Editorial

Our newsletter sponsor for this week is Honeywell GmbH, leaders in water control products.

Water filtration is a process which removes impurities from water by means of a fine physical barrier, chemical process, and/or biological process.

Waterco`s MultiCyclone centrifugal pre-filter has been awarded SPASA NSW most innovative product award. SPASA`s panel of independent judges awarded the filter for its water saving features and its innovative method of filtering sediment without any filter media or moving parts. The MultiCyclone captures 80 percent of the sediment that would normally clog the filter and drains it out, leading to a decrease in backwash frequency. It is easy to install in both existing and new pools.
