Coverdeau filters: ISI’O and 6-CLONE Transparent ACIS, what are their advantages and which one should you choose?

When it comes to maintaining clean and crystal-clear pool water, the filtration system plays a crucial role. Coverdeau offers solutions adapted to all needs, among which the ISI’O sand filter wash water recovery filter and the 6-CLONE Transparent ACIS cartridge filter stand out. Each of these filters has unique characteristics, and the choice between the two will depend on your priorities in terms of performance, water savings, and pool type. Discover below a detailed comparison of these two filters.

ISI’O sand filter wash water recovery filter

The ISI’O Filter is an innovative solution that allows for the recovery and reuse of wash water from your sand filter. This system, both ecological and economical, aims to reduce the waste of water, a precious resource.

Key Features:

• Wash water recovery: This filter is designed to capture the wash water generated during sand filter cleaning, an essential step for maintaining optimal filtration. It allows for the recovery of up to 80% of wash water, which can then be reused for pool maintenance or garden watering.
• Filtration capacity: It ensures efficient filtration of fine particles present in the wash water before discharge, helping to maintain a clean environment.
• Ease of use: The system is automated and does not require frequent manual intervention, which greatly simplifies pool maintenance.
• Reduction of ecological footprint: By reusing wash water, this system reduces water waste and minimizes the environmental impact of your pool.

Advantages:

• Substantial water savings: By recovering and reusing wash water, you reduce water consumption for pool maintenance.
• Ecological: It contributes to more responsible water management, ideal for drought-sensitive areas.
• Automated: Easy maintenance with an automatic management system.

Disadvantages:

• May not be suitable for all pool configurations: If your pool does not have a sand filtration system, this product will not be usable.

6-CLONE Transparent ACIS cartridge filter

The 6-CLONE Transparent ACIS cartridge filter is a cartridge filtration solution, ideal for medium to large-sized pools. This model is designed to offer fine and efficient filtration while being very easy to maintain.

Key Features:

• Cartridge filtration: Uses high-quality cartridges to filter fine impurities in your pool water. These cartridges are designed to capture a wide range of particles, ensuring clean and clear water.
• Transparency: Thanks to its transparent housing, it allows for easy visualization of the cartridge status and knowing when it is necessary to clean or replace it.
• High filtration efficiency: The 6-CLONE ACIS uses specific cartridges designed to offer a high flow rate while maintaining a fine and efficient filtration capacity.
• Simplified maintenance: Cartridge cleaning is quick and easy, which helps reduce maintenance costs and maintain optimal filtration.

Advantages:

• Practical and easy-to-maintain cartridge system: Cartridge cleaning is simple, which reduces long-term maintenance costs.
• Fine filtration: Effective against small impurities and ideal for pools with relatively clean water.
• Housing transparency: Allows for quick visual monitoring of the cartridge status.

Disadvantages:

• Water recovery not included: Unlike the ISI’O model, it does not offer a wash water recovery system.
• Consumables to replace: Cartridges must be replaced periodically, which generates a recurring cost.

Comparison: ISI’O vs 6-CLONE Transparent ACIS

1. Filtration efficiency:

• The 6-CLONE Transparent ACIS offers fine and efficient filtration thanks to its high-performance cartridges, ideal for maintaining clean and clear water, especially for pools with relatively clean water.
• The ISI’O Filter is intended for deeper cleaning of wash water from the sand filter, allowing the recovery of up to 80% of the wash water. However, it is not designed to replace a classic filtration system for maintaining the clarity of the pool water.

2. Water savings:

• The ISI’O Filter is the most ecological option, as it recovers wash water, thereby reducing water consumption for pool maintenance.
• The 6-CLONE Transparent ACIS does not offer this type of recovery, but it is more efficient at directly treating impurities in the pool water.

3. Ease of maintenance:

• The ISI’O Filter requires less manual maintenance after installation, thanks to its wash water recovery and reuse system.
• The 6-CLONE Transparent ACIS requires more frequent cartridge maintenance, but its transparent housing greatly facilitates maintenance management.

4. Cost and long-term profitability:

• The ISI’O Filter may represent a higher initial investment, but it allows for substantial water savings over the long term, making it a cost-effective choice for pools in regions where water is a scarce resource.
• The 6-CLONE Transparent ACIS offers a lower purchase cost, but the cartridges must be replaced regularly, which can increase maintenance costs over time.

Which filter to choose?

• If you are looking to reduce your water consumption and want an eco-friendly system, the ISI’O Filter is the best option. Ideal for pools with a sand filter, it will allow you to save water and simplify filter maintenance while preserving the environment.
• If you prefer a simpler and more efficient filtration system, with moderate maintenance costs but without wash water recovery, the 6-CLONE Transparent ACIS Filter is the perfect choice. It is suitable for pools that require fine and regular filtration, with easily replaceable cartridges.
