Compact Filtration Systems with EcoStar & EcoMax
(Picture shows Ecomax filter w/ waterfall, being fed water via pump)
1) Water enters the unit and passes close to and all around a UV-lamp, separated from it by a quartz sleeve.
2) Water leaves the UV chamber via a unique spray head, which aerates the water and diverts it over all parts of the foam.
3) Solid particles in the water are trapped in a foam sheet.
4) Almost solids free, the water passes through plastic biomedia where beneficial bacteria cleanse pollutants.
5) Clear healthy water then passes up an outlet tube and back into the pond. Should the water stop flowing the tank will stay full so the bacteria will live longer.
6) Integral carry handles are positioned on the side of the filter to make the filter easy to lift if maintenance is required.
7) Viewing hatch to observe the internal operation of the filter, in particular whether any maintenance is needed.
1) Water enters the unit and passes close to a UV lamp, separated from it by a quartz sleeve. The UV light makes algae clump together so it can be caught by the foam.
2) In-built 'turbulator' - the flow of the water through the UVC, created by the product design, increases the unit's efficiency by even exposure of the water to the UV light and eliminates the possibility of air locks.
3) Water leaves the UV chamber via a venturi, which aerates the water for a high oxygen content. The venturi's position in the filter is very important - the water is oxygenated before it enters the biomedia, which significantly increases the effectiveness and activity of beneficial bacteria. This results in a highly efficient breakdown of harmful pollutants in the water.
4) The water passes through plastic biomedia where beneficial bacteria cleanse pollutants. The amount of biomedia contained in the filter has been scientifically measured and tested to ensure optimum biological filtration performance and increases in direct proportion to the size of filter/pond to support a greater number of fish.
5) A fine layer of foam traps any remaining solid particles as the water passes up through it (two foam sheets in the Ecomax 2000, medium and fine grade).
6) Clear healthy water then passes back into the pond (via two outlets on the Ecomax 2000).
7) A drain is built in to flush out sludge, which collects at the bottom of the filter. The floor of the filter is sloped so sludge collects around the drain for easy removal. As an accessory, a tap can be fitted to control the sludge draining process.
8) Integral carry handles are positioned on the side of the filter to make the filter easy to lift if maintenance is required.
9) Viewing hatch to observe the internal operation of the filter, in particular whether any maintenance is needed. |

The
Ecostar and Ecomax gravity pond filters combine mechanical, biological and
UV-filtration in one compact unit to guarantee clear and healthy pond water.
Unlike other filters, Ecostar and Ecomax water is fed not pressurized from the
filter directly back into the pond. The correctly sized compact filtration
package will guarantee clearwater.
