The Davey EcoPure DEP2540 is a 25" fibreglass media filter for swimming pools, swim spas and plunge pools. Its top-mounted six-way valve connects to 40mm PVC pressure pipe through the included barrel unions.
Water passes through the media bed to remove suspended dirt before returning to the pool. The filter suits fresh, salt and mineral-salt pool water, using glass, sand or Zelbrite media.
Inlet from pump: 40mm socket for PVC pressure pipe.
Outlet to pool: 40mm socket for PVC pressure pipe.
Waste/backwash: 40mm socket for PVC pressure pipe.
The filter includes the fibreglass tank, internal laterals, six-way valve, pressure gauge, backwash sight glass and barrel unions.
Glass media for the DEP2540:
Fine/medium glass: 5 × 15kg bags (75kg)
Medium/coarse glass: 3 × 15kg bags (45kg)
These glass quantities total 120kg. Sand and Zelbrite use different loading quantities; follow the instructions for the chosen media.
Match the pump to both duties: filtration flow must stay within 260LPM, and the pump must deliver at least 173LPM through the backwash circuit to clean the media. Allow for resistance in the pipework and waste line.
The valve provides Filter, Backwash, Rinse, Waste, Recirculate and Closed positions. The pressure gauge helps identify when cleaning is needed, and the sight glass shows the water leaving during backwashing. Stop the pump before changing valve position.
The tank is made from UV-stabilised, filament-wound fibreglass. ABS barrel unions allow pipe connections to be disconnected for servicing, while the internal lateral underdrain collects filtered water and distributes backwash flow.
Install on a firm, level base and allow at least 400mm above the valve for removal and servicing. Check the dimension drawing when replacing an existing filter. Maximum water temperature is 40°C.
Follow the installation guide for media loading, initial backwash and rinsing. Relieve pressure before servicing and never run the pump with the valve closed.
Davey warranty: 10 years on the tank, three years on the multiport valve and one year on other components, subject to its terms.
