New World First all-in-one Pool Pre-filter & Filter Unveiled

MultiCyclone Plus the answer to water and energy conservation

 

As Australian pool owners become increasingly impacted by rising electricity and water bills, Swimart has the answer for water and energy conservation with the launch of Waterco’s next generation filtration solution for the pool - the MultiCyclone Plus.

Waterco first introduced the MultiCyclone technology in 2007 and it has since won a number of awards and industry accolades. The MultiCyclone Plus takes the patented technology a huge leap forward.

In simple terms, the MultiCyclone Plus is a compact, all-in-one pre-filtration and filtration unit. It combines all of the revolutionary features of its predecessor with a built-in cartridge filter – and the streamlined design means the entire pool filtration system can be installed vertically, atop a standard pool pump.

The MultiCyclone Plus uses the most advanced hydro cyclone technology to reduce the footprint of the filtration system. The reduced workload of the filter cartridge greatly improves pool circulation and allows vacuuming of the pool without overburdening the filter cartridge. It means the MultiCyclone Plus is a safe and cost effective easy way to save between 7,000 and 10,000 litres of pool water per year compared with sand filtration systems.

“We have created an ultra-compact, complete pool filtration system which occupies virtually half the footprint of a 24-inch sand filter,” says Bryan Goh, Waterco.  “By placing the MultiCyclone on the top of the filter, it takes up the footprint of the pump, which means it’s more hydraulically efficient.

“This greatly enhanced efficiency means that a small ¾ horsepower or 0.61kW pump is capable of circulating water through it. Plus it only requires simple, minimal plumbing. Regardless of whether you have a plunge pool or a 70,000 litre pool, the MultiCyclone Plus has the power and capability to filter it. In short, the pool water ends up cleaner with less upkeep.”

How MultiCyclone technology works

The MultiCyclone Plus increases the capacity of the 40 square foot filter cartridge by five times, equivalent to a 200 square foot filter cartridge. Its centrifugal section filter pre-filters up to 80 per cent of the dirt which would normally go into the filter, and drains it out. The frequency of filter maintenance is thus significantly reduced, and it only takes 15 litres of water to flush the unit, thus saving pool owners time and money.

Key benefits of the new MultiCyclone Plus include:

Improved pool performance

  • The reduced workload of the filter cartridge greatly improves pool circulation and allows vacuuming of the pool without over burdening the filter cartridge

Water conservation

  • Only 15 litres of water is required to flush its sediment chamber
  • Saves between  7,000 and 10,000 litres of water per year compared to sand filtration systems
  • Saves on pool chemicals and pool heating

Ease of maintenance

  • MultiCyclone Plus offers the environmental benefits of cartridge filtration without the inconvenience of frequent filter cartridge removal, cleaning and replacement
  • Offers similar convenience to a sand filter without the need for excessive volumes of water to backwash the filter.
  • UV and corrosion proof
