Product Identity

The Dayton 4VMP2 is a sand filter trap designed for pool and spa circulation systems. It stands 37.9 inches tall and provides a 3.3 square foot filter area. The unit includes a multiport selector valve and uses polyethylene construction. It is built to handle a maximum flow rate of 67.3 gallons per minute.

Suitability

This filter suits installations requiring a 1 1/2 inch intake and discharge connection with an eight-hour turnover capacity of 32,304 gallons. It supports pools up to 48,000 gallons at a flow of 16 gallons per minute per square foot. Builders needing a cartridge or diatomaceous earth filter type should look elsewhere.

Sustained Operation

Under continuous load the sand media maintains consistent filtration across the 3.3 square foot surface. The multiport valve manages backwash and rinse cycles without interrupting the pump. The polyethylene tank resists corrosion during extended chemical exposure. The 67.3 gallons per minute maximum flow remains stable over long duty cycles.

Questions about this item

What pump type is required for the Dayton 4VMP2 sand filter?

The filter is compatible with pool and spa pumps, so you must already own one of those pump types for it to operate.

Will the 1 1/2 in intake and discharge ports on the Dayton 4VMP2 connect to my existing plumbing?

Yes, the filter uses 1 1/2 inch compatible intake and discharge pipe sizes, matching many standard pool and spa plumbing installations.

How can I confirm the Dayton 4VMP2 is filtering correctly after installation?

Verify the multiport selector valve is set to filter, then check that the flow rate reaches up to 67.3 gpm and the pressure gauge reads within the normal operating range.
