NEXT GENERATION MULTICYCLONE PLUS SAVES WATER, ENERGY AND CARES FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
International swimming pool and water treatment specialists Waterco has unveiled the next generation of its award-winning centrifugal pre-filter, the MultiCyclone. Waterco engineers have taken the MultiCyclone technology further and developed the MultiCyclone Plus, a vertically- mounted, pre-filtration/filtration unit which saves thousands of litres of water a year compared to sand filtration systems and is more energy efficient and simpler to install. The Australian designed MultiCyclone Plus is a world first, and uses advanced hydro cyclone technology to reduce the footprint of the filtration system. It combines all of the revolutionary features of its predecessor with an inbuilt cartridge filter. The streamlined design means the entire pool filtration system can be installed vertically, on top of a standard pool pump or on a base alongside the circulation pump. Waterco Europe’s Managing Director Tony Fisher said: “We are
hoping the MultiCyclone Plus will be for the swimming pool industry what Dyson was for the vacuum cleaner industry. It represents a huge leap forward since we launched the original MultiCyclone in 2007 and we believe with so much emphasis being put on environmentally friendly products it is the only filtration system that truly meets the criteria. “Waterco have created two Multicyclone Plus models: the MC16(40) 2” and MC12(40) 1½” Multicyclone Plus filtration systems. Regardless of whether you have an above-ground pool, plunge pool or an in-ground domestic 75m³ pool, the MultiCyclone Plus has the power and capability to filter it – and in doing so it will save water and energy plus reduce maintenance. “Both designs are ultra compact, complete pool filtration systems which occupy virtually half the footprint of a 24-inch sand filter. By placing the MultiCyclone on the top of the filter, it takes up the footprint of the pump, which means it is more hydraulically efficient.
“The MultiCyclone Plus increases the capacity of the inbuilt 40 square foot filter cartridge by five times, equivalent to a 200 sq ft filter cartridge or 24” sand filter. Its centrifugal section filter pre-filters up to 80% of the dirt which would normally go into the filter, and drains it out through the purge valve connected to the lower clear sediment chamber.
“This means the MultiCyclone Plus cuts out most of the dirt that would normally clog pool filters, reducing the frequency of filter maintenance by up to 80%. And it only takes 15 litres of water to flush the MultiCyclone Plus, which saves pool owners’ time and money,” Tony adds. Waterco’s MultiCyclone technology has been independently tested by NSF International, the world leader in

standards development, product certification, education and risk management. Tests showed that the MultiCyclone can save swimming pool and spa operators both time and money by drastically reducing the need for backwashing. Further, the MultiCyclone can extend the life of a filter by decreasing water consumption and prolonging the life of filter media or cartridges. Waterco has also unveiled its new Zane Gulfpanel – the latest addition to Waterco’s range of solar products, complementing the original strip absorber form of solar pool heating, the Zane Gulfstream. “This is a clear evolution of our Zane Gulf solar solutions,” says Tony Fisher.
“Extensive research, development and testing have gone into the refinement of the Zane Gulfpanel. In creating this system, we have taken on board feedback from our dealers who have highlighted the opportunities of the panel system.” Zane Gulfpanels are precision injection-moulded from a high-trade formulated polymer, which was selected for its outstanding heat transfer properties and its exceptional durability. The design and materials also ensure the Gulfpanel system withstands extreme weather conditions, is resistant to bird and wildlife attacks, is easy to
install and use, and is UV stabilised. “By adding the Zane Gulfpanel to our range, we are in the unique position of offering both types of systems, ensuring we can provide a solar solution to meet every requirement,” adds Tony.
“Gulfstream strip absorbers are best for custom installations on multiple and odd shaped roofs as they cover the entire surface of the roof, whilst the Gulfpanel solution is ideal for a standard roof configuration, plus they’re easily installed.”
The Gulfpanel has a number of key benefits: • Its modular design means the system is easily and quickly installed.
• Each Gulfpanel consists of miniature solar absorber tubes to maximise the surface area exposed to the sun. The result is outstanding heat transfer.
• The Zane Gulfpanel is moulded, so the dimensions of the strips have been reduced, increasing the exposed surface area to the sun.
• Each panel is a solid, one-piece construction without joins, and each panel is connected by a barrel union system which is unique to Waterco.
