Astral XC 100 Benefits
Compact design with increased filtration capacity. The XC 100 maintains the compact footprint of the XC range while offering increased filter area compared to the XC 50 and XC 75. This makes it well suited to medium-sized residential pools needing stronger filtration performance without requiring a large equipment footprint.
No backwashing means major water savings. Traditional media filters can waste thousands of litres of water during backwashing. The XC 100 uses a cartridge-based system that requires only minimal water for cartridge cleaning, making it ideal for environmentally conscious pool owners and water-restricted areas.
Patented Cyclonic Water Filtration technology. The XC range uses AstralPool’s patented cyclonic filtration system to separate contaminants more efficiently before they reach the cartridge element. This helps reduce system pressure, improve filtration performance, and extend cartridge life.
Simple maintenance and fast servicing. The XC 100 is designed for easy cartridge access and straightforward maintenance. Its self-locking ring system helps prevent overtightening while making servicing quicker and safer.
Environmentally friendly pool filtration. By reducing water waste and minimising maintenance requirements, the XC 100 provides a more sustainable filtration solution for residential pool systems.
Australian designed and manufactured. Built for Australian conditions, the XC range combines durable construction, efficient filtration performance, and practical servicing features for long-term residential use.
