Ball filter with excellent value for money. High reputation!
The low pressure required for pumping is the great advantage of the SuperBead filter, compared to other sand or bead filters, since it is quite possible to work with low pressure pumps (very energy efficient). Modified sand filters often require pumps 2-4 times more powerful to circulate the same amount of water through the filter.
Each bead filter is characterized by a rinsing process. Dirt particles must be flushed out of the filter. Unlike modified sand filters, the Superbead filter is specially designed for this backwashing process.
Modified sand filters:
Require more powerful water pumps (= more energy) for normal use
Offer more resistance, and therefore require larger and more expensive pumps
Use a 6-way flush valve: complex control
Requires an external compressor for rinsing: indoor mounting, sheltered from bad weather
Run the risk of over-rinsing, reducing the performance of the biological process
Use a large amount of water per rinse cycle
Have narrow connections, 50/63 mm (= more powerful pump = energy consumption)
The Superbead filter:
Operates using low-pressure, energy-efficient pumps
Uses a "gentle" rinse that does not affect the performance of the biological process
Uses a small amount of rinsing water (Small +/- 150 liters | Large +/- 400 liters)
Ensures high flow at low pressure (Small max 14 m3/h | Large max 25 m3/h)
Has a large biological treatment capacity (Small 400 g/day | Large 1 kg/day)
Has large fittings, 75 (Small) or 90 mm (Large)
Offers extreme ease of rinsing (stop the pump and drain)
Is easy to automate
Pumps and energy savings The low pressure required for pumping is the great advantage of the SuperBead filter, compared to other sand or bead filters, since it is quite possible to work with low pressure pumps (very energy efficient), for example the FlowFriend and Air-Aqua pumps. Modified sand filters often require pumps 2-4 times more powerful to circulate the same amount of water through the filter.
In practice A SuperBead filter requires a pre-filtration system, such as the SuperSieve (except in the case of an indoor pool). It is easy to set up anywhere, both underwater and outdoors. The SuperBead filter can also be installed at a distance from the pool, provided that the pipe diameters to be respected are taken into account (see box). Since it is a closed filter, an indoor installation does not generate humidity, odors or insect problems. Since the SuperBead has no electrical components, such as a compressor, it is also possible to install it outdoors.
If the waste water connection to the sewer network is remote from the filter, it is also possible to connect the pump in such a way that the waste water is pumped directly to the sewer. A special system is available for this case.
💡SuperBead Filter Automation
Automating the SuperBead flush is the best approach to ensuring good water quality. Thus, the filter is rinsed fully automatically, for example once a day, which ensures the automatic and daily evacuation of dirt. The automated system (90 mm) has two 220 V electrical outlets.
The system pump is wired so that it automatically shuts off during the flush cycle. It is also possible to install a sewage pump, operating only during the rinsing cycles, to evacuate the rinsing water from the SuperBead to the sewer network.
