The 1.1kW Dayliff DX800 Pool Pump Filter is a high-capacity, professional-grade filtration system designed for large domestic, commercial, and institutional swimming pools where superior water clarity, high flow rates, and long-term durability are critical.

Part of the trusted Dayliff DX filtration range, the DX800 is engineered using advanced filtration technology refined through over twenty years of production experience. The system features a large moulded GRP (glass-reinforced plastic) filter body, offering excellent structural strength, corrosion resistance, and extended service life in chemically treated pool environments.

A flange-connected six-position multiport valve with union connections allows precise control of filtration, backwashing, rinsing, waste, and recirculation functions while ensuring a secure, leak-free seal. Internally designed collector laterals maximise filtration efficiency and backwashing effectiveness while minimising media loss.

With increased filtration area and flow capacity compared to smaller models, the DX800 is ideal for pools with high bather loads, longer operating hours, and demanding water quality requirements.
