Laguna, a Rolf C. Hagen brand, released a new series of Pressure Flo Filters in 1,000–, 2,000-, 3,000- and 4,000-gallon sizes.
The system, comprising Pressure Flo 1000 to 4000 models, is designed to work in tandem with a solids handling pump. During the Pressure Flo’s mechanical filtration stage, water is collected into the filter with a pressurized vortex where durable foam filters intercept and trap dirt and debris. This dirt-free water then passes along an integrated UV-C lamp, where it is exposed to ultraviolet rays that inhibit the growth of single-celled algae organisms. An LED indicator shows when the lamp is running. The Pressure Flo 2000 – 4000 models also include upgraded biological media (BioLava) to improve biological filtration. The large porous surface of the BioLava rocks promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria, according to the company.
Other features of the new series include cleaning handles, a valve diverter and a backwash-cleaning system.
