OC-1

OC refers to open cell (open cell) and OC-1 is a mechanical filter which uses the open-cell filtration technology to filter water with a high quality, increasing the potential for saving water and energy . The filter medium is a composite of extruded plastic which is composed of a high density polyethylene full load base to contribute a higher specific gravity to water.

• Water Savings: exclusive method of filtration which reduces the water consumption by more than 40%.

• Energy Saver: allows you to use a smaller pump or lower power to achieve the same flow rate than it would have with traditional filtration media.

• Time savings: OC-1 reduces the cleaning frequency less than 1/3 of traditional media, so it will have more leisure time to another.

• The OC-1 is half as the current European standard EN16713-1

C-1 is not a traditional filter that consists in fixing the dirt between the particles; OC-1 works by reducing the speed of dust passing through the bed to become empty in a calm. This difference in the way it works means you have a different behavior from that to which you may be familiar with the old filters.

Water Saving

The pressure does not increase with the OC-1, regardless of the amount of residues on the filter. Therefore, the washing must be done periodically. For a domestic pool with normal use, this means approx. once a month instead of every week, saving water and time.

Saving energy

OC-1 has less resistance than traditional filter media, and should therefore be possible to use a smaller pump or reduce the speed at a speed pump variable and maintain the same flow of a traditional medium (this will depend existing restrictions on pipes). Thus, you can save electricity and money. For example, if you can reduce the pump speed by 20%, you can obtain an energy saving of 48.8% (by pump affinity law).
