Certikin new Long Life filter media OC-1 now available

Embracing the recent advances in pump technology and maximising the benefits of variable speed pumps, the ingenious OC-1 Filtration Media works through settlement, as opposed to the traditional method of entrapment. The new filtration media has some exceptional benefits – by replacing commonly used media (such as sand and glass) with OC-1 Filtration Media it is possible to reduce the head loss in the filtration system; filter with a constant flow (regardless of debris entrapment) and, most remarkably, significantly reduce running energy costs whilst still filtering to the equivalent standard. as it can be used with a smaller pump or variable speed pump or controller.

Benefits include

Reduces energy consumption –

OC-1 maintains constant flow rates, even when the media becomes dirty. No downtime is required for heating/salt chlorinators/heat pumps going out on low flow. The constant flow means pumps can be run at lower speeds, thus saving energy.

Reduced requirement for backwashing and a more efficient backwash

Reduces water consumption, chemical usage and heating. There is no need to backwash on start up with new installations. Huge capacity for debris collection – OC-1 offers over 20 times the capacity of sand or glass. Lightweight – Can even be shipped inside a filter, easy to handle and super quick and easy to install.

Less Maintenance – lasts longer than sand, reduces pressure in the system, extending the life of equipment. Filtration quality is equal to sand. Suitable for ALL installations – domestic or commercial, outdoor or indoor, new installations or existing filters.

Recyclable Payback typically 6-12 months.
