Biocarrier Helix flakes 10 or 100 liters.
The Biocarrier Helix tablet is an innovation in the field of fluidized bed filters.
This white pellet has a diameter of 30 mm and a thickness of 1.1 mm.
It has a specific surface area for bacteria of more than 5000 m² / m³, which is on average 5 to 6 times greater than that of media usually used in fluidized bed filtration.
Therefore, a small number of pellets is required compared to a traditional material.
The Biocarrier Helix pellet is made of HDPE with a density of 0.75 kg / dm3.
Weight of 150 kg / m3.
As it is exceptionally light, it takes very little energy to set it in motion in the water. This can sometimes generate significant savings in the use of pumps!
Very good upstream pre-filtration is essential.
The filter chamber can be filled up to 60% with pellets: they can also be added to extend or strengthen an existing filtration.
This makes it possible to increase the biological filtration capacity without any adaptation!
Biocarrier Helix tablets are delivered in a 10 or 100 liter bag.
Before using these pellets in the filter, keep the weighted mesh pellets in pond water for a few days. This will allow the material to acquire an adequate density to function properly in a moving bed. Then wait 4 to 5 weeks before you see good media movement in the filter.
10 or 100 liter bag.
Super Bio, also sold under the name New Crystal Bio (Koi Crystal) is a filtration media mainly made of glass foam. The high temperature manufacturing process (900 ° C) provides an extremely porous material that promotes bacterial growth.
