SWIMMING POOL FILTERATION PLANT

Pressure Sand Filter
Filter is used to remove physical impurities from the swimming pool water and it may be of various type i.e. Cartrege filter, Pressure sand filter, D.E. Filter etc. But in our atmosphere and working conditions, pressure sand filters is commonly used due to its low maintenance and wide range of capacity.

Iontech pressure sand filter for swimming pool are designed on the basis of 20-40 Mtr./hr. water velocity accross the pressure sand filter depending upon the size of swimming pool.

Iontech pressure filter are fabricated from high quality M.S. Sheets by the skilled workers under the supervision of experienced engineering team. the filters are tested upto 5.0 Kg./cm ² pressure before external & internal painting works. All piping fabricated of M.S. ERW piping and assembled with high quality rubber gaskets and hardware. Valves are used in pressure filters are of Audco, Venus make (Metalic) Midas, Prehar (ABS Plastic multiport upto 65 mm NB).

Circulation Pump
The pump set is the heart of filtration system and selection of appropriate pump set is the key of proper circulation system. Iontech swimming pool filtration system are equipped with standard and branded pump set such as Kirloskar, Becon, Bharat Bijli, Crompton, Mather + Platt make. These Indian pumps are most suitable due to their low maintenance, availability of spares, after sales service, wide range of flow rate and required head and off course competitive cost.

Suction Sweeper
Suction sweeper is a device which is used for sucking the heavy particles of swimming pool being setteled naturally or by cogulation from the bottom of pool with minimum disturbance of the clear water. It works like a vaccume cleaner. Iontech suction sweeper having stainless steel body with stainless steel spring actuated nylon brush, heavy duty nylon vaccume pipe, trolley mounted self priming non-clog pump set of Kirlosker, three core flexible electrical cabling and MCB operated industrial socket and plug. If swimming pool size is small than main re-circulation pump can be used instead of separate vaccume pump.

Chemical Dosing Equipment
Chemical dosing equipment (Pump) are used for dosing of chemicals in the large swimming pools. Chemical like liquid chlorine is used for disinfection (Killing of bacteria, algae), Alum and soda Ash are used for Cogulation means to convert the suspended particles in the flocks (heavy particles) which would be retained in the pressure filter or settled in the bottom of the swimming pool.

Hair Strainer
Iontech hair stainer are used as pre-filter to protect the pump impeller, which might be damaged by small stone particles, any piece of metalic / plastic hardware, leaves, small grass and specially from human hair. The size of hair strainer is designed for minimum ten time surface area of screen basket in respect to cross sectional area of suction side of pumpset strainers are fabricated from M.S. pipe with flange fitting arrangement and quick openable lid with rubber 'O' ring. The main screen is fabricated from S.S. perforated sheet.

Electrical Control Panel
Electrical control panel must be installed with any type of electrical motor. The panel would help to protect electrical equipments e. g. recirculation pump set, dosing pumps, suction sweeper as well as human life. Electrical control panel used with Iontech filtration system are equipped with all measuring equipments e.g. volt meter, ampere meter etc., and with all protection devices e.g. overload relay, appropriate contactor for motors, suitable MCB and colour coaded and marked power as well as control wiring to facilitate replacement of any component in the future. The panel is fitted with all standard accessories of L & T, Seimens, English electric etc.

Easy Test Kit
Easy test kit is used for instant checking of residule chlorine and pH value of the swimming pool water at site only.

How To Select & maintain a Proper Filtration System
Few valuable tips are given below to select the best swimming pool filtration system suitable for your swimming pool.

Determination of Turn-over period
The turn-over period for small swimming pool (below 1 lakh ltr. water holding capacity) should not exceed more than 4 - 5 hours, for medium size swimming pool (1 lakh ltr. to 5 lakh ltr. water holding capacity), turn over period should be considered 5 to 6 hours and for large swimming pool (more than 5 lakh ltrs. water holding capacity) the turn over period should not be exceed more than 8 hours.

Specially for open overflow type swimming pool the rate of flow of recirculating water should be at least that much, that it can be overflow from at least 75% peripheral area to achieve the sparkling clear water in the swimming pool.

Pressure filter should be designed with maximum 25 - 30 Mtr./hr. (25-30 M³/hr./M² filtration rate) water velocity across the pressure filter for the small pool and for the medium & large pools the velocity must be not more than 20 Mtrs./hr.

For Examaple:
Swimming pool size is 40 feet length, 20 feet width and average depth is 4 feet.

The total volume (water holding capacity) of the swimming pool would be

Being small pool the turnover period should be 4-5 hours, therefore requirement of filtration plant would be 20,000 liters/hr. capacity.

Work Out The Diameter (Size) of Pressure Filter Vessel:

Designed water velocity across the pressure filter at 25 Mtr./hr.

It is common sense that the larger area of any filtration surface would be block in longer time and frequent backwash would not be required in comparison to small filter.

Recirculating pump set should be selected at least 20% higher capacity to take care decreasing of efficiency, ware and tear losses being occurred in the span of time, therefore replacement of component or complete pump would not be required at least before 5-6 years minimum.

Electrical control panel should be equipt with all standard / branded components which are having proper control as well as longer life.

The dosing of chemicals in the swimming pool should be maintained properly to achieve longer life of swimming pool water as well as filtration system. The consumption of chemicals should be checked regularly because it is a major re-curring expense and has to be controlled to reduces the running cost. Generally the consumption of chemicals increases during the rain, dust warm and heavy load of swimmers in the swimming pool.

Be ensure the voltage of electrical supply should be proper to avoid any electrical break down. If the voltage fluctuation are very frequent, one automatic voltage stabilizer of required capacity might be installed before the electrical control panel.

Filtration plant should be operated daily as per the turnover period of the system.

Suction sweeper must be operated everyday in early morning hours because all suspended particles settled down in the bottom.

M.S. sheet fabricated pressure filter should be painted internally and externally after every four years at least to achieve longer life of filtration plant.

The filtration plant should be installed as nearest to the pool to reduce pipe line losses and pumping cost.
