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.
