Astral XC 150 Cartridge Filter
Higher filtration capacity in a compact design. The XC 150 provides significantly more filter area than the smaller XC models while still maintaining a relatively compact footprint. This makes it ideal for medium to larger residential pools that require stronger filtration performance without oversized equipment.
No backwashing means lower water waste. Traditional media filters can waste thousands of litres of water during backwashing cycles. The XC 150 uses a cartridge filtration system that only requires cartridge cleaning, helping reduce water consumption and supporting more environmentally responsible pool ownership.
Patented Cyclonic Water Filtration technology. AstralPool’s cyclonic filtration system helps separate contaminants before they reach the cartridge element. This reduces overall pressure within the filtration system, improves filtration efficiency, and helps extend cartridge life.
Simple maintenance and fast servicing. The XC 150 is designed for easy access and straightforward cartridge cleaning. Its self-locking ring system helps prevent overtightening and accidental loosening while simplifying routine maintenance.
Environmentally responsible filtration. By reducing water waste and lowering maintenance requirements, the XC 150 supports efficient and sustainable residential pool operation while maintaining excellent water clarity.
Australian designed and manufactured. Built for Australian pool conditions, the XC range combines durable construction, efficient filtration performance, and practical servicing features for long-term reliability.
