How the Desjoyaux Filtration System Works – And Why It’s Better Than Traditional Pool Filtration

Efficient! A Desjoyaux filtration system can filter all your pool’s water in ONLY TWO HOURS for an 8 x 4 m pool.

When it comes to swimming pools, the filtration system is the heart of the operation. Clean, clear, and healthy water depends on how effectively your pool can filter out dirt, debris, and impurities. Traditional pool filtration systems rely on underground pipework, skimmers, and pumps to circulate water into a filtration unit before returning it back into the pool. While this setup works, it comes with drawbacks: high energy use, risk of leaks, costly maintenance, and complicated installation, not to mention the volume of wasted water every week that needs to be replaced when backwashing and cleaning out the filter.

Desjoyaux Pools have revolutionised pool technology with a unique patented piped-free filtration system, designed to simplify pool ownership while improving efficiency and sustainability.

How the Desjoyaux Filtration System Works

Unlike traditional systems, the Desjoyaux system does not require underground pipework or external plant rooms. Instead, the entire system integrated within the pool structural system. Here’s how it operates:

1. Water Intake – Surface water enters directly into the filtration unit through a built-in skimmer.
2. Filtration Bags – The water passes through high-performance filter bags capable of capturing particles as small as 6 to 30 microns. These bags are easily removed, cleaned, and reused.
3. Pumping System – The integrated pump circulates the clean water directly back into the pool via return jets, creating a continuous cycle of circulation and filtration of the entire pool.

Why It’s Better Than Traditional Filtration

No Underground Pipework – Traditional pools rely on metres of underground pipes that can crack, leak, or clog over time, leading to expensive repairs. The Desjoyaux system eliminates pipework entirely, removing this risk.

Quick and Simple Installation – Because the systems are fully integrated within the pool, there’s no need for a dedicated plant room or complex plumbing. This speeds up installation, reduces costs, and makes it possible to build a pool in as little as 18 working days.

Low Maintenance – Filter bags are washable and reusable, saving you from constantly replacing costly cartridges or sand media. Maintenance is quick, simple, and cost-effective.

Energy Efficiency – With fewer components and shorter circulation paths, the pump doesn’t need to work as hard, reducing energy consumption. This makes running costs lower and more sustainable in the long run.

Durability and Longevity – By eliminating underground pipes and complex fittings, the risk of leaks or breakdowns is greatly reduced. This extends the lifespan of your pool system and gives you peace of mind.

Environmental Benefits – Less water is wasted compared to traditional backwashing systems, and the reusability of filter bags reduces waste, making Desjoyaux one of the most eco-friendly pool systems available today.

The Smarter Choice for Modern Pools

Desjoyaux’s patented filtration technology is a game-changer in the swimming pool industry. By removing the complications of traditional filtration systems, it offers homeowners a simpler, cleaner, and more reliable way to maintain their pool.

Whether you’re planning a new pool or upgrading an existing one, choosing Desjoyaux means lower running costs, less hassle, and crystal-clear water – all with an environmentally friendly system that’s built to last.
