KESSER Sand Filter System 10 200 l/h review

The only filter system on this shelf that publishes a noise level with a distance — 60 to 65 dB(A) at one metre — alongside 10 200 l/h from a 400 W pump and 800 g of filter balls.

The bottom line Bought on two numbers nobody else gives together: a wattage beside the flow, and a noise level beside a distance. A filter runs for hours a day within earshot of wherever people sit, and this is the only listing in the family that treats that as a specification. The missing head figure is the real gap — 10 200 l/h at zero head tells you about the pump and not about the installation.

On the maker’s own page

A sand filter system delivering 10 200 l/h (10 m³/h) from a 400 W pump, with a 20-litre tank, stated for pools up to 60 000 litres. Seven valve settings are offered, with a pressure gauge for reading the water pressure. 800 g of filter balls are supplied, and special filter sand is stated as an alternative medium. Operating noise is given as 60–65 dB(A) at one metre.

The decibel figure, with its distance

Sixty to sixty-five decibels at a metre.

Noise is not usually a filter specification, and it should be: the system runs for hours a day, it stands outside, and it is within earshot of wherever people sit. This is the only listing in the family that publishes one, and the only one anywhere on this site that pairs the figure with a distance rather than leaving it floating.

Flow and watts together

10 200 l/h from 400 W.

Four systems in this family publish a flow and no power. Having both lets the ratio be read — which is the nearest thing this shelf offers to an efficiency comparison, since nobody publishes anything resembling a COP for a circulation pump.

What the listing spends its space on

Two of the five feature bullets explain how sand filtration works in general — groundwater, layers of sand and rock — rather than describing this product.

That is a choice about a listing, and it is why four rows on this page are empty: the maximum head, the tank diameter, the hose size and the valve positions by name are all absent, and three of the four are published by most of this family.

Availability

The German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores sat between 160 € and 168 € at the single check this page is built on.

The American Amazon store stocks it as well, in local currency, which the euro range above deliberately leaves aside.

The British Amazon store gave back nothing, so the buy button there lands on a search instead of a blank page.

These figures are what Keepa gave back the day this page was last written. Stock and prices shift without warning.

Declared figures, and the gaps between them

Strengths

  • A noise figure with a distance — 60 to 65 dB(A) at one metre — which nothing else in this family publishes
  • Both the flow and the pump power published, so what the flow costs to produce is readable
  • 800 g of filter balls supplied
  • A pressure gauge for reading the water pressure at any time

Compromises

  • No maximum head published, so only one end of the curve is given
  • No tank diameter and no hose size
  • Two thirds of the listing is general prose about how sand filtration works rather than about this product

The questions this one raises

Is 60–65 dB(A) loud?

It is a figure with a distance attached, which is what makes it usable — at one metre. Nothing else in this family publishes a noise level at all, so there is nothing here to compare it against. What can be said is that a filter running several hours a day beside a terrace is heard.

What does 400 W buy?

10 200 litres an hour, at zero head. Publishing both figures means the ratio between them can be read, which is the closest thing this shelf offers to an efficiency comparison — four systems here publish a flow and no wattage.

Balls or sand?

The maker supplies 800 g of balls and states special filter sand as an alternative. Balls are lighter and the charge is smaller; sand is cheaper by weight and heavier to carry. Neither is published with a fineness by anyone on this shelf.

Who this one is for

A system sited near a terrace, where the decibel figure is the deciding one
