With the FLOW Vortex, House of DURATECH introduces a cyclone pre-filter that captures up to 80% of the debris before it reaches the main filter. The result: far less backwashing or cartridge cleaning and noticeably lower water consumption.
Less water down the drain
Dry summers and rising water bills make pool owners more critical of every wasted litre. With a conventional sand filter, most water is lost during backwashing, and the faster the filter clogs, the more often backwashing is needed.
The FLOW Vortex tackles this at the source. Its 22 cyclones spin debris particles down to 40 microns into a transparent collection bowl, without filter media or chemicals. Flushing takes just a few seconds and uses very little water.
The FLOW Vortex delivers its greatest benefit in combination with the FLOW Cartridge Filter. The FLOW Cartridge Filter filters down to 20–25 microns without backwashing, so no water needs to go to the sewer. The FLOW Vortex captures coarse debris upstream, so the cartridges clog less quickly. This means fewer cleaning cycles, longer cartridge life and better performance of the entire filtration system.
Easy installation
The FLOW Vortex is installed in-line in the pipework. With dimensions of 230 × 262 × 385 mm and a weight of just 4.4 kg, it fits easily even in a small installation space.
Thanks to the supplied installation fittings, the FLOW Vortex fits any installation, new or existing. The fittings are designed for 50 or 63 mm PVC pipes, so no additional adapters are needed. Drainage is via a standard 50 mm pipe connection.
In summary
The FLOW Vortex saves water by sharply reducing backwashing, or eliminating it entirely in combination with the FLOW Cartridge Filter. Because the FLOW Vortex captures coarse debris upstream, the filter cartridges also last noticeably longer. It is compact, quick to install in any system and requires virtually no maintenance.
