Product Information |
This is the
next generation of filters and the best tool for Koi ponds. The Ultima
II is specifically engineered to meet the environmental demands of fish
ponds. The lightweight media is designed for very high flow rates.
The tubular
Bio-Media has low head loss and a very high biofilm surface. The “Y” shape
on the inside and wings on the outside afford a protective surface under
backwashing, and with our patented backwash system will keep the media
from clogging. The same properties have been added to this media in three
different sizes with random lengths and diameters to avoid stacking.
The Ultima
II tubular bio-media offers the highest surface area for growth of beneficial
bacteria. No other backwashable pressurized filter compares. Cleaning the
filter is done by internal jets. The Ultima II is also the ideal filter
for aquariums where very high flow rates are desired.
Patented
Bio-Media
Ultima II systems are packed with
ultra-high filtration bio-media that provides both mechanical and biological
filtration, ideal for aquariums and fish ponds. The advantage of the Ultima
II filter is it´s non-organic filter media with properties that encourage
bacteria growth. The disadvantage of conventional bead filters is they
have only a single-surface area which encourages a second layer of bacteria
to grow over the initial layer. The encapsulated bacteria underneath can
become anaerobic. This continuous cycle can pose problems. Research led
to three different types of media designed to grow and hold ammonia-oxidizing
bacteria and heterothropic bacteria. Just one cubic foot of these three
media has over two million tiny shapes. One cubic foot of Ultima II Media
is equal to 750 square feet of surface area. The Ultima II system is designed
to offer you exceptionally clear water, great for ponds and aquariums.
Cleaning is done by internal jet back-washing.
To ensure maximum
circulation through the filter, it is best to keep the hose short and the
pumping height to a minimum, especially on the discharge side of the filter.
