The Certikin 50mm Diffuser is a revolutionary product that introduces a new era of filtration technology. Unlike traditional methods that rely on entrapment, this innovative diffuser leverages the power of settlement and integrates seamlessly with the latest advancements in pump technology and variable speed pumps/controllers. Manufactured in Britain, this filtration media, known as OC-1, offers a myriad of exceptional benefits that set it apart from conventional media like sand and glass.
One of the key advantages of switching to OC-1 is its ability to reduce head loss in the filtration system. By using OC-1, you can filter with a constant flow, irrespective of debris entrapment, ensuring consistent and efficient filtration performance. Additionally, OC-1 is designed to significantly lower running energy costs, allowing you to achieve optimal filtration standards while using a smaller pump or a variable speed pump/controller.
So, why should you make the switch to OC-1? Firstly, OC-1 excels in reducing energy consumption by maintaining steady flow rates even as the media collects dirt. This eliminates the need for downtime related to heating, salt chlorinators, or heat pumps experiencing low flow, ultimately enabling you to run pumps at lower speeds and save energy.
Moreover, OC-1 boasts an impressive capacity for debris collection, offering over 20 times the collection capacity of traditional media like sand or glass. This extended debris collection capability not only enhances filtration efficiency but also minimizes the need for frequent backwashing, leading to reduced water consumption, chemical usage, and heating costs.
Another notable feature of OC-1 is its lightweight nature, which allows for easy handling and installation. This innovative media can even be shipped inside a filter, streamlining the installation process and making maintenance hassle-free. By choosing OC-1, you can benefit from reduced maintenance requirements, as it outlasts sand and helps decrease pressure in the system, thereby extending the lifespan of your equipment.
Furthermore, OC-1 is designed to filter water to international swimming pool standards, ensuring that your pool water remains clean and safe for use. At the end of its product life, OC-1 is recyclable, aligning with sustainable practices and minimizing environmental impact.
With a typical payback period of 12-18 months, investing in the Certikin 50mm Diffuser with OC-1 filtration media not only offers immediate benefits in terms of energy savings and efficient filtration but also contributes to long-term cost savings and equipment durability.

Manufacturers description:
Certikin 50Mm 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.
