Small Helix Bio-Mechanical Reactor - Premium Complete Pond Filtration

Description

The Helix Bio-Mechanical Reactor is like no other standalone filter you have ever seen! It is revolutionary in its combined ease of use (No maintenance) and incredible effectiveness. This filter addresses biological filtration
and
mechanical filtration, which can handle all aspects of pond filtration -- even in ponds with very high fish populations. This filter uses a lava rock (or similar media) for significant mechanical filtration; it uses dynamically-aerated, highly-porous biological media for highly effective biological filtration. This allows beneficial bacteria to thrive and break down ammonia, nitrate, and nitrites FAST!
FEATURES of the Bio-Mechanical Reactor:
Self-cleaning backflush feature for mechanical filter media
Biological media can convert the digested waste for 3lb of fish food each day!
Use with an air pump (Not included) for increased dissolved oxygen levels
Heavy-duty rotomolded HDPE construction is easy to hide in the landscape
Stainless steel hardware and high quality plumbing parts extend the filter life
Includes 5" radial air diffuser, 2" inlet bulkhead, and 2" suction strainer at inlet
Includes (2) check valves and separator screen for optimum flow
Includes 3/4" outlet bulkhead and (2) knife valves to open drains for cleaning

NOTE:
Compare the Helix Bio-Mechanical Reactor to the Moving Bed Waterfall Filter. They are related filters with one significant difference: the Moving Bed is 100% biological, with no particle or mechanical filtration at all. It is also virtually maintenance-free, but it is
not
a stand-alone filter. Every pond needs some form of filtration that traps or removes particulates. That is where the Bio-Mechanical Reactor takes over. In addition to significant aeration-assisted biological filtration, it has mechanical filtration (and therefore requires flushing out trapped particulates).
For best results, use the Bio-Mechanical Reactor wherever total filtration is needed. This filter, coupled with a skimmer, will provide everything you need for high-quality pond filtration with reasonable regular maintenance that is easily accessible outside the pond. For ponds that already have a bog, bead filter, undergravel filter grid or other mechanical filtration, the Moving Bed Waterfall Filter adds amazing biological capability without adding anything to your maintenance routine.
