Highlights:
• Dirt Indicator
• Large amount of water flow
• Dirt drain at filter bottom for coarse dirt
• Temperate display for measuring the actual water temperature
• Different filter materials (special filter sponge, Japan matting)
• Filter materials are simply pressed out by means of a shoving-system
Our SunSun bio pond filter is suitable for garden ponds up to 12000 litres.
With a pond filter capacity of approx. 60 litres, distributed throughout 1 chambers, it ensures a reliable of the water with minimum effort. The Filter is equipped with 2 coarse filter, 2 fine filters and 1 Japan-filter mat.
The pond filter is positioned at the banks of the pond and connected with a suitable pond pump (not included in the delivery, check the max. flow rate) in the water.
Measurements:
Measurements – distance to inlet, measured from bottom to the hole centre – 30,5 cm
Measurements – distance to outlet, measured from bottom to the hole centre – 26 cm
Fundamental Functionality:
Pond filter combine the mechanical and biological cleaning. Microorganisms settle on the filter material and remove germs and bacteria from the water. By mechanical filtering, suspended particles and dirt remain in the pond filter and by this means no longer return to the pond water.
It takes about 4–6 weeks, until Filter Bacteria have sufficiently colonized the bio pond filter. Only thereafter t is advisable to switch on a UVC Pond Clarifier. Starter bacteria help to shorten the start-up phase of a new filter. Starter bacteria refer to microorganisms especially grown in a laboratory. By adding them, you can shorten the start-up phase considerably. Bacteria are active above a temperature of approximately 10–12 °C, the pond filters temperature should exceed 40 °C. So the pond filter should be placed in the shadow and not be exposed to direct sunlight.
UVC-pond clarifiers irradiate the water in a flow-through reactor with UV rays. The UV-C radiation destroys the swimmig algae. The algae agglutinate to large particles and ca be easily removed by means of mechanical filtering.
Our UVC clarifiers modify the tertiary and the quaternary structure of the algae proteins by means of UV-radiation. This means the destructions of the algae which can be removed from the water by pond filters.
