is it suitable for a 8500 gallons pool ? thank you in advance

No, it is not big enough for a swimming pool, it is only 8 GPM a pool would need at least 55 GPM. This company does have ultraviolet systems for pools.

This system can handle up to 20GPM so if the pump recirculates the pool water at less than 20GPM then the S8Q-PA can be used as supplemental disinfection method.

It can be used for anything I suppose. As long as you do not run more than 8 gallons per minute through the unit. These are designed for whole house application and using it for a recirculating application like a pool would not eliminate the bacteria as if there is bacteria present in the pool, all water has to be treated at once, it would infect the clean water as fast as the UV put it back into the pool.

The rated flow of the S8Q-PA is 20 GPM (US Public Health dosage). It depends on your pump/ flow rate for cycling water through yout filter. Check on the pool filter pump flow rate to make sure that the UV is not undersized for the pump flow rate. The S8Q-PA at 20 GPM will take a little over 7 hours to cycle the 8500 gallons.

I suspect this would be effective even if you are rushing 8500 gallons through this device at one sitting (the longer the water is in the chamber the more assured that the bacteria is being eliminated)... I vaguely remember reading that the UV needed roughly 10 seconds to kill the spores (and therefore determining the size of the inner chamber). You should be fine but why not use salt or chlorine in the pool?

The info. says for home use only @5 gal per min. my pools run arount 15/20 gal per min. My opinon is no!!

Hello,Yes, you can use this unit for your size pool no problem. You can also adjust the chlorine flow rate with the basket as well. Thank you

I have roughly a 18000 gallon pool and it handles it just fine. The important thing is to make sure you are using a matched pump. I have a 1-1/2hp pump.

The maximum pool size is 35,000 gallons my pool is 17,500 gallons and I ran the unit for 10 hours a day at 100% and never had any issues except for low salt alarm which the salt has to be at 4000 ppm. It was well worth the money you do still have to add shock from time to time but a 24 pound box lasted me from March to September. My electric bill didn't change but I hooked the unit up so when the pump came on the flow sensor would start the apure35. It should run with a low flow pump it doesn't take much pressure to activate the switch.

Yes! This heater is large enough for even a larger pool than that. 400000 btu's simply means it heats faster! Watch out during the winter months gas bill will increase largely if your pool and pool lines are not insulated. Do your research!

this pump will work fine for a pool that size. That is about the size of our pool and we love this pump and sand filtration system. You can also use it to vacuum to waste which is a big plus!

It is designed to handle up to 10,000 gallons, so you could try 1/2 of the stuff it is set for 5,000 gallons, and then if it didn't work, you could use the other half, that is what I would do. My pool is 10,000 so i use the entire pack.:)

I don't think I would use this for such a large pool. It really is meant for bulk pick-up of leaves from the bottom of a pool. I use it on a 10,000 gallon pool and if there are a lot of leaves, the going can be pretty slow. The bag does require fairly frequent emptying. I am happy with the way it works on my pool, but I don't think you would be happy with your pool.

This can be used on your pool. I have this on my above ground 17000 gallon pool and it handles that with no problem. the amount of gallons is your main concern. I have had 3 different chlorinators and this one by far is the best. Easy installation with 2 quick disconnects makes it ideal as long as you have access to your plumbing. It also has a nice large dial for amount of chlorine release. I keep mine on 3 for my pool. Hope this helps.

As the others have said, yet it will work with a 5,000 gallon pool. Just remember, this is rated to pump 1,200 gallons per hour, so you will need to run it about 4.5 hours to cycle the pool once.
1423339
yes it is. mine was the same size as yours and it worked great. Just make sure you keep up with your pool's cleaning schedule. My pool was almost under a tree, tree is gone and it was plenty of cleaning. The pump circulated everything very well and it was crystal clear water all summer long.

I think it would be enough. My pool is 24' and it will completely filter all in 4-5 hours. Really think Haward pool stuff lasts forever!

Hi, That is a large pool, I would recommend a Hayward Tri-Star 2HP pump or Hayward Eco-Star, Thanks,

1,500 or 15,000 gallons?? We have the 2200 GPH system on our 14,800 gallon pool and it works wonderfully. We are very impressed on how clear the water is and how well the system works. For 1,500 gallons I think it might be a little over kill, so the smaller system would suit your need very well.

It depends on how many gallons of water your pool holds, and also the size of pump. It should easily handle a 12,000 gallon pool equipped with a proper pump. You can make exact calculations by determining the volume of your pool in gallons, then checking the gallon per hour rate of this pump on the manufacturers website.

Your pool holds around 13500 gallons and the rating for that pump is up to 25000 gallons. By rating it should do a great job. It works well on my 18' pool.

Yeah man as long as your pool dies not have more than 15000 gal you should be good.
