Model Ego3 Toploader No.5 - our all-rounder for filters in the round shaft

TOPLOADER (EGo3 Filter 5): One filter model replaces dozens of different cartridge filters installed in a round shaft

There are many hot tub manufacturers who install hot tub filter in a round shaft. These come in various designs. However, they almost always have one thing in common: the shaft has a diameter of 150mm. And we at Ego3 have used this commonality to cover all these cartridge filter variants with just one filter. Whether your old filter has an internal thread, external thread, or no thread at all, if the shaft where the filter is installed is 150mm, then the EGo3 Toploader fits.

This made the Toploader model our BESTSELLING HOT TUB FILTER with more than 10,000 units in use!

INSTRUCTION: How do I proceed when switching from cartridge filter to toploader?

  • Remove all previous parts! Attention: some versions still have a finishing ring at the top of the shaft (e.g. picture in variant 2) that reduces the diameter at the top. This must also be removed.
  • Fill the toploader with 12-14 Filterballs.
  • When using the toploader for the first time, carefully and slowly push it into the shaft. There are 3 felt gliders around the circumference of the toploader. These must stay nicely in position. They serve to prevent the filter from floating up later and to keep it in position. The felt gliders now precisely adapt to the distance between the filter and the shaft. 
  • Push the toploader into the shaft until the lid of the toploader rests on the upper edge of the shaft. This prevents the filter from being pulled further into the shaft and keeps it in position.
  • With that, you are already done.

hot tub Guru Tips

The Skimmer function is still present because the toploader creates a vortex at one of the intakes and thus also draws from the surface.
Since the Ego3 forms the new closure, there is a color selection. Choose from 4 colors of the lid (white, light gray, anthracite, or black).
If you have Variant 3 as the starting situation, the "cap" can be reinstalled on some models.
You no longer need any other old parts. A coarse pre-filter is no longer necessary.

Why does the toploader work so excellently?

  • It filters the entire diameter vertically. Dirt cannot settle anywhere in the shaft and cause contamination.
  • Changing and cleaning is extremely fast.
  • The entire 3D filter material is always used.

When can I not use the toploader?

Ego3 toploader variants

VARIANT 1 is the right one for the Ego3 toploader model. The shaft is straight and has a diameter of 150mm.

VARIANT 2: When the shaft is larger than 150mm! VARIANT 2 - then you need anEGo3 filter with thread!

VARIANT 3: When the shaft is not always 150mm but suddenly becomes smaller in the middle! Unfortunately, we do not have an Ego3 filter for this!
