Congratulations on purchasing an OC-1 filter, the revolutionary new filter media that
can save you energy and water.
OC-1 Media
OC-1 is not a traditional filter media that relies on
trapping dirt between particles, OC-1 works by reducing
the velocity of the dirt passing through the bed until it
settles out in a quiet void. This difference in the way it
works means it will behave differently to what you might
be used to with an old-fashioned filter.
Save Water
The pressure will not rise with OC-1 no matter how
much debris is in the filter. Therefore, backwashing
should be done on a time basis. For a normally used
domestic pool this would mean approx. once every
month instead of every week, saving water and time.

Save Energy

OC-1 has less resistance than traditional filter medias,
so it should be possible to use a smaller pump or
reduce the speed with a variable speed pump and
maintain the same flow that you would through
a traditional media (this is dependent on existing
restrictions through your pipework). This will save you
electricity and money. For example, if you can reduce
the speed of the pump by 20% this will equate to an
electrical saving of 48.8% (using the pump affinity law).
