Bio Reactor Filter
This 3
chamber filter provides complete koi pond filtration in one unit.
The first chamber captures solids in the settling tank. The water
moves cross flow through the settling tank and then through a baffle
system of coarse Black Matala media. Very few solids pass through this
mechanical filter stage. The V bottom is sloped for easy flush out of
solid waste.
The second chamber acts as a mechanical / biological stage. Further
small particles are removed and the bacteria whichs grows here will be
primarily heterotrophic type. This means the bacteria will be
digesting mostly dissolved organic matter derived from the solid waste
in Chamber 1. This is an upflow chamber which allows for further
settling of solids, thus preventing the medium coarse Green and Blue
Matala from clogging. A 2 inch layer of open cell foam on top captures
fine floc particles. and helps polish the water. The V bottom is
sloped for easy flushing of waste particles and the organic floc which
has been produced by the bacteria.
Chamber 3 is also an upflow chamber and acts as a pure biological
filter. The water passes through the fine filtration of Blue Matala
and Gray Matala. Another 2 inch layer of open cell foam is provided
for fine polishing and floc capture. Since no appreciable solids reach
this chamber, the bactteria growing here will be mostly autotrophic
types. Thes types of bacteria function to digest the dissolve
inorganic waste produced by the bacteria in chamber 2. This chamber
rarely gets dirty and will become an extremely efficient biofiter.
Each chamber has a bottom drain valve for flushing waste. For in the
ground, gravity fed installations, all chambers are drained to chamber
#1 where an Matala Semi Vortex 1/2 hp Pump (not included) can pump
solid waste to the sewer.
This combination of all 3 chambers will provide you with complete koi
pond filtration. Each chamber functions in a synergistic manner
complementing each other as a true bio reactor. Your pond water
quality will reach a level of stability where koi health is supported
even under heavy populations and heavy feeding, as it should be. This
type of filtration is not feasible or attainable in a pressurized type
filter system.
The system is complete and includes:
* Heavy duty fiberglass construction 3 chamber tank.
* 24 cubic feet of Matala media.
* 2 layers of 2 inch thick open cell foam for floc removal and fine
polishing of water.
* Drain valves, all inlet and outlet fittings.
* Lid.
* Each tank is custom built to your pond specifics regarding pipe size
and locations. 4" pipe, 3" pipe, 2" pipe and 1.5" pipe sizes all
available per order.
* The system can be built as a gravity fed system or a pump fed
system.
Note: Bio
Reactor Filters ship oversize via ground frieght.
