Micron side bobbin wound sand filter Waterco

Reinforced solidity

The internal envelope of the Micron Side Its internal coating is made from polyester resin which is doubled using glass fiber. The alliance of these two materials makes this filter a robust and perennial choice.

During manufacture, the Waterco filament bobbin continuously rolls around the envelope of fine, metallic strands. This procedure is effectuated under digital quality control to check for any default or abnormality.

Once this manufacturing step has been completed, the tank of the filter is a monoblock, without joining or soldering.

This characteristic creates a product of superior quality when these materials are used. The Micron Side Waterco filter proves to have long-term resistance to chemical treatment products, corrosion and water electrolysis.
Lighter than steel, the glass used in the tank means you can move and install your sand filter safely and easily.

Description of the Micron Side Waterco

1 - Entry diffuser : This element distributes water in an even manner to the tank as to avoid holes developing on the sand bed surface providing a level surface.
2 - Pressure gauge
3 - Ultra resistant, ABS, 6-way valve positioned on the filter side with a maximum working pressure of 400 kPa
4 - Monoblock, glass-fiber reinforced polyester resin tank
5 - Sieves to reinforce filtration quality
6 - Manual purge
7 - Large base to ensure optimal stability

The multi-way valve features a sight glass allowing the inspection of water clarity. Connections are screwed quickly and easily.

Details of the 6-way valve

The 6-way valve offers an easy to use selection of the Micron side sand filter :

Filtration position : Water enters the filter and passes through the bed of sand which retains residue. Once purified, water returns to the pool.

Backwash position : The direction of water is inverted to unclog the sand and remove impurities.

Rinsing position : This step follows backwash cycle: Water carries impurities contained in the sand and is sent to the drain.

Drain position : When the pool is emptied or overflows, water is sent to the main drain without passing through the filter.

Open circulation : Water passes by the multiway valve but not the filter

Closed circulation : The valve is shut, preventing water circulation

- Connections (metric or imperial)
- ABS structure
- Ultra resistant handle easy to manipulate
- 6 positions

- Stainless steel components
- Pressure gauge
- Manometer resistant to use
- Sight glass in transparent glass

Operation

Select "Filtration" on the valve :

1) Water arrives from the pool skimmers and enters the Micron Side from the upper valve. The water passes through the filtering bed and the retained impurities are held between the sand particles.

2) Clarified water passes through the sieves that retain grains of sand and returns to the pool via the outlet (lower valve).

When the filter is too clogged to operate correctly, the integrated pressure gauge shows a pressure reading which is too high. This is when a backwash cycle of the sand filter must be effectuated.

The backwash position evacuates all impurities contained in the sand.
Once the valve is placed in position, the direction of water is inverted.

1) Water enters via the lower valve

2) Water passes through the sieves, unclogging and lifting the bed of sand.

3) The impurities are suspended in the water.

4) The water containing the suspended particles is evacuated to the drain.

The Micron Side filter Waterco then begins its rinsing cycle, before stabilising positioning the cleansed sand bed. This step, that requires only a few seconds to complete, evacuates any remaining impurities in the filter.

The filter must be regularly maintained to conserve full filtering capacity.
