Here Are Ten Reasons To Specify The "New & Improved" Compak:
AIR SCOUR
The new Compak features an independent air scour distribution system separate from the underdrain header and laterals, allowing air scour to run concurrently with water backwash, reducing water usage.
MEDIA BED
There are no obstructions or penetrations in the media bed, preventing the possibility of channeling and providing much more efficient use of media.
SURGE CAPACITY
The redesigned media bed allows for a lower profile, creating more space above for surge capacity. An extra foot has also been added to the standard tank depth (now 8') for the same reason.
BACKWASH TROUGH
The backwash trough has been relocated from the end of the tank to the center for more efficient backwashing.
INTEGRAL BACKWASH PIT
The backwash pit, usually formed in the equipment room floor, is now integrated into the tank to increase available space in the room and to facilitate coordination of responsibility between the pool builder and general contractor.
PLUMBING CONNECTIONS
Influent and effluent connections, along with return and backwash connections, are vertically oriented in the side of the tank for easier plumbing to and from the filter. V-grooves are integral to the tank on either side of the connections for structural strength.
WATER LEVEL CONTROL
A single 3-way ultrasonic level switch draws the water level down for backwash, actuates a low water level shut-off, and has a relay for automatic water level control.
FLOOR SPACE
All components (pump, valves, blower, compressor) are located below the grating to eliminate trip hazards above the filter at floor level. Only the fill spout and backwash line (6" air gap required) extend above the horizontal surface of the filter.
CORROSION RESISTANCE
The tank walls are 316L stainless steel, and valves are PVC with 316L stainless steel components.
MANUAL
The Compak is manually operated.
