Flotide FSP filter system – Where plug-and-play meets a complete solution

If you don't want to search for individual parts (filter + pump + valve + hoses = chaos). If you need simple installation (plug it in, done). If you have a small pool (above-ground pool, 15-20 m³) – and want to get started quickly.

You bought an above-ground pool (Intex, Bestway, Ø 4.5m, 15 m³). The pool is set up. It's filled with water. Now you need filtration. You google "pool filter" → Problem:

Problem #1: Parts chaos
You need to buy: a filter (which one? sand filter? cartridge filter?) + a pump (which one fits the filter?) + a valve (6-way? top-mount? side-mount?) + hoses (which size? 32mm? 38mm?) + an adapter (the filter connection doesn't fit the pump) + clamps . You're overwhelmed (too many decisions, too much technical knowledge required).

Problem #2: Compatibility issues
You buy a filter (from manufacturer A) + pump (from manufacturer B) → they don't fit together (connections have different sizes) → you need adapters → the adapter leaks → you curse .

Problem #3: Installation takes days
You will need to: set up the filter, mount the pump, connect the valve, route the hoses, tighten the clamps, check the seals, bleed the system, and find leaks. 3-5 hours of work (if you are handy). If not: 2 days of frustration.

Problem #4: Too big/too small
You buy filters (based on gut feeling) → the filter is either too large (the pump can't handle the flow rate, the filter works poorly) or too small (the filter clogs after 2 days, you're constantly backflushing). You've chosen the wrong size.

There is a solution. One that solves all four problems at once – in one box.

The Flotide FSP filter system – a pre-assembled complete system (filter + pump + valve + hoses on a mounting plate). Its special features: perfectly matched components (filter and pump fit together perfectly), pre-assembled (you only need to connect it – no assembly required), correctly sized (for pools up to 20 m³), ​​plug-and-play (connect the two hoses, plug it in, and it works).

What you will receive:

• Complete system in one box – filter + pump + valve + hoses + mounting plate
• Pre-assembled – no assembly of individual parts required (80% of the work is already done)
• Perfectly matched – filter + pump are perfectly sized (no compatibility issues)
• Installation in 30 minutes – connect 2 hoses (skimmer + inlet nozzle), plug in the power, done.
• PE filter tank 350mm – 20 kg sand capacity, for pools up to 20 m³
• Flotide SS020 pump – 4 m³/h flow rate, quiet, reliable
• 6-way top-mount valve – all operating modes (filtering, backwashing, etc.)
• Transparent pump housing – visual inspection (see pre-filter basket without opening)
• Compact design – 580 x 555mm (fits next to pool, no equipment room required)

The result: You unpack the box → place the unit next to the pool → connect two hoses (skimmer + inlet nozzle) → turn on the power → it works . Total: 30 minutes (instead of 3-5 hours assembling individual parts).

Saturday afternoon, 2:00 PM. The pool is full (15 m³ of water). Without a filter system: You frantically Google ("which filter?", "which pump?"), order 5 individual parts (from 3 manufacturers), wait a week for delivery, and spend Sunday assembling it (5 hours, 3 trips back to the hardware store because an adapter was missing). With Flotide FSP: The box arrives Friday → 30-minute installation on Saturday → filter running by 2:30 PM → you're swimming.

The 5 most important advantages at a glance:

• Plug-and-Play = Installation in 30 min : Complete system pre-assembled on a mounting plate, only connect 2 hoses (skimmer + inlet nozzle, 32/38mm), plug in power (230V socket), works immediately, no assembly of individual parts (80% work saved)
• Perfectly matched = no compatibility problems : Filter + pump perfectly dimensioned (4 m³/h flow rate, 20 kg sand), all connections fit (no adapters needed), hoses included (correct length, correct size), tested by the manufacturer (guaranteed to work)
• Properly sized for pools up to 20 m³ : Perfect for above-ground pools (Ø 4.5m, 15 m³), ​​small in-ground pools (6 x 3m, 18 m³), ​​not too big (pump can handle the flow rate), not too small (filter won't clog after 2 days), 2x circulation per day (8h runtime = pool completely filtered twice)
• Compact design 580 x 555mm = fits anywhere : Place next to the pool (no technical room installation required), on the terrace (compact, not bulky), in the garage/basement (if the pool is close), portable (16.3 kg total weight – can be carried by 1 person)
• Beginner-friendly = no technical knowledge required : 6-way valve with labels (filter, backwash, rinse, etc.), pressure gauge shows when backwashing is necessary, instructions included (step-by-step), perfect for pool beginners

For whom is this filter system ideally suited?

Reality check : The Flotide FSP is for above-ground pool owners and pool beginners who want a simple complete solution and quick installation – without technical knowledge or the chaos of individual parts.

✓ Above-ground pool owners (Intex, Bestway, Ø 4.5m, 15 m³)
Your pool is an above-ground pool (not in-ground). You need a portable filter system (which you can dismantle and store in winter). Flotide FSP: Compact (580 x 555 mm), lightweight (16.3 kg), portable → place next to the pool (summer) → store in the garage (winter). Perfect for above-ground pools.

