OASE Biotec 18 Screenex Filter

OASE Biotec 36 Screenex Filter

[view large image]

Most ordinary filters are designed trading off between effectiveness and low maintenance. Often a very effective filter will require constant attention and filter cleaning, especially when the pond environment intoduces larger particles such as fish waste or fine gravel into the filtration process.
The Screenex particle screen was designed to make the Biotec Screenex Filters a solution that does not compromise between effectiveness and ease of use.
With Screenex technology, larger particles are trapped and removed from the water before they can clog the filter pad pores and reduce filtration efficiency. Flushing the screen requires only the twist of the flow regulator.
Of course, the Biotec 12 / 18 / 36 offer all the benefits of their smaller siblings.  Biological filtration removes excess nitrogen compounds from the water to control algae growth. Filter pad cleaning is hassle-free. Compatibility with other OASE equipment ensures optimal performance. In addition, the Biotec 18 and 36 have a second filter chamber (factory filled with OASE Phosless) which can be used with additional filtration media of choice.
