Mode of action of the Ego3 hot tub filters - a new dimension
Our hot tub filters follow a completely technologically new approach. They use a three-dimensional filter material instead of two-dimensional filter fleece as used in cartridge filters.
And exactly this difference changes everything.
1) Filter result EGo3 hot tub filter
The EGo3 filter filters 100% of the dirt worldwide as a single filter.
In the first week of use, it also filters all particles larger than 40 micrometers like the cartridge filter. The cartridge filter can never filter particles smaller than 40 micrometers. After about one week, the zero dirt effect (adhesion of the fibers) of the EGo3 filter develops and it can filter every particle. You get technically pure water. Along with this comes the hot tub watercare much easier, because unlike the cartridge filter, there are no longer huge amounts of micro dirt particles in the water. Although you cannot see these, they naturally burden the water quality and, moreover, the hot tub water develops a characteristic odor after a few weeks due to these always present microparticles (the user's skin also smells slightly). EGo3 filtered water has absolutely no suspended solids and is absolutely odorless.
2) Filter capacity Ego3 hot tub filter
Cartridge filters are basically nothing more than a mesh with a certain mesh size through which the water is pushed. The filter area is therefore very small even though countless folds (which are very difficult to clean) are made in the filter to increase the area. The EGo3, because it uses the entire three-dimensional filter volume, has a 4-5 times higher dirt absorption capacity.
3) Cleaning cycle hot tub filter
The cartridge filter should be cleaned at least every 2 weeks to achieve a lifespan of at least one year. Cleaning the cartridge filters takes about 20 minutes per filter and also requires chemicals for filter cleaning. The Ego3 filter is only cleaned every 8 weeks (see also point 2). This takes about 5-10 minutes. This means that cartridge filters have to be cleaned 4 times as often and it also takes twice as long as with the EGo3 filter. Cleaning cartridge filters is 8 times as laborious as cleaning EGo3 hot tub filters.
4) Clogging of the filter
Cartridge filters clog immediately if not cleaned often enough. Ego3 filters cannot clog.
5) Dirt binding
Since the Ego3 filter filters vertically and the flow direction when removing from the hot tub is the filter direction, 100% of the dirt remains in the filter. If you remove a dirty cartridge filter, 10% of the dirt is back in the water when unscrewing it.

Therefore, the Ego3 hot tub filter can do the following things:
- it filters much more (all particles)
- it filters much longer (8 times as long as cartridge filters)
- it is much easier to clean (3-4 times faster and it becomes much cleaner in the process)
- it never clogs (meaning the hot tub never has to stop)
- it holds all the dirt in the filter
- it saves 95% waste and thus also protects the environment
- it reduces chemical demand by 20-30%
- it is much cheaper because only the filter material (the fiber balls) is replaced and that at most once a year and only 12-14 fiber balls
The Ego3 hot tub filter is guaranteed the best and cheapest hot tub filter in the world!
What can't Ego3 hot tub filters do?
If you perform a test with heavily polluted water, the cartridge filter immediately filters out all particles up to 40 micrometers on the first pass. Its performance ends there. And the water reaches a maximum NTU of 0.5. The Ego3 filter needs several passes to break down the dirt. But it keeps filtering until technically pure water is reached again with a turbidity of NTU 0.1. Why can't the Ego3 filter do that? Because it was built and developed to perfectly filter hot tub water and no one fills hot tubs with heavily polluted and contaminated water. To clean very dirty water, the Ego3 filter takes a few hours longer than the cartridge filter, but then it achieves significantly better values again. Why? Because it was developed to make your hot tub water perfect and not to quickly sieve very heavily soiled water.
To put it bluntly:
The Ego3 filter is not a coffee filter (the cartridge filter works according to the coffee filter principle), but the perfect hot tub water filter with an 8-fold guarantee.