✓ Pool beginners (who have never installed filters before)
They have no idea about pool technology (what's a 6-way valve? What's backwashing? Which pump do I need?). Flotide FSP: Plug-and-play (connect two hoses, plug it in, and it works) → no technical knowledge required → the instructions explain everything step-by-step. Perfect for beginners.

✓ People who want a "simple solution" (no chaos of individual parts)
They hate research (which filter? which pump? which valve? Do they fit together?). They want to: Buy one box → Done . Flotide FSP: Complete system (filter + pump + valve + hoses) → everything perfectly matched → you don't have to research anything. One decision instead of five.

✓ People with small pools (15-20 m³) – perfect sizing
Your pool is small (above-ground pool Ø 4.5m = 15 m³, or smaller in-ground pool 6 x 3m = 18 m³). Flotide FSP: Perfectly sized (4 m³/h flow rate, 20 kg sand) → not oversized (no wasted electricity), not undersized (filter won't clog too quickly). Perfect for 15-20 m³ pools.

✓ People with a limited budget (complete solution cheaper than individual parts)
They don't want to spend a lot of money. Buying individual parts: filter (€300) + pump (€200) + valve (€100) + hoses (€50) + adapters (€30) = €680 total . Flotide FSP: €400-500 (all in one) = saves €180-280 . Plus: No mistakes (adapters, wrong sizes).

✓ People without a technical room (filter is next to the pool)
Your pool has no equipment room (no garage, no basement next to the pool). The filter must be located next to the pool (on the lawn, on the patio). Flotide FSP: Compact (580mm wide) → fits next to the pool → not bulky → doesn't interfere with swimming. Perfect for pools without an equipment room.

✓ People who use the pool seasonally (pool only in summer, dismantle in winter)
Your pool is only set up from May to September (it's dismantled and stored for the winter). Flotide FSP: Lightweight (16.3 kg), compact → easy to dismantle in winter → store in the garage → reassemble next year (in 30 minutes). Perfect for seasonal use.

Product description: Where Complete meets Simple

The concept: Pre-assembled system = 80% of the work is already done

Standard approach (buying individual parts): You buy filter + pump + valve + hoses separately → you have to assemble them yourself (set up filter, mount pump, connect valve, lay hoses) → 3-5 hours of work .

Flotide FSP approach (complete system): Filter + pump + valve are already mounted (on mounting plate, factory-installed) → You only need to connect 2 hoses (skimmer + inlet nozzle) → 30 min work .

Difference: 80% of the work is already done (by the manufacturer) → You save 2.5-4.5 hours .

PE filter tank 350mm – Compact, robust, low maintenance

Material: Polyethylene (PE) – blow-molded (like a canister, seamless).

Characteristics:

• Chemical resistant (chlorine, pH minus – does not attack material)
• UV-resistant (sun does not damage material – can be left outside)
• Smooth interior walls (dirt adheres less – easier to clean)
• Lightweight (PE is lighter than GRP – filter weighs only 16.3 kg total)

Technical data:

• Diameter: 350mm (small, compact)
• Amount of sand: 20 kg (quartz sand 0.5-0.8 mm or glass filter medium)
• Max. flow rate: 4 m³/h
• Recommended pool volume: up to 20 m³
• Working pressure: max. 2 bar

Comparison to larger filters:

Flotide FSP (350mm, 20 kg sand): For pools up to 20 m³. Compact. Lightweight. Affordable.

Flotide SMG650 (666mm, 150 kg sand): For pools up to 80 m³. Large. Heavy. Expensive. Not necessary for small above-ground pools (oversized).

FSP is perfect for above-ground pools (not too big, not too small).

Flotide SS020 pump – Quiet, reliable, 4 m³/h

Pump: Flotide SS020 – centrifugal pump with pre-filter.

Technical data:

• Max. flow rate: 4 m³/h (at 0 bar back pressure)
• Power consumption: approx. 250-300W (estimated – typical for this flow rate class)
• Voltage: 230V / 50 Hz
• Connection: 50mm / 1½" (solvent coupling or hose 32/38mm)

Characteristics:

• Transparent pump housing (you can see the pre-filter basket – inspection without opening)
• Quiet (centrifugal pumps are quieter than positive displacement pumps)
• Reliable (Flotide quality – not a cheap pump)
• Low maintenance (clean pre-filter basket every 3-7 days – 2 minutes of work)

Pre-filter basket: Catches large particles (leaves, insects, hair) before they enter the filter → protects the filter → the filter clogs more slowly.

Practical: You can see the pre-filter basket (through the transparent housing) → know exactly when cleaning is necessary (don't guess – see).

6-way top-mount valve – All operating modes

Standard in Flotide FSP: 6-way valve (top-mount, mounted on the lid).

