To Convert a Sand Filter to OC-1 Media the laterals must be modified. To Convert a Side Mount Filter to OC-1 a new Diffuser is also required.

 

OC-1 Filtration Media

Unlike traditional methods that use entrapment, OC-1 works through settlement and harnesses advances in pump technology and variable speed pumps/controllers. The new British manufactured filtration media has some exceptional benefits - by replacing commonly used media (such as sand and glass) with OC-1 it is possible to reduce the head loss in the filtration system & filter with a constant flow regardless of debris entrapment. This will significantly reduce running energy costs whilst still filtering to the equivalent standard as it can be used with a smaller pump or a variable speed pump or controller.

  • Out performs traditional filter media
  • Increased debris retention
  • Decreased head loss
  • Potential energy savings
  • Lightweight
  • Suitable for all applications

High Quality Filtration

OC-1 has been proven to efficiently reduce the turbidity of pool water & retain particulate without increasing the pressure within the filter or reducing the flow.The debris capacity is of OC-1 is 20 times that of sand or glass. OC-1 removes 81% of 10 micron particles in a single pass & ca even remove particles as small as 1 micron without flocculation or coagulation.

 

Lightweight

Unlike sand, gravel or glass, OC-1 is lightweight, easy to handle & transport. This is a huge advantage in terms of manual handling requirements and ease of installation. OC-1 is supplied in 50 litre bags that each weigh approx 9kg & have the equivalent volume of three 25kg bags of sand.

 

Running Costs

OC-1 can reduce energy usage & 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 the pump speeds can be reduced by around 20% without compromising the original flow, producing impressive energy savings. Due to its constant flow rate & huge debris capacity, OC-1 can reduce backwashing frequency & water consumption.

On new installations a smaller pump can be specified to produce the same flow, saving running & initial outlay costs.
