| Maintain a healthy and clear pond with TetraPond Clearchoice Biofilters. Ornamental fish can overload a pond ecosystem with ammonia and other pollutants. ClearChoice biofiltration removes these contaminants and ammonia using its advanced Trickle Flow and Bio Ring technologies.
Features:
Easy out-of-pond accessibility and simple maintenance.
Mechanical pre-filter sponges-remove suspended debris to improve water clarity.
Bio Ring media provide massive surface areas for beneficial aerobic bacteria to adhere to and multiply. Aerobic bacteria eat the ammonia toxins created by fish waste and decomposing plant materials.
TetraPond internal spray systems and Trickle Flow technology disperses pond water slowly and evenly through the Bio Rings ensuring that there is sufficient oxygen to provide optimal biofiltration.

Stage 1:
Intake - Water is pumped into top inlet and dispersed by the Trickle-Flow spray bar.
Stage 2:
Mechanical Filtration - Suspended debris removed by filter sponge pads.
Stage 3:
Bio-Filtration - Water trickles over the bio-ringsthat provide massive surface area for aerobic bacteria to thrive. Venturi Inlet supplies oxygen for aerobic bacteria. The beneficial bacteria on the bio-rings convert ammonia into nitrites and then to nitrates.
Stage 4:
Discharge + Nitrate Removal - Purified water is discharged ou the bottom of the filter to the pond. Nitrates can be removed from the pond by aquatic plants and partial water changes. |