6 operating modes: (see other filter descriptions – identical)

1. Filter (Filtering) – Normal operation
2. Backwash – cleaning the filter bed
3. Rinse – Rinse away any remaining dirt.
4. Waste (Empty) – Water directly to sewage (Empty pool)
5. Recirculate – recirculate water without filtering (distributing chemicals)
6. Closed – All valves closed (for maintenance)

Important: Only switch the valve when the pump is switched off (otherwise the valve will be damaged).

Pressure gauge: Shows pressure (bar). Normal: 0.5-0.8 bar. Backwashing required: >1.5 bar (filter bed is clogged).

Pre-assembled on mounting plate – Plug-and-Play

The special feature: Filter + pump + valve are factory-mounted on a mounting plate (plastic base).

Advantage:

• No assembly of individual parts required (filter is already on the plate, pump is already connected)
• All connections are tight (factory tested – no leaks)
• Portable (You can move the entire system – everything remains connected)

Installation:

1. Remove the unit from the box → place it on a level surface (next to the pool)
2. Connect 2 hoses:
   • Hose 1: From skimmer (or bottom drain) to pump (suction side)
   • Hose 2: From filter outlet to inlet nozzle (back to pool)
3. Tighten hose clamps (using a screwdriver)
4. Fill with sand (20 kg quartz sand 0.5-0.8mm, through lid opening)
5. Connect to a power source (230V socket)
6. Turn on the pump → vent the filter (open the vent valve until water comes out)
7. Running

Time: 30 minutes (if you have average manual skills).

Compact design – Fits anywhere

Dimensions:

• Height: 555mm
• Width: 580mm
• Depth: approx. 400mm (estimated)
• Weight: 16.3 kg (empty, without sand)

Footprint: 580 x 400mm = 0.23 m² (smaller than a beer crate).

Advantage:

• Fits next to the pool (on the lawn, on the terrace – not bulky)
• No technical room installation required (filter is located outdoors)
• Portable (16.3 kg – can be carried by 1 person, e.g. for winter storage)

Comparison:

Flotide FSP: 580 x 555mm, 16.3 kg (compact, lightweight)

Flotide SMG650: 666 x 943mm, 24.5 kg + pump sold separately → larger, heavier → requires more space → not suitable for placement next to the pool (too bulky).

FSP is perfect for compact installation (next to a pool).

Transparent pump housing – visual inspection

Standard pumps: Pump housing is opaque (white, grey) → You cannot see if the pre-filter basket is full → you have to guess when cleaning is necessary.

Flotide SS020: Pump housing is transparent → You can see the pre-filter basket (through the housing, without opening it) → know exactly when cleaning is necessary (basket is half full = time to clean).

Advantage: You save time (no unnecessary opening/checking) + optimize maintenance interval (not too early, not too late).

Frequently Asked Questions – Honest Answers

Q: Is FSP sufficient for my pool (Ø 4.5m, 15 m³)?
A: Yes (perfect). The FSP achieves 4 m³/h → with an 8-hour runtime, this equates to 32 m³ filtered per day → your pool will be completely circulated twice a day (optimal). Neither oversized nor undersized.

Q: Can I also use FSP for a larger pool (25 m³)?
A: Not recommended . The FSP achieves 4 m³/h → for a 25 m³ pool, this equates to only 1.3 circulations per day (with 8 hours of operation) → insufficient → the water will not be properly cleaned. For a 25 m³ pool: Flotide SMG650 (16.5 m³/h) recommended.

Q: Is installation really that easy (30 min)?
A: Yes (if you have average DIY skills). Steps: Set up the unit → connect the two hoses → fill with sand → turn on the power → bleed the air → it works. If you're all thumbs: 1 hour. Still faster than assembling individual parts (3-5 hours).

Q: Which hoses do I need (from pool to filter)?
A: 32mm or 38mm hoses (depending on your pool – Intex/Bestway usually have 32/38mm connections). Length: Depending on the distance between the pool and the filter (usually 2-5 meters per hose). Hose clamps (4 pieces – 2 per hose) for tightening.

Q: How often do I need to clean the pre-filter basket?
A: Every 3-7 days (depending on pool usage and nearby trees). Cleaning: Pump off → unscrew pump cover → remove basket → scrape out dirt → replace basket → pump on → 2 minutes of work .

Q: How often do I need to backwash the filter?
A: Every 1-2 weeks (under normal operation). Indicator: Pressure gauge shows >1.5 bar (instead of the normal 0.5-0.8 bar) → filter bed is clogged → backwashing is necessary. Backwashing: Valve to "Backwash" → pump on → run for 1-2 minutes → valve to "Rinse" → 30 seconds → valve to "Filter" → done.

Q: Can I leave FSP outside in winter?
A: Not recommended . PE material is frost-resistant, but: water in the pump/filter can freeze → cracks. Recommendation: In winter, completely empty (drain the water, vent) and store (garage, basement) or cover it in a frost-free location .

Q: Does it work with a saltwater pool?
A: Yes (PE is saltwater resistant). Same lifespan as freshwater pools.
