Energy Saving

A pool filtration system does not require to be operated at a pump’s maximum water flow rate as with the use of a conventional pool pump limited to one speed. In fact, your

pool’s filtration efficiency improves at lower flow rates.

As a pool’s filtration cycle occupies 99% of the run time of a pool pump, you can operate the Hydrostorm ECO-V on its low (ECO) speed setting for a majority of its running time, leading to a potential 82% savings in energy. Equipped with the very latest variable 3 speed permanent magnet brushless DC motor, Hydrostorm ECO-V is capable of lowering its motor speed, reducing water flow and lowering its energy consumption” Taken from Waterco Broachure

Even though you may need to operate the Hydrostorm ECO-V longer, it is far more efficient pumping low water flow compared to high water flow. A slow flow rate also has the added benefit of improving your pool’s filtration efficiency, enhancing the clarity of your swimming pool water. Plus your automatic chemical dosers and salt chlorinators are also more effective when the pool water is circulated longer. Benefits of Slow Flow SLASH ENERGY USE BY UP TO 82%. Perfectly match flow requirements and maximis”

Spa Maintenance – Spa Filter Cartridges

Leave a comment

Your spa filter cartridges are made from fine polyester paper like material,specifically designed to filter out body oils,dirt and debris etc.” Clean filters – Clean water” Your average life expectancy of these filter element are approximately 12-18 months,with is with proper care and correct water maintenance.

Cleaning intervals are dependent on usage load. Our recommendation is to clean once a week to remove any accumulation of any dirt and others from between each pleat. This can be done by removal of filter element from spa and using your garden hose to wash out any built up of oil and others dirt.

Once a month you should soak your filters in an approved Cartridge Cleaner Product over night. Rinse off and then replace them into your Spa . Some of our Clients will buy a second set so as to not have any downtime with their Spa Usage.

If you are not happy with your water quality
it could be due to your filter cartridge condition. Either due for replacement or due for a good clean. Remember ” Clean filters – Clean water”
