Upgrade Your Pool Filtration: Traditional Sand Filters vs. Precoat Micron Filtration System
In the selection of swimming pool equipment, the filtration system plays a pivotal role in determining water quality, operational efficiency, and long-term maintenance costs. As expectations for pool water purity and sustainable operations continue to rise, traditional sand filters are increasingly falling short. In contrast, the Precoat Micron Filtration System—powered by advanced precoat diatomaceous earth (DE) filtration technology—is emerging as the new standard for modern pool filtration.
Why Filtration Matters More Than Ever
From public pools and resorts to water parks and high-end wellness centers, water clarity and safety are non-negotiable. Yet many operations still rely on outdated systems that can only deliver “basic filtration,” leading to recurring water quality issues, increased labor, and excessive water consumption.
The Precoat Micron Filtration System is engineered to address these exact pain points, offering a precision-engineered solution that delivers better results with lower operating costs.
Key Differences: Traditional Sand Filters vs. Precoat Micron Filtration
| Feature | Traditional Sand Filter | Precoat Micron Filtration System |
|---|---|---|
| Filtration Accuracy | 15–50μm – limited removal of fine particles | 1–3μm – removes suspended solids, fine particles, and microorganisms |
| Water Quality | Basic clarity, not suitable for high-end or sensitive applications | Crystal-clear water, stable and safe for long-term use |
| Operation & Control | Manual valve switching, no media regeneration | PLC-based smart system with auto modes for precoat, filtration, and regeneration |
| Media Usage | Sand media, non-renewable | DE powder – renewable, longer service life |
| Backwash Frequency | High – results in water waste and operational downtime | Low – reduces water consumption and improves uptime |
| Space & Installation | Bulky footprint, time-consuming onsite setup | Compact, factory-preassembled unit – plug-and-play integration |
| Maintenance Costs | High – more manual labor, water, and energy usage | Lower – automated system reduces labor and utility costs |
Designed for Efficiency, Built for the Future
The Precoat Micron Filtration System isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a complete transformation of how pool filtration is approached. Here’s how it adds value from the very start:
-
Water Savings: Minimal backwash reduces water waste by up to 80%
-
Labor Reduction: Automated controls eliminate the need for frequent manual intervention
-
Long-Term ROI: Lower utility bills, fewer maintenance calls, and a cleaner system over time
-
Space Efficiency: Smaller installation footprint with high-performance output
-
Ideal for Demanding Projects: Perfect for large commercial pools, hotels, water parks, competition pools, and aquatic facilities where precision and efficiency are critical
Choose the Smarter Way to Filter
While traditional sand filters may appear cost-effective initially, their long-term limitations in performance, efficiency, and operational cost often make them an expensive choice over time.
The Precoat Micron Filtration System delivers a new level of filtration precision, long-term reliability, and sustainability. Whether you’re upgrading an existing system or building a new project, choosing the right filtration solution will define your water quality and operating success for years to come.
