Filtration in hot tubs
DPS:
As far as the filter bypass goes, Marquis single pump models have zero bypass. Everything goes through the filters - period. On two pump models, the primary pump still has zero bypass. It is still filtering with no by pass when the jets are on high speed. The second pump does by pass the filters. On high speed in a Marquis Spa you still have 120gpm or 160gpm being filtered with absolutely no by pass when the jets are on high speed (120gpm on 120v convertible models and 160gpm on 220v models).

OK, that's how I figured. I thought they were doing something different that I was unaware of.
shabba34:
Hey DPS,
What sq ft are the filters on the spas? 50 a piece?
MarKee:
50 sq ft or 35 sq ft. Both are available. They now come from the factory with 35 sq. ft.
Bonibelle:
So Markee are you saying that my Epic probably has the 35 sq ft filters but when I buy new ones I can go with the 50? With more square feet of filter area does that mean you can go longer between cleaning? Or are the filters rated for the volume in the tubs, or number of pumps or what? :-/
