Your aquatic facility’s filtration system is mission-critical, acting in concert with your sanitization system to ensure pool water is safe for swimmers. But if you’re still relying on sand filtration, you should know that there are more effective methods available that require far less maintenance. Regenerative media filters offer an innovative alternative, and with the latest RMF technology, you can save money and space in the pump room while filtering much smaller particles, making your pool even safer for swimmers. The newest generation of RMF filters allow for retrofits without demolishing walls or cutting holes in the roof, saving tens of thousands of dollars.
Higher-Rate Filtration
To ensure you’re getting the most effective pool filtration, look for the latest RMF technology, designed to filter water at a much higher rate. You can find an RMF with an NSF 50 listing at 3.0 gallons per minute per square foot of filtration, much higher than the 1.4 gallons per minute per square foot, allowing you to purchase a smaller filter to do the same job.
What’s more, because the filters are certified to a much higher filtration rate, they will filter out smaller particles, which ultimately will improve the effectiveness of your sanitization system. The more particulate your filters remove from the water, the fewer chemicals you’ll need to keep your water balanced, saving money and helping to prevent chloramines.
While many facilities solely rely on a secondary system like UV or ozone to handle chlorine-resistant pathogens, the addition of the newest RMF technology provides an even safer system, as their high level of filtration will physically remove cryptosporidium from the water. Otherwise, you’ll be counting on your UV or ozone system to deactivate crypto, and it only takes one mistake for that crypto to be recirculated back into the water, where it may sicken swimmers.
Maintenance & Lifecycle
Unlike sand filters, RMF filters do not require backwashing. This saves you from wasting water, along with the cost of heating and chemically treating that new water. And because the systems are automated, you won’t need to assign your pool staff to the task of backwashing on a regular basis, freeing them up to handle other duties.
