How do Ego3 filters work?

Functionality of the Ego3 hot tub filter - a new dimension

Our hot tub filter follow a completely new technological 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 dirt worldwide as an entry-level 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, hot tub water care is much easier, because unlike with the cartridge filter, there are no longer huge amounts of micro-dirt particles in the water. Although you cannot see these, they naturally affect 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 completely odorless.

2) Filter capacity Ego3 hot tub filter

Cartridge filters are essentially nothing more than a mesh with a specific mesh size through which water is pressed. 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, by utilizing 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 need 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 the Ego3 hot tub filter.

4) Clogging of the filters

Cartridge filters clog immediately if they are not cleaned often enough. EGo3 filters cannot clog.

5) Dirt binding

Since the EGo3 filter filters vertically and the flow direction when removing it from the hot tub is the filter direction, 100% of the dirt remains in the filter. When 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:

  • he 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)
  • he never clogs (that means the hot tub never has to stop)
  • he holds all the dirt in the filter
  • he saves 95% waste and thus also protects the environment
  • it reduces the chemical requirement 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 to be the best and most affordable hot tub filter in the world!

What can't EGo3 hot tub filter do?

If you conduct a test with heavily contaminated 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 of NTU 0.5. The EGo3 filter requires several passes to break down the dirt. However, it continues 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 whirlpool water, and no one fills whirlpools with heavily contaminated and polluted water. To clean very dirty water, the EGo3 filter takes a few hours longer than the cartridge filter, but it then achieves significantly better values again. Why? Because it was developed to make your whirlpool water perfect and not to quickly sieve very heavily soiled water.

false testing with very heavily contaminated wastewaterTo 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 8-fold warranty.
