AQUABIOME
Aquabiome has been engineered specifically for ponds and water gardens. Aquabiome provides
mechanical and biological filtration in a single housing.
Its ability to support dense populations of nitrifying bacteria, its reliability and easy maintenance,
makes Aquabiome especially suitable for high density recirculation systems.
Effective
Excellent Nitrification and Mechanical filtration
Efficient
Hydraulically efficient filter design, balanced slotted laterals to maximize water flow and filtration.
Durable
Corrosion resistant and UV stabilised for outdoor installation.
Air-Backwash
Air assisted hydraulic backwash, saving time and water.
Superior Quality
Aquabiome fibreglass filters embody the latest in fibreglass winding technology.
Filtering Pond Water
To maintain good water clarity and a safe environment for fish, the pond water requires a combination
of the following features:
1. Mechanical Filtration
2. Biological filtration
3. U.V. Sterilisation
4. Good circulation
5. Aeration
In simple terms, the ‘mechanical filtration’ is basically straining the water, separating the solids
from the liquid. The solid matter in a pond is usually made up from different forms of debris, which
maybe found at any level in the water. The presence of these solids and suspended particles will
make the pond water appear murky or cloudy, making it difficult for visual inspection of the fish.
The water clarity may not necessarily be a problem to the fish, provided the debris and suspended
solids are of a non-harmful nature.
