Sweep Elbow for Swimming Pool Water Efficiency from Waterco

Superior water flow a benefit of Waterco's 50mm Sweep Elbow
Smart PVC pipe design dramatically improves water efficiency

Proving simplicity is often the best policy when it comes to efficiency, Waterco's 50mm PVC Sweep Elbow features a long radius that results in superior water flow.

"This is the perfect solution to improving a pool's hydraulic efficiency, particularly when using energy efficient pumps," says George Flory, Waterco's Domestic Water Care Product Manager.

Research comparing the 50mm PVC Sweep Elbow to traditional 90° elbows shows a marked difference in water flow and head loss.

"If a pool filtration plumbing system used 10 x 50mm PVC sweep elbows in place of 90° elbows, this would reduce the overall system head loss by 1.5m and improving the pool's hydraulic efficiency," adds Flory.

"Plus by improving the hydraulic efficiency, it enables a multispeed or variable speed pump to operate at a lower speed without sacrificing flow rate through the pool's filtration circuit or reducing the pool's turnover rate."
