpool Vortex by Emaux CF Series

Compact & lightweight: Easy to site and service — twist, lift, rinse, replace.
Consistent clarity: High‑surface‑area cartridge elements capture fine debris for clean, sparkling water.
Low‑maintenance: No backwashing required; just clean the cartridge when the gauge rises.
Proven lineage: The same core design used by well‑known pool brands, with abundant spares.

Replacement Cartridge Elements

Maintain peak performance by cleaning regularly and replacing cartridges when required. Matching elements are available for each model.

Standard elements: CF75‑CE, CF100‑CE, CF150‑CE, CF200‑CE

Maintenance Tips

Switch off the pump and close valves.
Open the air bleed to release pressure, then undo the ring‑lock lid.
Lift out the cartridge and hose it from top to bottom, rotating as you go.
For stubborn oils, soak in a cartridge cleaner as directed. Rinse thoroughly.
Re‑seat the cartridge, check the lid O‑ring, and refit the lid. Tighten evenly.
Restart the pump, close the air bleed when water flows steadily, and note the clean running pressure.

In plumbing, named sizes are not the actual measurements. A pipe called “50mm” or “2"” does not measure 50 mm across. Instead, it follows nominal sizing, an internationally-standardised naming system.

Use the Outside Diameter (OD) to check your pipe against fittings. Below is a quick reference for common spa & pool pipe sizes:

Imperial Name	Metric Name	Pipe Diameter (OD)
1"	25 mm	~33.4–33.7 mm
1.5"	40 mm	~48.1–48.4 mm
2"	50 mm	~60.2–60.5 mm
2.5"	65 mm	~75.2–75.5 mm

These are nominal sizes and are designed to fit matching fittings — not to measure exactly what their name suggests.

Understanding Plumbing Sizes & Nominal Measurements

Plumbing sizes can be confusing. PVC and many other pipe systems use nominal sizes—the size is a name, not the exact measured dimension. This convention is used across most pool and spa systems so that pipes and fittings remain compatible.

Quick example: A 2" / 50 mm fitting is named for the pipe it connects to, but the pipe’s actual outside diameter (OD) is approx. 60.3 mm (typically ~60.2–60.5 mm in AS/NZ pressure pipe).

Why pipe sizes don’t match the measurements

The Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) system standardises pipe dimensions so that pipes, fittings, valves, and accessories interoperate. Plumbers work with these nominal names every day, but DIYers can be tripped up if they try to match by a tape-measure alone.

How to Measure Pipe Correctly

Pipe size is identified by:
- The pipe’s Outside Diameter (OD).
- The fitting’s Inside Diameter (ID) (socket opening).
Pipe Class / Schedule (e.g., Class 9, 12, 18 or Sch 40) relates to wall thickness and therefore the Internal Diameter (ID) and pressure rating.
The outside diameter of a fitting is not useful (wall thickness varies by manufacturer).

Important: For pool/spa work, most plumbing uses Pressure Pipe (AS/NZ standards) — not DWV. Always check OD and the pipe class against your equipment specifications.

Common nominal sizes with typical outside diameters and indicative inside diameters by class.

Imperial Name	Metric Name	Outside Diameter (OD)	Class 9 IDº	Class 12 IDº	Class 18 IDº
1/2"	15 mm	~21.2–21.5 mm		18.3 mm	17.8 mm
3/4"	20 mm	~26.6–26.9 mm		23.7 mm	22.4 mm
1"	25 mm	~33.4–33.7 mm	30.5 mm	29.8 mm	28.1 mm
	32 mm	~42.1–42.4 mm	38.5 mm	37.5 mm	35.4 mm
1.5"	40 mm	~48.1–48.4 mm	45.2 mm	44.1 mm	42.8 mm
2"	50 mm	~60.2–60.5 mm	55.2 mm	53.7 mm	50.5 mm
	65 mm	~75.2–75.5 mm	68.9 mm	67.0 mm	63.2 mm
2.5"		~73 mm

º Internal diameters vary slightly by manufacturer and class.
¹ Not all pool/spa fittings match these dimensions exactly. Some do not follow Australian or international standards. Chinese spas may use proprietary fittings.

Hose & Tube Dimensions

Common flexible hose sizes used in pool/spa systems (approximate IDs).

Imperial Name	Metric Name	Inside Diameter (ID)
3/8"	9–10 mm	~9 mm
3/4"	19 mm	~19 mm

BSP – British Standard Pipe Thread Sizes

BSP thread names are also nominal. The thread OD will not equal the nominal name.

BSP Thread Size Naming	Outside Diameter (mm / inch)	TPI
1/16" BSP	7.7 mm / 0.304"	28
1/8" BSP	9.7 mm / 0.383"	28
1/4" BSP	13.16 mm / 0.518"	19
3/8" BSP	16.66 mm / 0.656"	19
1/2" BSP / 15 mm	20.99 mm / 0.825"	14
