Mechanical Filters
|
Myrtle Says:
A mechanical filter is an external filter unit that (you guessed it) filters water mechanically (rather than naturally/biologically). Common types of mechanical filters are sand, cartridge and fluid bead filters. Each have their own advantages and applications in the world of ponds and natural pools, and often make great additions to hefty (built-in) biological filtration systems. |

Aqua UV Ultima II 1,000 Pond Filter - 1 1/2" Valve
To support aquatic life whether in an aquaculture facility, backyard pond or large aquarium system, it is essential to remove both ammonia and accumulated debris. The most efficient way to accomplish this is by installing the Aqua UV Ultima II 1,000 Pond Filter. The patented media has the highest biofilm surface for bacterial growth. The beneficial bacteria convert ammonia into harmless compounds. In field and independent laboratory testing the Ultima II filter with its patented media is the first to nitrify fish waste. This model is idea for pond ranging from 500 to 1,000 gallons.
The dense bed of ridged media traps solids without clumping. Internal jets in the filter are activated during the backwash separating the waste from the media and sending it out the waste line. Backwash is performed simply by rotating the valve.
