The All-in-One Filtration Solution for a Sparkling Clean Pool

Simplify your pool setup and maintenance with the Raypak Protege SF 16" Complete Filter System. This expertly matched package includes both a high-flow sand filter and a powerful, compatible pump, designed to work together seamlessly for optimal water clarity and circulation. Engineered for durability and ease of use, this system provides everything you need for professional-grade filtration, making it the perfect centerpiece for your above-ground pool's health and cleanliness.


Key Features & Benefits:

  • Complete, Matched System: No guesswork required. The 16" sand filter and pump are pre-selected for perfect hydraulic compatibility, ensuring maximum efficiency and performance right out of the box.

  • Superior Sand Filtration: The 16-inch filter tank, filled with pool sand, captures dirt and debris as small as 20-40 microns, delivering crystal-clear water and reducing chemical demand.

  • Powerful & Reliable Protege Pump: The included self-priming pump provides strong, consistent water flow. Its corrosion-resistant construction and clear strainer basket ensure long life and easy maintenance.

  • Effortless 6-Position Valve: The top-mounted push-pull valve makes pool care simple with all essential functions: Filter, Backwash, Rinse, Waste, Recirculate, and Closed.

  • Compact & Space-Saving: The 16-inch tank size is ideal for standard residential above-ground pools, offering powerful filtration without occupying excessive space in your pool area.
