1983, France: Desjoyaux – Pipeless Filtration Unit

In 1983, Desjoyaux patented the pipeless filtration unit, a revolutionary product at that time and even presently.   It does not require any pump room; and special options like cross current and hydrotherapy systems can be added.  Inspired by outboard engines, the exclusive Desjoyaux filtration system adopts the concept of a standalone unit, and thus eliminates the need for a costly underground pipe system, balancing tank, and external pump. When installed, the unit can either: straddle the pool wall, be integrated into the structure, or be disguised in the form of a staircase.

 

  1. Straddle the pool wall – Surface Mounted Units

Surface-mounted units are the most emblematic of Desjoyaux’s filtration systems over the years.  It has been wildly successful due to its efficiency, practicality, and innovative yet simple design.

  1. Integrated into the structure – Filtration Units

Integrated filtration units offer an all-in-one solution that can be installed into the pool structure.

  1. Disguised in the form of a staircase – Jet Set Filtering Stairs

Jet Set filtering stairs are the ultimate luxury among our filtration units.  It is a filtration system with spa options.  It is cleverly designed to integrate spa-style hydrotherapy into the unit.

Desjoyaux’s filtration unit  features a submerged filtration compartment that also houses the spotlights and a technical compartment and is built onto the pool deck.  Options like cross current swimming and pool heating are also available.

The advantages of the Desjoyaux filtration system are:

  • Quick and high filtration, resulting in exceptional water quality;
    • Renewed water in the pool every 2 hours, compared with the usual average of 6 hours;
    • Pipe-less – zero chance of underground pipe leakage and reduced electricity consumption;
    • Quick installation with no pump room thereby saving space;
    • Proven effectiveness and runs silently;
    • Easy maintenance because of easy accessibility;
    • Simple winterisation procedure;
    • Decreased pressure losses;
    • Reduced after-sales service;
    • Easy servicing;
    • Easily fitted for all types of new and renovated pools;
    • Built-in spotlights;
    • Corrosion-proof material.

The filter bag that fits into the Desjoyaux filtration unit is patented by Desjoyaux.

The filter bag is very tough and inexpensive to maintain, and comes with high filtration power.  The filter bag functions by using partial vacuum in the Desjoyaux filtration unit. The filter bag has very fine filtration power- 6 to 30 microns, compared with 8 microns for bottled mineral water. The filter bag is easy to use and easy to clean by either using a hose or by washing at 30°C in a washing machine.
