OC-3 Floating media for use with top mount filter
Unlike traditional methods that use entrapment, OC-1 works through settlement which means that the debris settles within the cells of OC-1 throughout the entire bed rather than being trapped on the top of the media bed. This new British manufactured filtration media has some exceptional benefitsby replacing commonly used media (such as sand and glass) with OC-1 it is possible to reduce the head loss in the filtration system and filter with a constant flow regardless of debris retention.
Features:
Out-performs traditional filter media
Increased debris retention
Decreased head loss
Potential energy savings
Lightweight
Suitable for all applications
Independently tested by IFTS
High quality filtration
OC-1 has been proven to efficiently reduce the turbidity of pool water and retain particulate without increasing the pressure within the filter or reducing the flow. The debris capacity of OC-1 is more than 20 times that of sand or glass. OC-1 removes 81% of 10 micron particles in a single pass and can even remove particles as small as 1 micron without flocculation or coagulation.
Unlike sand, gravel and glass, OC-1 is lightweight so easy to handle and transport. This is a huge advantage in terms of manual handling requirements, ease of installation and logistics. OC-1 is supplied in 50 litre bags that each weigh approximately 9kg and have the equivalent volume of three 25kg bags of sand.
Reduces pool running costs
OC-1 can reduce energy usage and water consumption. Its open cell formation makes it possible to achieve a greater flow of water through the filter. In many cases this means that pump speeds can be reduced by around 20%, without compromising the original flow, producing impressive energy savings. Alternatively, on new installations a smaller pump can be specified to produce the same flowsaving running costs and initial outlay. Due to its constant flow rate and huge debris capacity, OC-1 can reduce backwashing frequency and water consumption.
