Ospa diffuser technology
The quality of a filter system is not only determined by the filter material, grain size, layer height, and filtration speed but also by its internal hydraulics—how water is guided through the filter during filtration and backwashing. Ospa diffuser technology has perfected this internal hydraulic system.
Special fine water distributors, tailored to each filter, ensure turbulence-free distribution across the filter surface. This is crucial for consistently excellent filtration quality: the calmer the filter surface, the better the filtration result, avoiding scouring effects.
With Ospa diffuser technology, backwashing becomes more thorough. Even at backwash speeds of up to 50 m/h, there is no material loss. The filter material includes adsorptive activated carbon, quartz filter sand, and three graded support layers of quartz filter gravel.
Long lifespan
The robust Ospa polyester filter tanks are constructed from multilayered hand-laminates using highly chemical-resistant resins and certified by KSW.
By using high-quality plastics for the diffuser system and the self-closing, pressure-water-actuated Ospa hydro-switching valves, you’re ensured maximum corrosion resistance and mechanical durability.
