Product Description
-------------------
For 50 year, fishkeeping enthusiasts have looked to the Tetra
name for products and solutions that add ease and beauty to their
home. Whether you're an experienced hobbyist or just starting
out, Tetra has everything you need–-from a large variety of
quality fish food and innovative equipment to test kits and
decor. The Bio-Active Pressure Filter works to keep your pond
clean and y with both mechanical and biological filtration.
This easy-to-use filter features a unique open profile
bio-activator that provides a large surface area and unrestricted
water flow to all surfaces for improved filtering. A simple back
flush valve allows for fast cleaning. This filter works for ponds
up to 4000 gallons. Bio-Active Pressure Filters come equipped
with bio-activators which offer superior filtration and back
flush performance over foam. In normal filtration operation,
these bio-activators easily trap dirt and debris from your pond
and because of their shape they provide a large active surface
area for the beneficial bacteria to colonize for upgraded
biological filtration. During the back flush operation,
bio-activators provide unrestricted water flow to all the
surfaces so that dirt and debris are thoroughly removed while
leaving the beneficial bacteria on the bio-activator surfaces
intact and robust.

How it Works
------------
* Water is pumped from the pond to the pressure filter.
* Water is mechanically and biologically filtered.
* Filtered water is forced under pressure to the waterfall or
stream.
Mechanical Filtration
---------------------
Pond water flows down through the bio-activators which remove
suspended debris and dirt from the water.
Biological Filtration
---------------------
Biological Filtration occurs on the massive surface areas found
in the bio-activators. Beneficial bacteria will naturally
colonize on the surface area and convert harmful pollutants in
the water into relatively harmless nitrates, which are absorbed
by the aquatic s and removed by partial water changes. This
is known as the “Nitrogen Cycle”.
Bio-Activators
--------------
TetraPond Bio-Active Pressure Filters come equipped with
bio-activators which offer superior filtration and back flush
performance over foam. In normal filtration operation, these
bio-activators easily trap dirt and debris from your pond and
because of their shape they provide a large active surface area
for the beneficial bacteria to colonize for upgraded biological
filtration. During the back flush operation, bio-activators
provide unrestricted water flow to all the surfaces so that dirt
and debris are thoroughly removed while leaving the beneficial
bacteria on the bio-activator surfaces intact and robust.
Easy Back Flush Capabilities
----------------------------
* The water is reversed and forced down the center tube.
* The water jets create a whirlpool effect in the bio-activator
chamber.
* Dirt and debris is loosened from the bio-activators.
* Dirty water is discharged out the back flush port into the
garden.
Enhance Your Filtration Performance
-----------------------------------
For high performance, power your TetraPond Bio-Active Pressure
Filter with a Tetra Pond DHP series clog-free debris handling
pump. This combination of pump and filter provides the easy
solution for pond maintenance and care.
Do not use with pumps that exceed 4500 gallons per hour. This
could damage the filter.
Do not use pumps with flows less than 2500 gal/hr. A minimum of
2500 gallons per hour is necessary to perform the back flush
operation.
Note: All pressure filters restrict the flow from your pump.
Expect about a 45% reduction in the water flow through the
filter.
