What is Pentair ClearPro technology?
ClearPro® is a patented technology by Pentair to reach a very fine level of filtration around 4 times higher than with a conventional sand filter (about 10µ vs 40µ). This purity is achieved thanks to new porous laterals which act like additional filters, creating an extra barrier against the finest particles.
How does Pentair Multiport valve work?

What PSI should my sand filter run at?
Your filter may be clean and normal at 9-10 psi, but your neighbor’s filter gauge could run higher, and be clean at 15-16 psi.
