For maximum pond sizes up to 9000 litres (2000 gallons)
Bioforce presents a major advance in pond filtration
in
effectiveness and miniaturisation
Many years of development and testing went into the
Bioforce. Not only are we confident that it works very
well but it has quickly become accepted as a winner
in all levels of the trade.
It is a closed, pressure system holding more bacteria
than a similar size normal filter. It is small enough
to completely hide near the pond when it is buried up
to its lid.
Being pressurised by the pond pump, water can be pumped
up from the Bioforce to the top of a waterfall. This
makes it even easier to hide.
Bioforce is ideal for pond keepers who want simplicity,
clear water and an attractive hidden filter system.
Bioforce is available as a biological filter or combined
biological filter and UVC. With the UVC, clear water
is guaranteed if the correct size Bioforce is used.
How to install a Bioforce
Bury the Bioforce up to its lid next to the pond.
It is best to use a Titan solids handling pump which
moves solids from the pond to the Bioforce where they
can be easily flushed away. Pond water is pumped up
to the Bioforce which is buried up to its lid to hide
it.
Water from the Bioforce can either be passed straight
back into the pond or up to the top of a waterfall.
A waterfall will increase aeration.
Simple de-sludge system.
Bioforce filters can be cleared of sludge without the
need for manual cleaning. Just swap round the hoses
and turn on the pump for a few seconds. Sludge will
be cleared from the bottom of the Bioforce and easily
disposed of. (Excludes the Bioforce 1100, 1100uvc, 9000
and 9000uvc).
Bioforce 2200 / 4500
UVC
This is the system used in the Bioforce 2200 UVC and
4500 UVC. In the Bioforce 1100 a different flow is used
as this is more effective for smaller ponds.
Water enters tangentially, spinning the water inside
the Bioforce to settle out the solids.
Water is forced through special density foam. Because
the water is pressurised the foam can fill with many
more beneficial bacteria without becoming blocked. It
is this larger number of bacteria, taking pollutants
out of the water, that make Bioforce so effective.
Water then passes close to the UV light, separated from
it by a quartz glass sleeve. UV light makes algae clump
together and sink to the bottom of the pond or get trapped
in the Bioforce foam next time round.
Beware of UVC's that use ordinary glass or plastic sleeves
around the UVC light. Glass and plastics are barriers
to UV light cutting out up to 90% of the UV rays.
Bioforce 9000 UVC
Patents Pending
The Bioforce 9000 doubles the size of pond which can
be maintained using the Compact Filtration approach.
Pond water passes into Bioforce 9000 creating a vortex
in the top.
The water is forced through three specially graded foams
which catch particles and hold beneficial bacteria all
the way through. This increases the performance of the
unit and increases the time between cleaning.
Almost solids free, the water passes through plastic
biomedia where more beneficial bacteria cleanse the
pollutants.
Water then passes close to the UV light, separated from
it by a quartz glass sleeve. UV light makes algae clump
together and sink to the bottom of the pond or get trapped
in the Bioforce foam next time round.
When the Bioforce becomes blocked this red button will
rise up. Water will then bypass the biological foams
but still pass the UVC lamp. This signals that the foams
need rinsing in pond water.
With the use of the special fittings available, two
Bioforce 9000 units can be linked together for ponds
up to 18000 litres capacity.
