I. Core Positioning & Technical Features
1.Model Breakdown
- "150" in S8M150 denotes filtration area (150 sq ft), designed for large pools or high-flow scenarios (e.g., public pools, resorts).
- Part of the Sand Dollar Series, using multi-layer quartz sand filtration (20-40 micron precision).
2. Design Highlights
- Top-Mount 6-Port Valve: Integrates 6 functions (Filter/Backwash/Waste/Recirculate/etc.) for simplified operation.
- Unibody Reinforced Base: Enhances stability, reduces vibration, and extends service life.
- Rotating Unions: Standard 50mm connections enable rapid plumbing integration.
3. System Compatibility
- Requires 2HP+ pumps (e.g., Pentair IntelliFlo), supporting max flow rates of ~150 GPM.
- Tank crafted from fiberglass-reinforced composite (pressure rating ≥50 PSI).
II. Applications & Performance Advantages
- Commercial Capacity: Built for Olympic pools, water parks, and high-contaminant-load environments.
- Plug-and-Play: Pre-configured pump mounting bases (e.g., Swimmey self-priming pumps) for rapid deployment.
- Low Maintenance: Backwash every ~2 weeks (7-9 tons water/cycle); sand replacement every 5 years (~300kg).
III. Technical Specifications (Series Reference)
| Parameter | Value |
|---------------------|--------------------|
| Filtration Area | 150 ft² |
| Max Working Pressure| 50 PSI |
| Connection Size | 50mm Rotating Union|
| Media Type/Volume | Quartz Sand/~300kg |
| Recommended Pump | ≥2 HP |
IV. Maintenance & Support
- Common Issues: Valve seal aging, pressure gauge calibration drift (regular checks advised).
- Genuine Parts: Use OEM sand (#S8M150) and O-ring kits.
- Support Channels:
- Request full manuals (installation diagrams/parts lists) via [Pentair myNDC](https://ndc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/99).
- Contact regional service centers for troubleshooting.
Note: Optimized for commercial use. Residential pools should consider smaller models (e.g., S8M50). Never exceed pressure limits to avoid tank damage.
