The New AurelAqua by Protege UV-C Series has landed and is already becoming the most demanded multi-stage Pond Filter by Aussies and Kiwis alike! Extremely versatile and customizable the UV-C series of external filters hold large amounts of mechanical and biological filter material to provide the ultimate filtration. The result is maximum flexibility to create a unique filtration system suited for your particular need. Multi-Stage Filtration System STAGE 1 - MECHANICAL FILTRATION - Water is pumped into the filter (pump sold separately) to create the necessary pressure to begin the mechanical filtration stage. Three foam discs collect various sizes of unwanted organic debris encouraging the growth of large numbers of beneficial bacteria which break down harmful pollutants. STAGE 2 - BIOLOGICAL FILTRATION - At this stage the water passes through the bio-balls at the bottom of the filter. These have a large surface area & provide a habitat for beneficial bacteria to grow which naturally convert the harmful toxins of ammonia & nitrites into useful nitrates to support a healthy pond environment. STAGE 3 - UV CLARIFICATION - The water which may contain microscopic suspended algae spores passes the UV lamp clumping and killing the spores to give crystal clear water. Compact and easy to set-up, the UV-C Series with its UV-C light, kills algae blooms, disease, and bacteria. The benefit of an external filter such as this is that you can check if there are clogs or blockage without greatly disturbing the fish, decorations or the substrata of the pond.
