“Stop checking every filter individually: Design it out instead,” says Hydrosphere’s Technical Director and Founder Peter Barrett.
“If you’re running filters in parallel in a CPC clean and fail to configure it well, inconsistent flow will be your hidden enemy. Water takes the path of least resistance – it’s lazy. A poor set up will result in some filter units getting too much flow while others get very little.
“This results in the filter set up being out of balance, pumps not being able to work as efficiently as they should, and you – or your team – will need to keep checking filters individually housing by housing.”
There’s a better way, he says, a reverse return arrangement.
Configuring it this way means:
– First in = last in
– Equal pipe lengths
– A naturally balanced flow
In practice this means:
– Every filter gets the same flow
– There are no ‘weak performers’ at the end of the line
– And, no need to rebalance the system
And most importantly…
– You can change all the filters in each housing in one go – saving you time, effort and money.
Reverse return is smart engineering.
