Astral XC 200 Benefits
High filtration capacity without oversized equipment. The XC 200 offers a large filter area while maintaining the compact XC-series design. This makes it well suited to larger residential pools where stronger filtration performance is needed without taking up excessive equipment space.
Reduces water waste during maintenance. Unlike traditional media filters, the XC 200 does not require backwashing. Cartridge cleaning uses only a small amount of water, helping reduce overall pool water consumption throughout the year.
Improved filtration efficiency with cyclonic technology. AstralPool’s patented Cyclonic Water Filtration system helps separate debris before it reaches the cartridge element. This improves overall filtration efficiency while reducing pressure across the system.
Simple servicing and easier ownership. The XC 200 is designed for straightforward cartridge cleaning and fast maintenance access. Its self-locking ring system helps make servicing safer and more convenient.
Built for modern residential pool systems. Designed and manufactured in Australia, the XC 200 combines durable construction, efficient water filtration, and environmentally responsible operation for long-term residential use.
