Frequently Asked Questions
How does the C7030 compare to the C5030 (525 sq ft)?
Both are SwimClear four-cartridge filters at 150 GPM in the same 18-inch tank. The C7030 has 200 sq ft more filter area (725 vs. 525 sq ft) — holding more dirt before cleaning and extending service intervals further. It ships taller (53.8 in vs. 47.8 in) and weighs slightly more (107.5 lb vs. 92 lb). Choose the C7030 when you want the absolute maximum SwimClear filter area.
Does the SwimClear require backwashing?
No. SwimClear is a cartridge filter — it does not backwash. Remove the four cartridge elements and rinse with a garden hose to clean. This saves up to 2,500 gallons of water per year compared to sand or D.E. filter backwashing.
