Higher Filtration Bed & Construction Quality
-
Deeper Media Bed Performance: Designed with an increased tank height, allowing for a deeper filtration bed that captures finer particulate matter for crystal-clear pool water.
-
Two-Part Modern White Body: Constructed using two-part polyester-reinforced fiberglass in a crisp, modern white finish.
-
High Working & Test Pressures: Standard operating pressure rating of up to 2.5 bar, factory hydro-tested up to 3.75 bar for ultimate reliability.
-
Folding Diffuser Design: Features an internal folding diffuser that swings aside to facilitate quick media filling and straightforward internal maintenance.
-
Professional Installation Available: To guarantee ideal hydraulic plumbing, pressure relief valve setting, and media loading, contact our team before ordering to schedule installation by our technicians.
Valve Equipment & Internal Venting
Each unit comes supplied with a side-mounted manual 6-way multiport valve. The system includes an internal air vent mechanism inside the vessel to automatically bleed trapped air from the filter pipework, alongside a clear top-mounted pressure gauge for monitoring system pressure.

requently Asked Questions
What is the benefit of the PPG Filter Side Plus over standard side mount filters?
The “Plus” model features a taller vessel design that accommodates a higher filtration bed. This deeper media depth increases contact time and improves dirt-trapping capacity for superior water clarity.
Can Blue Cube Direct install this filter in my plant room?
Yes. We offer professional site installation. Call our technical desk before purchasing so we can assess your setup and book an engineer visit.
What filter media should I use in the Side Plus?
You can use standard 16/30 grade silica sand with a supporting gravel layer, or active glass media such as AFM Grade 1, AFM Grade 2, and AFM Grade 3.
