Nothing is better than actually removing problematic metals, from the water, and that is what the METALTRAP Filter does!

The METALTRAP utilizes a new filtration media, that chemically reacts with metals, such as iron, copper & manganese and permanently removes them from the water.  These unique, patent-pending units selectively filter out  stain-causing metals and helps protect your pool or spa from unsightly rusty, tan, brown, green, black or gray stains.  Removes metals that pass through ordinary filters.

The METALTRAP Filter, PURESTART Pre-Filter and the METALTRAP 1 Micron Pre-Filter are all ideal for Spa use.  Spas are typically drained and refilled every 3 months, to avoid the buildup of byproducts and organic materials.  A unit suited for a 10,000 gallon pool, can be used to refill a typical spa, 20 or more times, depending upon the actual metal content.  The savings in treatment chemicals will more than make this a worthwhile investment and help provide better water quality, as well.

• Units are available in 3 sizes to process up to 10,000, 25,000 or 50,000 gallons of water, depending of the level of contamination and the size of your pool or spa.  The gallonage ratings are based on a total metals content of 1 PPM.  Higher metals levels will require larger or additional METALTRAP Filters.  With 1 PPM or less of total metals, recirculate at 8-10 gallons a minute.  With 1-2 PPM of total metals, recirculate at 4-5 gallons a minute.  Proportionally adjust for higher metals levels, both in terms of flow rate and METALTRAP gallonage rating.
• The 10,000 gallon size unit can be used to refill a typical spa about 20 times or more.
• Use to fill a new pool or spa or to recirculate water to remove metals from a problem pool or spa.
• To fill a new pool or spa, just attach to a garden hose.
• Flow is typically 5-7 gallons a minute and is adjustable, depending on source water quality.
• An absolute must for pool or spas that use well water.
• Helps eliminate sulfur odors.
• Use it to process the water added to plaster mixes, to reduce staining possibilities.
• Helps your existing filter maintain a better looking and stain free pool or spa.
• Use on all new water additions to help assure no problematic minerals are added.
• Recirculate seasonally to help assure better water quality.
• Stain removal can be tedious and expensive:  the METALTRAP Filter helps you avoid those problems.
• No Installation!!!  Simply attach to a garden hose.

The METALTRAP Filter . . . physically removes dissolved heavy metals!
 

Even the best quality water has inorganic and organic micro-contaminants that are too small to see and too small for a pool filter to remove.  The most efficient pool or spa filter can only remove particles of 3-5 microns or larger.  The METALTRAP 1 Micron Pre-Filter can remove particles down to 1 micron in size:  undissolved minerals, hair, body oils, cosmetic residues, skin, blood cell, dirt, silt, sediment, oxidized metal and even some types of viruses, bacteria and algae.  A unit suited for a 10,000 gallon pool, can be used to refill a typical spa, 20 or more times.

• Units are available for a variety of pool and spa sizes and applications.

• Pool size treats up to 20,000 gallons of water and is 20" (50.8 cm.) in length.

• Spa size can also be used with smaller pools, treats up to 10,000 gallons and is 10" (25.4 cm.) in length.

• No installation is required!!!  Simply attach to a garden hose. 

• Get better quality water and reduce chemical costs. 

• Removes oxidized metals such as copper, iron and manganese.

• Preventing problems saves on chemical treatment, time and effort.

The METALTRAP 1 Micron Pre-Filter . . . removes even ultra-fine particles!
 

While this system was designed for pools with auto-fillers (auto-levelers), it can be used with any pool, with water being added on an as-needed basis.   Only the 1" line model is solely designed for permanent installation.  All other sizes are able to deliver water to the pool, using a standard garden hose, and do not require an auto-filler. 

Pictured to the left above is the Dual-Filter unit.  The blue parts are the cartridge housings.  To the left and right are the replaceable filter cartridges.

• METALTRAP Dual-Filter System 6:  treats up to 12,000 gallons of water.  Available in pipe sizes, in and out, of 1/2" or 3/4".

• METALTRAP Dual-Filter System 14:  treats up to 28,000 gallons of water.  Available in pipe sizes, in and out, of 3/4" or 1.0".

• Replacement cartridges are available for metals removal:  MT-RC-6 or MT-RC-14

• Replacement cartridges are available for sediment & bacteria removal:  RBF-RC-6 or RBF-RC-14.

• 1" model is designed to be permanently plumbed into the water line, that leads to the pool auto-filler.

