Zodiac – MS sand filter 950 mm – 70867-0100V

The Zodiac MS sand filter is a high-performance mechanical filtration unit designed for swimming pools, plunge pools, and spa installations. Built around a robust laminated composite tank with a 950 mm vessel diameter, the MS series is engineered to deliver reliable and consistent water clarity through proven sand filtration technology. The filter removes suspended particles, fine debris, and contaminants from pool water as it passes through a sand media bed, returning clean, clear water to the pool. The Zodiac MS is manufactured to meet the demands of both residential and light commercial filtration, offering a flow capacity of up to 33 m³/h to match a wide range of pool sizes and circulation systems.

Technical characteristics and construction

The Zodiac MS 950 filter tank is manufactured from laminated materials, which provide excellent resistance to chemical exposure, UV degradation, and the mechanical stresses of continuous pressurised operation. The 950 mm tank diameter indicates a substantial filter volume, allowing for a large bed of filter sand that maximises contact time between water and media — a key factor in achieving fine particle removal and long filter cycles between backwash intervals. With a rated flow rate of 33 m³/h, the MS 950 is compatible with suitably matched circulation pumps and plumbing configurations commonly found in medium to large residential pool systems. The filter operates via a multiport valve (not included as standard unless specified), which enables the standard filtration modes: filter, backwash, rinse, recirculation, waste, and closed positions. The domed tank profile supports even distribution of flow across the sand bed and withstands operating pressures typical of pool filtration circuits.

Suitability and application

The Zodiac MS 950 sand filter is intended for medium to large swimming pools where a high flow rate and robust filtration performance are required. Its 33 m³/h throughput makes it well suited to pools of approximately 50 m³ and above, depending on the turnover rate requirements and local guidelines. It is equally appropriate for use in spa installations and plunge pools where reliable mechanical filtration is a priority. The filter integrates naturally into Zodiac filtration system configurations and is designed to work alongside Zodiac’s FloPro and other compatible pump ranges. It is suitable for inground and above-ground pool applications where sufficient space and plumbing access exist to install a vessel of this size. Operators benefit from straightforward maintenance thanks to the sand media’s long service life and the backwash function that restores filtration efficiency without the need to replace media frequently.
