Filtration in hot tubs
DPS:
An added benefit Marquis Filtration has is that while filtering they are flowing 60 to 80 gallons every minute through the filters and the safety suction fittings at the floor. The flow throught the suction fittings at the floor goes through the filters with no bypass before the pump. With 60-80 gpm instead of the 4-8 gpm Marquis flowed when they had the 24 hr circ. pump they are able to skim the surface and remove debris from the footwell area, not just clean the middle of the spa over and over again (where does a spa actually get "dirty" ?- surface and floor). Also, now there are no problems with low gpm killing the heaters and circ pumps like the spas Marquis made 9 or 10 years ago with 24hr circ. pumps. With 20+ years now servicing spas I know how important that is. Homeowner's water maintenance gets blamed for these failures so warranties don't have to cover them.

I thought the way it worked was that some of the suction fittings are tied directly to teh fitlers and some bypass them. Now I'm confused, maybe Marquis has a unique system that I'm not familiar with.

Yeah, they do!

Kudos to Marquis for taking the circ pumps out of their spas.
We all know the only true application a circ pump has, and it ain't in no spa!
;D ;D ;D
