PRAGA VS BERLIN
✅ Summary
Praga = High-capacity, large-scale filtration, ideal for very large or high-flow pools.
Berlin = More compact commercial filters, good for medium-to-large installations with lower media and space requirements.
The Praga and Berlin filter ranges are both commercial-grade media filters, often used in large-scale residential or commercial pool setups. They are typically produced by AstralPool (or distributed under that brand in Australia and globally), but they cater to slightly different needs based on build, application, and media use.
Here’s a breakdown of the key differences between Praga and Berlin filters:
🔧 1. Construction Material & Design
| Feature | Praga Filters | Berlin Filters |
|---|---|---|
| Construction | Typically made from fiberglass-reinforced polyester with a UV-resistant coating | Made from gel-coated polyester and fiberglass for strength and chemical resistance |
| Lid Type | Usually domed with a bolt-on lid or flange | Often features a quick-access manhole or bolted top lid |
| Shape | Tall and narrow body profile | Shorter and broader in shape (more squat) |
🌊 2. Applications
| Feature | Praga Filters | Berlin Filters |
|---|---|---|
| Typical Use | Large pools, resorts, aquatic centres | Commercial pools and water parks |
| Filtration Area | Larger models (e.g. up to 3.04 m² in Praga 2000) | Medium to large models (up to ~1.24 m²) |
| Flow Rate | Supports very high flow rates (e.g. 820–920 LPM) | Slightly lower (e.g. 360–450 LPM) |
🧱 Size & Capacity
| Feature | Praga Filters | Berlin Filters |
|---|---|---|
| Tank Diameter | Ranges from 1200 mm to 2000 mm | Ranges from 900 mm to 1200 mm |
| Pool Coverage | Up to 350,000 L | Typically up to 110,000 L |
| Sand/Glass Media | Higher media volume (e.g. 2750 kg sand) | Lower volume (e.g. 1250 kg sand) |
⚙️ Other Notable Differences
| Feature | Praga Filters | Berlin Filters |
|---|---|---|
| Working Pressure | 2.5 to 4 Bar | 2.5 Bar typical |
| Backwashing Efficiency | Efficient due to tall bed depth | Also effective, but more suited to specific Berlin bed designs |
| Media Used | Supports both glass and sand | Often used with sand or finer me |
