The Certikin 1.5†Diffuser offers a revolutionary approach to filtration systems with its integration of OC-1 technology. Departing from conventional entrapment methods, OC-1 leverages settlement processes in conjunction with cutting-edge pump technology and variable speed pumps/controllers. This innovative British-manufactured filtration media presents a multitude of advantages that redefine the efficiency and effectiveness of pool and spa filtration systems.
One of the key benefits of OC-1 is its ability to reduce head loss within the filtration system, a feat unattainable by commonly used media like sand and glass. By adopting OC-1, filtration systems can maintain a constant flow rate irrespective of debris entrapment, resulting in consistent performance levels. Moreover, the switch to OC-1 enables a significant reduction in energy costs, allowing for the utilization of smaller pumps or variable speed pumps/controllers without compromising filtration quality.
For pool and spa owners contemplating a transition to OC-1, the advantages are compelling. Energy consumption is notably decreased with OC-1, as it ensures continuous flow rates even during media contamination, eliminating the need for downtime related to low flow concerns. The ability to run pumps at lower speeds translates to tangible energy savings, making OC-1 a sustainable and cost-effective choice.
Debris management is another area where OC-1 excels, offering a debris collection capacity that is over 20 times greater than that of sand or glass media. This enhanced capacity not only ensures thorough filtration but also minimizes the need for frequent backwashing, thereby reducing water consumption, chemical usage, and heating requirements. The efficient backwashing process facilitated by OC-1 further contributes to overall system optimization.
Aside from its functional advantages, the Certikin 1.5†Diffuser with OC-1 boasts practical features that enhance user experience. Its lightweight composition allows for convenient shipping and handling, with the option for installation inside a filter. This ease of handling, coupled with quick and straightforward installation procedures, underscores the user-friendly design of the product.
Maintenance concerns are significantly alleviated with OC-1, as its durability surpasses that of traditional media like sand, resulting in reduced system pressure and extended equipment lifespan. By adhering to international swimming pool standards, OC-1 ensures optimal filtration performance that meets industry benchmarks.
Furthermore, the environmentally conscious consumer will appreciate the recyclable nature of OC-1, allowing for sustainable disposal practices at the end of the product’s lifecycle. With a typical payback period ranging from 12 to 18 months, the Certikin 1.5†Diffuser with OC-1 presents a compelling value proposition for pool and spa owners seeking enhanced filtration efficiency and cost savings.

Manufacturers description:
Certikin 1.5” Diffuser
Unlike traditional methods that use entrapment, OC-1 works through settlement and harnesses advances in pump technology and variable speed pumps/controllers. The new British manufactured filtration media has some exceptional benefits – by replacing commonly used media (such as sand and glass) with OC-1 it is possible to reduce the head loss in the filtration system; filter with a constant flow (regardless of debris entrapment) and, most remarkably, significantly reduce running energy costs whilst still filtering to the equivalent standard as it can be used with a smaller pump or a variable speed pump or controller.Why YOU should switch to OC-1-
Reduces energy consumption – OC-1 maintains constant flow rates, even when the media becomes dirty. No downtime is required for heating/salt chlorinators/heat pumps going out on low flow. The constant flow means pumps can be run at lower speeds, thus saving energy. –
Huge capacity for debris collection – OC-1 offers over 20 times the capacity of sand or glass. –
Reduced requirement for backwashing and a more efficient backwash – Reduces water consumption, chemical usage and heating. –
Lightweight – Can even be shipped inside a filter, easy to handle and super quick and easy to install. –
Less Maintenance – lasts longer than sand, reduces pressure in the system, extending the life of equipment. –
Filters to International swimming pool standards. –
Recyclable at end of product life. –
Payback typically 12-18 months.