• All other models can be used with or without an auto-filler.

• Adaptor, for hose connection, is included.

The METALTRAP Dual-Filter System . . . turns poor quality water into beautiful.
 

The PURESTART Pre-Filter removes of host of organic contaminants, such as harmful chemicals, tannic acid, chemical discoloration, trace levels of pharmaceuticals, fertilizers, insecticides, wastes and degraded plant & animal  byproducts:  things that ordinary filters may be unable to remove.  These unique pre-filtering units will help you get quality water, by simply attaching to a garden hose, as the pool or spa is filled.  A unit suited for a 10,000 gallon pool, can be used to refill a typical spa, 20 or more times.

• Units are available in 3 sizes to process up to 10,000 25,000 or 50,000 gallons of water, depending of the level of contamination and the size of your pool or spa.

• The 10,000 gallon size unit can be used to pre-filter and fill a typical spa about 20 times or more.

• Use to fill a new pool or spa or to recirculate water to remove organic contaminants from a problem pool or spa.

• To fill a new pool or spa, just attach to a garden hose, to remove contaminants as water is added.

• Flow is typically 5-7 gallons a minute and is adjustable, depending on source water quality.  Heavier contamination levels require slower flow rates:  just turn the valve to increase media contact time.

• An absolute must for pool or spas that use well water or some municipal water supplies.

Removes phosphates, iron, copper, manganese and silver.

Draining a pool is not always a safe option.  Drought restrictions have to be considered.  POOL REFRESH is a new patent-pending technology, that refreshes existing pool or spa water, back to the quality of new water.  There is no need to drain the water or refill an existing pool or spa.  This unique 2-part system, is simply added to the skimmer, with the filter running and precipitates most accumulated chemicals and impurities.  Afterwards, it is either vacuumed or filtered out of the pool or spa.  After the filter has been cleaned, the water will be refreshed, just like new.  POOL REFRESH reacts with and removes stain-causing metals, such as iron, copper, manganese and silver.  Also, removed are phosphates which can promote algae growth, undissolved minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, which can cause scaling and cloudy water and other unwanted salts, sediments and impurities.  One-quart of each product treats up to 10,000 gallons of water.  Spas can use proportionally smaller amounts.

1. Add muriatic acid to lower the pH to 7.0 - 7.2

2. Keep the filter running, for at least several hours, to make sure the pH is uniform.

3. Slowly add 1-quart of POOL REFRESH Part A, through the skimmer, with filter running.  1-quart, per 10,000 gallons should be added.  Take 5-1o minute per bottle, to add the product.

4. Add 1-quart of muriatic acid, for each quart of POOL REFRESH Part A added.  Allow the filter to run for 1 -2 hours.

5. Turn the filter off, to allow the settling action to begin, wait at least 1-2 hours. before proceeding further.

6. You'll need 1-quart of POOL REFRESH Part B, for each 10,000 gallons of pool water.  Resume filtering.  Mix each quart of Part B with 3 parts of pool water and slowly pour in front of an operating return jet, to aid in dispersion.

7. Operate pump for about 1-2 hours and shut off.  This allows the precipitation and removal process to begin.  The following day, vacuum the sediment to waste.  Using a METALTRAP Filter will help you avoid re-introducing the metals that caused the problem. 

8. For the next few days, vacuum (not to waste) up any precipitated precipitated minerals and/or allow the filter to remove and suspended debris.  If you have a sand of cartridge filter, add a filter aid to improve performance.  If you have a D.E. filter, no filter aid is required.

9. Monitor the filter pressure.  If it rises too high, backwash or clean the filter, depending on filter type.  If filter aid was used, reapply.  Depending up the nature of your mineral problem, the filter may have to be serviced several times.  Monitor the pressure will help gauge the progress.  The unwanted and potentially problematic minerals are what is being vacuumed away and filtered out.  What's left is refreshed and better quality water!

10. Test the water for the iron, copper and/or manganese, to make sure the levels have been lowered.  If Liquid METALTRAP was used previously, the chelated and now harmless metals, may register on a water test.  In either case, add a quart of Liquid METALTRAP, per 10,000 gallons of pool water, to scavenge up and residual metals.  Add another dose each spring and always use a METALTRAP Filter, when adding new water.

11. At this point, you should be good to go and can resume normal pool chemistry and filtration.

Get and keep your pool or spa refreshed . . . like it should be!
