Waterco Micron ECO Media Filter
The Waterco Micron ECO Media Filter is built with the latest fibreglass winding technology to deliver superior durability, hydraulic efficiency and energy and water savings. Unlike a conventional sand filter, the Micron ECO uses an internal hydraulically efficient system with fish tail laterals and a carefully engineered filter bed to provide superior depth filtration and reduced water flow resistance, resulting in clearer swimming pool water with lower running costs. Dirt is driven through the filter bed and trapped in minute spaces between the particles of filter media, ensuring effective filtration.
Designed for both residential and commercial pools, the Waterco Micron ECO is manufactured using micron fibreglass vessels made of continuous strands and fibreglass filaments for maximum strength. Waterco’s digitally controlled filament winding machine creates seamless one-piece vessels with superior quality. Its eco media filter design enhances pool filtration efficiency, lowers backwash flow rates, and extends the lifespan of the filter media, making it an excellent upgrade from standard fibreglass filters.
Product Category – Pool Filters
Key Features
- Advanced Fibreglass Construction – Micron fibreglass vessels consist of multiple layers including an inner shell reinforced with continuous strands for strength and durability.
- Hydraulic Efficiency – The internal hydraulically efficient system with fish tail laterals reduces water flow resistance and improves overall filtration.
- Depth Filtration – Designed with an optimised filter bed and filter media allowing balanced water flow, it provides greater clarity than conventional sand filters.
- Energy and Water Savings – Compatible with energy efficient pumps and engineered to deliver savings through reduced backwash flow and improved hydraulic efficiency.
- Multiport Valve Control – Equipped with a user-friendly multiport lever valve to manage filtration, backwashing and rinsing cycles with ease. Cleaning the filter requires turning the filter’s Multiport lever from the ‘filter’ position to the ‘backwash’ position.
- Eco Friendly Performance – By lowering backwashing requirements and optimising filtration flow, it delivers measurable water savings.
