This ingenious water saving filtration device won the much-coveted sustainability Award at the 2007 Barcelona Piscina show (the showcase for the European wet leisure industry).
Its unique filtration system saves water and reduces the need for frequent backwashing and is ideal as a pre-filter to extend the life and improve performance of existing filtration.
The Multicyclone works on the basis of centrifugal water filtration and is capable of saving water and reducing filter maintenance. There are no moving parts to wear and tear, and no filter media to clean or replace.
When used with a sand filter, Multicyclone enables the backwashing frequency to be reduced and the life of the filter media to be extended.
How does it work?-
Incoming water is guided by a diverter plate so that it enters multiple hydro cyclones tangentially, generating a strong centrifugal effect.
-
This spins the sediment out to the hydro cyclone’s wall and then spirals it down to the sediment sump, while the cleansed water spirals upwards.
-
The MultiCyclone is cleaned by simply opening the purge valve. Only 15 litres of water is discharged to clean the MultiCyclone of sediment.
