The EC Sand Filter utilises the same high quality manufacturing process as AstralPool’s larger filters to achieve sparkling clear pool and spa water.
For conventional above ground and small to medium size in-ground pools, the EC Sand Filter is often the perfect choice for these applications.A high tooling and machinery investment combined with engineered shape and performance means the EC Sand Filter is perfect for all pools up to 60,000 litres while turning over the pool water twice in an 8 hour daily filtration cycle.
Simple and easy installation means lower installation and maintenance costs. High quality components such as oil filled pressure gauge, corrosion free valve connections and fast draining of water and filter media for maintenance mean the EC Sand Filter is not only economical to purchase but is economical and easy to maintain and service for the life of the product.

I recently had Thermo Pools Sydney install a new pump and a up/down solar controller, and I’m beyond impressed! The service was fantastic, and I must give special credit to Sunny, who worked so hard that I got tired just watching him. His dedication, attention to detail, and tireless effort made the whole experience smooth and stress-free.

Sunny contacted me enroute to site and arrived at the time discussed. The job was investigated and the repair work required was completed to my satisfaction in a quick and efficient manner. I recommend Thermo Pools for work on solar pool heating.

Despite challenging weather conditions during winter and autumn, Sunny demonstrated exceptional planning and adaptability, scheduling work around winds and rains to ensure the project was completed just in time for summer. Now, with the warmer weather, our family has been able to enjoy the pool almost every single day.Thank you for the great work and the end result has brought smiles all around.

There was something about Sunny that made me want to both like him and trust him from the moment he turned up just one day after my making the call. The pool is big and deep and difficult to heat and I had tired of pumping water up to the roof with no results. Sunny looked down on it and declared the webbing was insufficient and it had not been plumbed properly. He then looked at the pump and diagnosed the controller as being out of order as well. He gave me a figure and looked at the doubt on my face. “If it doesn’t heat your pool, I’ll give you your money back” He was that confident. I did a bit of research, one person telling me that the inlet/oulet of the pool were configured so that whatever I put on the roof, it wouldn’t heat the pool. When I raised this with Sunny, he repeated his guarantee, with further detail that the pool would reach 26C after 5 consecutive days of sunny weather after 1st October. On the strength of that I asked him to go ahead and he was there just 2 days later, and on a weekend, busily removing the old system and replacing it with his bespoke system. He returned with a new controller and his guarantee neatly typed out on company letter head. The controller indicated a steady rise in the temperature of the pool and in the short time between installation and the end of September the pool temperature had already risen from 19 to 22. With the arrival of October and just two warm days on the long weekend the water in the pool reached the promised 26. Dealing with contractors is always a bit of a gamble, but this one paid off! I am as confident Sunny would have refunded the money had the pool not reach the prescribed temperature as he was confident that it would. “You can tear the letter up now” he quipped when I gladly informed him his prediction had come to fruition. I would, but I might hang on to it as a cute reminder there’s good people out there!

I would like to thank Sunny for the a great installation experience. He explained what he was doing and asked for my preference - i.e. positioning of pipes, salt chlorinator cell, etc.He even fixed an issue he found under the roof tiles which could have become a major issue at a later point.His professionalism is excellent and I would recommend him to anyone.Again thanks for looking after our job.

Based on website reviews, we contacted Sunny for advice on how to repair our filter box and equipment. Sunny was very knowledgeable and was able to solve our problem with the minimum of fuss and at a reasonable price. He communicated well and completed the job promptly. All rubbish was removed and the work site was left very clean. We highly recommend Sunny and will definitely use him again.

What a great team, Sunny and Kirsty. Very professional and extremely knowledgeable. The installation was completed with minimal fuss in a narrow restricted access location. He then returned a couple of weeks later to install a deflector at which time I was able to thank Sunny for the way the way our new heat pump pool heater achieved to desired high temperatures required for my hydrotherapy.Thanks again guys, I can’t recommend you more highly and have referred you to friends who have seen the work and the excellent results.John

We had a fantastic experience with Sunny at Thermo Pools. During a very busy period (it became hot suddenly and our solar was busted), he came out to give us a quote within a day, provided a solution and installed it within a couple of weeks. He is so friendly and professional, and our pool temp improved very quickly. He and Kirsty provided great communication throughout the process. We won't hesitate to use Thermo Pools in the future.

I can’t recommend Sunny more, I called him yesterday for a solar heating quote and he turned up today, Sunny not only provided a quote with a good price but also fixed the current aged leaking solar heating at no cost. I will have him install my next solar pool heating.
