How the filtration works
A: Inlet
Dirty water from the pond pump
(not included) passes via a hose through
the inlet into filter.
B: Vortex system
Under the action of gravity, suspended
solids and mud are separated.
C: Mechanical filter
When the water passes through the filter
sponges into the internal chamber,
dirt particles will be caught on the first
part of the surface of the sponges.
D: Biological filtration
The pores of the filter sponge creates a large inner surface which
microorganisms can colonize .The yellow and blue filter sponges differ
in size and density. This creates zones in which the water can flow at
different speeds. Zones with a high flow speed (blue filter sponges) allow
the colonization of microorganisms which convert ammonium to nitrate via
nitrite (nitrification) . Zones with a low flow speed (yellow sponges) support
the colonization of anaerobic micro-organisms which reduce nitrate to
nitrogen (denitrification) .
E: UV-C radiation for clear water
Water is finally passing by a special UV-C lamp, covered by a quartz-sleeve in
a stainless tube, exposing the water to UV-C radiation and sterilising algae.
F: Water outlet
At the water outlet, the clarified water is fed back into the garden pond via a
hose, watercourse or stream.
G: Waste water outlet
During the cleaning process the dirty water is separated and passes through
the drain outlet. This can be used to fertilize your garden plants.
H: Rotating cleaning shaft for automatic cleaning
The filter sponges are compressed and scratched on the surface removing
dirt and old bacteria. At the same time waterflow is reversed by the cleaning
valve (behind A+F) removing the dirt via the outlet G.
I : Control panel
Led indicators and touch buttons for manual operation and Wi-Fi setup.
