UFF Jet Wash®Regenerative Media Filter
K-Fluid has been representing AF Water Systems from Australia since 2021. We have successfully introduced AF WATER's UFF Jet Wash® Regenerative Media Filter to swimming pools in Hong Kong. The performance of the system has been highly satisfactory and our pre-and-post service support is highly recognized by the operators and guests.
Fabricated with food grade 304 stainless steel,the UFF Jet Wash® Regenerative Media Filter uses perlite,a safe and stable filter media,to remove particles down to 1 micron,while sand filter only removes impurities above 15-20 micron.
The filtration efficacy is significantly improved with the UFF Jet Wash® Regenerative Media Filter,which brings much safer,much cleaner and clearer water to recreational water applications like swimming pool,water park,hot spring, fountain.
UFF Jet Wash® Regenerative Media Filter can effectively capture virus,as it remove particles down to 1 micron in water.Meanwhile,some viruses can not be captured by sand filter as they range from 18-450 micron.The UFF Jet Wash® Regenerative Media Filter also removes parasites with a diameter of 3-5 micron like Cryptosporidium,which always gets away from sand filter.
Filtration of Extremely Small Particles
as small as 1 Micron
UFF Jet Wash® Regenerative Media Filter is a more efficient alternative to sand or D.E. filtration. It’s capable of filtering out materials as small as the 1 to 5 micron size range, while traditional sand filters can only remove particles in the 15 to 20 micron range. A micron is one millionth of a millimeter. A human hair is about 50microns in diameter. UFF Jet Wash® Regenerative Media Filter is the only category of swimming pool filter that may capture viruses since viruses are too small to be effectively captured by more traditional sand filtration it can remove parasites such as cryptosporidium(crypto) most of these harmful bacteria will be captured and removed from the pool water. Traditional sand filters will rarely capture these tiny microorganisms (crypto is on the order of 3 to 5 microns in size). The ultra fine filtration of the UFF Jet Wash® Regenerative Media Filter will produce safer and cleaner water in your swimming pool. This can be observed visually and in testing we have observed a measured value of 0.02 NTU. Most standards around the world are 0.2 NTU meaning the UFF Jet wash ® Regenerative Media Filter is cleaning the water of suspended solids 10 times above the standards required.
High Level of
Water Conservation
UFF Jet Wash® Regenerative Media Filters have high level of water conservation, only water loss associated with the UFF Jet Wash ® Regenerative Media Filter is twice the volume of the filter tank itself usually once a month with a correctly sized filter. usually once a month with a correctly sized filter. When it is time to replace the perlite material in the tank, after several regenerative cycles, the volume of an entire tank is wasted to removal of all dirty perlite. The UFF Jet Wash ® Regenerative Media Filter cleaning will use approximately a tanks volume to clean the tubes of any remaining perlite and debris. This water loss is magnitudes less than with a traditional sand filter that requires a backwash rate generally 1.5 times the filter flow rate for a period of 3 to 5 minutes at least once a week. With a sand filter this must occur every time the filter needs to be backwashed. Water savings are more than 90% compared to equivalent sand filters.
Energy saving and Spaces
& Construction saving
UFF Jet Wash® Regenerative Media Filter operates at lower head pressure throughout the filter cycle reducing power demand. And the elimination of backwash waste associated with sand filtration provides significant wastewater treatment savings. Compare with traditional sand filters, UFF Jet Wash® Regenerative Media Filter has more effective filter area. In the same filter area, UFF Jet Wash ® Regenerative Media Filter takes up 1/4 to 1/6 of the space required by an equivalently sized sand system. This saves both space and construction costs.
