Features

Outperforming cartridge filters twice its size hydraulically and in clean-ability.

Sizing by Square footage is over.

Performance is king.

Superior performance in three distinct categories

Safe Relase - Pipeline Filter.png

Safety and Ease-of-Access

Pipeline Filters’ patented double-locking system allows for safe, quick, and easy depressurization. This makes Pipeline Filters extremely easy to access compared to filters that use a traditional clamp. 

Open Area Image Filter.png

Filtration Performance

Pipeline Filters passed the NSF water clarity (turbidity reduction) test with just 1 turnover, similar to DE filters. Other cartridge filters typically take up to 5 turnovers to pass the same test. Engineered pleat spacing, 64% larger core
openings, and patented uniform tank design allow for more uniform flow from bottom to top, providing best-in-class filtration.

Hydraulic Performance

Pipeline Filters provide top-tier hydraulic performance, as shown in the chart to the right. These filters continue to outperform even after the first cleaning of the filter and cartridge element. Head loss in a Pipeline Filter only increases by 2% after cleaning according to instructions (up to 50% is allowed for NSF certification). Less head loss at the filter provides less stress on the pump, saving energy and money.

Like DE filters, Pipeline Filters passed the NSF turbidity test in one turnover.

The Pipeline Solution - Pipeline Pumps and Filters

Start replacing inefficient equipment pads Now with PIPELINE PUMPS® AND PIPELINE FILTERS®

THE PIPLELINE SOLUTION

How Pipeline Pumps and Filters SAVE ENERGY
Pipeline Pumps and Filters offer an impressive solution for crystal-clear pools while greatly reducing energy consumption. How does this work? Let's break it down:

CLEAR WATER  Delivers outstanding water quality

SAVE MONEY  Cuts energy costs for your clients

ECO-SMART  Eco-friendly, D.O.E. compliant pool system

  • Pipeline Filters deliver improved water quality using advanced filtration technology.

  • Pipeline Filters reduce pump back-pressure so the Pipeline Pump won’t need to work as hard while keeping your pool crystal clear.

  • By harnessing the efficiency of Pipeline Pumps and Filters, the original flow rate of a pool can be effectively maintained while achieving significant energy savings.

Advanced Filtration
The Pipeline Filter's innovative design achieves superior water clarity through a three-part process. Initially, the filter base channels incoming water along the housing's inner wall, dispersing dirt and protecting the filter media from direct high-speed water flow. Next, the water is deflected downward by the top dome, spreading dirt evenly across the small micron filter element. Finally, clean water readily passes through filter core openings, which are notably 64% larger than competitors, promoting swift and efficient filtration. This process results in ultra-clean, debris-free water output.

Enhanced Hydraulic Efficiency
The Pipeline Filter also significantly boosts flow efficiency. Its design effectively reduces pump back pressure by 7 psi, outperforming filters that are two to three times larger while maintaining the same flow rate. Its exceptional performance is certified by NSF50 test data. The ingenious minimization of back-pressure allows the Pipeline Pump to match the turnover rate of older equipment while operating at approximately half the speed. This reduction in speed translates into significant energy savings.

Maximized Energy Efficiency
Our Pipeline Pumps and Filters harness the powerful energy-saving potential of the affinity law, a fundamental principle of physics. This law demonstrates that running a pump at half speed consumes only 1/8th of the electricity. The affinity law is the very reason larger single-speed pool pumps were recently banned by the Department of Energy (DOE). While all variable-speed pumps have the potential to save energy, they must be connected to high-efficiency filters to take full advantage of the lower speeds while keeping the pool’s original flow rate.

Extended 3 year warranty
We believe in the seamless compatibility and exceptional performance of The Pipeline Solution, which is why we proudly provide an extended warranty of 3 years when the Pipeline Pump and Filter are installed together.  Upgrade your pool system today with Pipeline Pumps and Filters to experience incredible energy savings while maintaining crystal-clear water.

Unbeatable Energy Savings & Superior Water Quality

The Pipeline Advantage: Swift payback, energy savings, and satisfied clients!

Notice: The mentioned savings are specific to the Pipeline Pump and Pipeline Filter when compared to a single-speed pump connected to a less efficient existing filter. Please be aware that actual savings may vary and are subject to factors such as the horsepower of the pump, its RPM, the duration of operation, the size of the piping, and other relevant considerations.
