Sta Rite Cristal-Flo II Sand Filter
Press, twist, and relax
You won't burn many calories maintaining Cristal-Flo™ Top-Mount Filters. A little two-way wrist action on the control valve puts the Cristal-Flo to work cleaning itself. And, this is one workout routine you won't have to do very often. Through innovative engineering, the filter's dirt-handling capacity is maximized, which extends the time between cleanings (backwashing).

When should I change the sand in my filter?

You should change the sand in your filter every 5-7 years. You can generally tell that it is time if your pool water is not as clear as it normally is or when you notice the interval between backwashes is shorter. You can use > this guide to walk you through it.

I need to replace my filter, Sta-rite T-170BP-1 (probably about 18 years old) but it appears that filter is no longer available.
What is the Sta-rite model that is closest to the T-170BP-1.
Thank you. Tim Davy
