Model Toploader Ego3 No.5 - our all-rounder for filters in the round shaft

Ego3 Filter für Perfect Spas, Fonteyn, Arrigato

TOPLOADER (EGo3 Filter 5): A filter model replaces dozens of different cartridge filters.

There are many Whirlpool manufacturers that install hot tub filter in a round shaft. These come in various designs. However, they almost always have one thing in common: the shaft has a diameter of 150mm. And we at Ego3 have utilized this commonality to cover all these cartridge filter variants with just one filter.

This made the Toploader model our BESTSELLING HOT TUB FILTER with more than 10,000 units in use!

These are the different old versions of your previous system:

1) in the round shaft with 2 floating rings as skimmers above

2) in the round shaft with a floating pipe as a skimmer

3) in the round shaft with a hat-shaped upper closure

INSTRUCTION: How do I proceed when switching from cartridge filter to top loader?

  • Remove all previous parts! Note that some versions have a closing ring at the top of the shaft (e.g., image in variant 2), which reduces the diameter at the top. This also needs to be removed.
  • Fill the toploader with 12-14 filter balls.
  • Carefully and slowly slide the top loader into the shaft during the first use. There are 3 felt gliders around the circumference of the top loader. These must stay nicely in position. They ensure that the filter does not float later and remains in position. The felt gliders now adapt precisely to the distance between the filter and the shaft. 
  • Slide the top loader into the shaft until the lid of the top loader rests on the upper edge of the shaft. This prevents the filter from being pulled further into the shaft and keeps it in position.
  • That’s it, you’re done.

Whirlpool Guru Tips

The skimmer function is still present, as the top loader creates a vortex at one of the inlets and thus also draws from the surface.
Since the Ego3 forms the new closure, there is a color selection. Choose from 4 colors of the lid (white, light gray, anthracite, or black).
If you have variant 3 as the starting situation, in some models you can reattach the "little hat."
"You no longer need any of the other old parts. A coarse pre-screen is no longer necessary."

Why does the top loader work so excellently?

  • "It filters the entire diameter vertically. Dirt cannot settle anywhere in the shaft and contaminate it."
  • Changing and cleaning is extremely quick.
  • The entire 3D filter material is always used.

Functional principle

When can I not use the toploader?

VARIANT 1 is the correct one. The shaft is straight and has a diameter of 150mm.

  1. If the shaft is larger than 150mm! OPTION 2 - then you need an EGo3 Filter with thread
  2. "If the shaft is not always 150mm, but suddenly becomes smaller in the middle! VARIANT 3 - then unfortunately we do not have an Ego3 filter!"
