Filtration of Extremely Small Particles
Jet-wash Regenerative Media Filter is a more efficient alternative to sand or D.E. filtration. It’s capable of filtering out materials as small as the 1 to 5 micron size range, while traditional sand filters can only remove particles in the 15 to 20 micron range.
Jet-wash Regenerative Media Filter is the only category of swimming pool filter that may capture viruses since viruses are too small to be effectively captured by more traditional sand filtration,it can removal of parasites such as cryptosporidium(crypto),most of these harmful creatures will be captured and removed from the pool water. Traditional sand filters will rarely capture these tiny microorganisms (crypto is on the order of 3 to 5 microns in size).
High Level of Water Conservation
The only water loss associated with the regenerative media filter is the volume of the filter tank itself. When it is time to replace the perlite material in the tank, after several regenerative cycles, the volume of an entire tank is wasted to removal of all dirty perlite. This water loss is magnitudes less than with a traditional sand filter that requires a backwash rate generally equal to the filter flow rate for a period of 3 to 5 minutes. With a sand filter this must occur every time the filter needs to be backwashed.
