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.
