Biodrum Gravity Trickle

BIODRUM GRAVITY TRICKLE

After developing the Biodrum Rotator, MPF has developed another innovative design for the pond market. The Biodrum Gravity Trickle!

A combination of a drum filter as a pre-filter with a trickle/bakki shower filter behind it, which can be set up in gravity.

The unique concept of the Biodrum Gravity Trickle is the gravity setup. All trickle filters must be installed above water level, which is often an aesthetic issue.

The water flows onto the upper drip tray by means of a water level controller. As a result, the water is optimally distributed on the underlying material. This water level controller ensures that the water level remains constant regardless of the performance of the pond pump. This construction creates the best pre-filtration through the drum and the best biological cleaning through the trickle filters. The water breaks continuously and at high speed, which means that the oxygen uptake in the water is enormous. This leads to a continuous outgassing of ammonium and CO2. And so the Biodrum Gravity Trickle produces better water quality and healthy koi.

You can determine the biological media in the trickling section yourself. We prefer Crystal Bio. Crystal Bio consists of a glass substance. It has an exceptional porous structure made from lightweight ceramic. Due to its porous structure, Crystal Bio has an exceptionally large surface of approx. 18000 m2/m3 Crystal Bio itself is a stone-like material with KH buffer properties.
