Modern pool systems demand filtration that delivers high flow, rapid water clarity, and minimal footprint—all without constant maintenance. The AquaStar Pipeline Filter PLF27000 is a compact, high-performance cartridge filter system engineered to meet those demands, making it an ideal solution for residential pools where space, efficiency, and water quality matter.

Designed with AquaStar’s innovative 360° pipeline filtration technology, the PLF27000 provides powerful turbidity reduction and consistent flow while integrating seamlessly into modern pool plumbing layouts. It’s a forward-thinking alternative to bulky traditional filters, delivering professional-grade filtration in a streamlined design.


High-Flow Filtration with a Compact Footprint

Traditional cartridge and sand filters often require large equipment pads and complex plumbing layouts. The AquaStar Pipeline Filter PLF27000 redefines that approach with an in-line, compact design that installs directly into the return line.

Despite its small footprint, this filter delivers:

  • High flow capacity without excessive pressure loss

  • Efficient debris capture before contaminants recirculate

  • Improved overall water clarity

It’s an excellent choice for pools where equipment space is limited or where clean, efficient plumbing layouts are a priority.


360° Pipeline Filtration Technology

Unlike standard filters that rely on directional flow through a large tank, the PLF27000 uses 360-degree filtration, allowing water to be filtered evenly around the cartridge. This design improves contact time, enhances debris capture, and helps prevent channeling that can reduce filtration effectiveness.

The result is faster turbidity reduction and more consistent water clarity—especially beneficial after heavy use, storms, or startup conditions.


Designed for Modern Residential Pool Systems

The PLF27000 is engineered for residential pools with capacities up to approximately 72,000 gallons, making it suitable for a wide range of pool sizes and configurations.

It works seamlessly alongside:

  • Variable-speed pumps

  • Saltwater systems

  • Standard chlorine sanitation

  • Modern automation setups

Because it’s a cartridge-based system, there’s no backwashing required—saving water and simplifying maintenance.


Easy Maintenance and Cartridge Serviceability

Routine maintenance is straightforward. The internal cartridge can be removed and cleaned easily, reducing downtime and keeping filtration performance consistent. With proper cleaning intervals, the cartridge delivers long service life while maintaining efficient flow rates.

This low-maintenance design makes the PLF27000 attractive for homeowners who want clean water without frequent equipment intervention.


Ideal for New Builds and Equipment Upgrades

Pool builders and remodelers often choose the AquaStar Pipeline Filter PLF27000 for:

  • New construction projects

  • Equipment pad upgrades

  • Space-constrained installations

  • Modern hydraulic designs

Its sleek profile and plumbing-friendly configuration make it easy to integrate into contemporary pool systems without sacrificing performance.
