AquaForte Professional Drum Filter

Product Description

AquaForte Professional Drum Filter

Drum filters are not new in the (koi) pond scene but it has taken a while before we had one worthy of the name AquaForte! These drum filters comply the highest standards in use, material quality and safety. A big advantage of these drum filters is the fully open inlet of the drum on the collection chamber side. This enables manual waste removal like twigs, leaves, blanket weed, etc. This collection chamber also comes with a overflow protection pipe that allows water passage to protect the pump from running dry in case the drum does not rotate for any reason.

Another advantage is that the spray nozzles can operate with standard tap water pressure (min. 1,5 bar) so there is no need for a separate pump! The drum filters come with a clear water pump connection in case the available pressure is lower than 1,5 bar. Furthermore, the discharge gutter has an extra water connection to flush out the waste with extra water pressure. The drum filters come with a standard tank connector to install a optional AquaForte submersible UV-C lamp. This UV-C can be fitted directly with this tank connector and puts the lamp very short towards the drum to reduce the growth of bacteria on the drum and it will disinfect the water flowing through the drum filter without pressure loss.

The drum filters come without controller, this has to be ordered separately. Two controller units available. A standard version with a 230V outlet for a backwash pump or solenoid valve and a expanded version with an extra 230V outlet for a (submersible) UV-C unit and a cover switch. The cover switch will de-activate both the drum motor as well as the UV-C unit when the cover is lifted for maximum security.
