Product Description
Biotec 5 and Biotec 10 represent a new type of Garden Pond
Filter with its multizone action.This ensures that not only are
nutrients decomposed, but substances that cloud the water are
filtered out. The complete system with the UVC also offers the
most effective method of combating Algae and Germs.
Spray Aeration:
The turbulence caused in the inlet nozzle ensures the pond
water entering the filter is rich in oxygen. Important for the
Biological Effectiveness.
Blue zone:
Coarse Particles are retained in the voluminous Blue Bio-
elements. The addition of oxygen leads to the growth of
Nitrosomonas bacteria converting the ammonia which is par-
ticularly harmful for fish into nitrite.
Bio Filter mats:
Interconnected structural elements with a very large surface
area, excellently suited to encourage the decomposition of
contaminants both aerobically (with oxygen) and anaerobically
(without oxygen). Harmful nitrite is decomposed.
Red zone:
Fine mechanical filtering and biological filtering under aerobic
conditions allow Nitrobacter bacteria in the red zone to break
down or oxidate the nitrite to nitrate. Nitrate can be absorbed
and broken down naturally by plants.
Denitrification zone:
The water low in oxygen causes micro-organisms to convert
surplus nitrate into free and harmless nitrogen.
Inner Body:
Made of environmentally sound polyethylene which can be
completely and easily removed for cleaning purposes.
Allowing fast and simple removal of the retained Biomass
from the Pond Filter.
Biotec Plus zone:
Slip-on baskets for holding various materials for increasing
and assisting the filter properties such as elimination of
phosphates, filter starter or other biologically acting
supplements.
