Filtration Cleaning using HydrobreakÒ 2000

A very common problem in the leisure industry today is that of inefficient filtration. This is generally caused be fat and grease build up in the filtration media.

A prolonged build up of fat and grease will lead to channelling where the filter eventually fails to clean the water passing through. This is due to the fact that a channel is formed and the water will pass straight through.

HydrobreakÒ 2000 has been proven to remove the fat and grease build up thus ensuring an efficient filtration system. 

To remove the fat and grease from the filter using HydrobreakÒ 200 it is first of all important to isolate the filter unit.

HydrobreakÒ 2000 should then be added to the system at the rate of 5 litres per ton of filter media along with 25 litres of hot water. This mix should then be circulated around the filter for approximately three to four hours. After this period of time the unit should be flushed out to the drain until such times as there is no foam left. A noticeable difference should now be expected in the pressure differential between inlet and outlet valves. If the unit has not been cleaned out for a long period it may be necessary to repeat the application again.

In the case of smaller filtration units where the filter can be removed, it should be placed in a solution of hot water and HydrobreakÒ 2000 mix, with HydrobreakÒ 200 being added at the rate of 10% to the solution. The filter unit should be allowed to stand for a period of one to two hours then rinsed thoroughly using hot clean water.
