Pond filter DEKOR 5.000L

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
DEKOR is an external water filter designed for use in various types of external water tanks. In addition to water treatment, the filter will decorate your garden. The pockets on the filter lid are intended for pots with ornamental plants. The filter can be placed on the bank of a garden pond or over a waterfall spring. DEKOR filters are recommended for water tanks with a capacity of up to 5 000 litres. We recommend the AQUAEL AQUAJET PFN 3500 pump for use with these filters.

Contents of the standard package:
The DEKOR filter is delivered with carefully selected filter media. The brushes intercept relatively large solid impurities such as leaves or plant pieces. The coconut mat and two layers of sponge profile capture smaller solid impurities such as mud or sludge. In turn, the bio-balls provide a substrate for bacteria that remove nitrogen compounds dissolved in water, adding biological filtration to mechanical filtration.

The filter media are arranged in layers. The brushes are ideal for water pretreatment or mechanical filtration. At the same time, they provide an excellent substrate for the growth of live bacterial cultures.

The next stage of mechanical filtration is carried out by the phenol-free sponge. In addition, the sponge is a particularly favourable environment for the growth of bacterial cultures responsible for the removal of biological contaminants from the tank.

Thanks to its structure, coconut mattress is an excellent mechanical filtration medium and an excellent substrate for the bacterial cultures responsible for biological filtration.

Polystyrene balls have ribs and small openings at both poles. Their action is based on the modulation of aerobic conditions for biochemical processes. On their outer surface, the aerobic conditions are favourable for the oxidation of organic compounds. The inner surface acts as an anaerobic micro-reactor where the reduction of organic compounds takes place. All this leads to very effective water purification, so the water in the lake maintains the appropriate biological parameters and clarity.

Function
Before activating the filter, remove the top cover, soak the sponge with water and squeeze the air bubbles from the sponge. Place the pump in the pond and use a hose to connect the pump to the inlet port at the top of the filter. Through this port, water is fed into the filter, where it passes through successive layers of filter media.

After the water reaches the outlet ports at the bottom of the filter, it flows back into the pond through the pipes connected to the ports. If the filter is located above a waterfall, one of the outlet ports at the bottom can be used to form the waterfall or a cascade.

Before performing any maintenance work on the filter or pump (e.g. cleaning), disconnect the pump and all other electrical appliances in the water from the mains.

The DEKOR filter and pump are designed for 24/7 operation. Shortly after the filter is activated, the water quality will improve noticeably.
