Filtreau drum filters
Mountain Tree
The Filtreau Excellent Line with Mountain Tree filter media consists of five high-quality drum filters.
These models come standard with biological filter media from Mountain Tree, including BioHouse and Japanese Mats. Thanks to their large surface area and durable structure, these filter media provide optimal support for beneficial bacteria, ensuring effective breakdown of ammonia and nitrite.
The result: a stable, healthy pond. With the combination of automatic pre-filtration and powerful biological filtration, these systems are ideally suited for high-demand koi and swimming ponds.
Drum filters with Mountain Tree by Filtreau
A drum filter is an intelligent mechanical pre-filter that automatically removes coarse debris such as leaves, food remains, and waste from pond water. In Filtreau systems, this process is automated by a self-cleaning rinse system that effectively disposes of the dirt without manual intervention. This results in energy-efficient and low-maintenance operation, perfectly suited for demanding koi and swimming ponds.
After this pre-filtration, the water flows into the biological filter compartment, where the power of Mountain Tree filter media truly comes into its own. These mats and cartridges feature a patented spiral structure with an extremely large surface area for bacterial attachment. This creates the ideal habitat for nitrifying bacteria, which are essential for breaking down ammonia and nitrite—substances that are harmful to fish and water quality.
What makes Mountain Tree unique is not only its high efficiency, but also its smart design. The open structure prevents clogging, maintains water flow, and makes the material easy to clean or replace.
What are the benefits?
Excellent bacterial adhesion
The filter media in the Filtreau drum filters features an optimized structure with an extremely large contact surface. This provides the ideal living environment for nitrifying bacteria that convert harmful substances such as ammonia and nitrite into less harmful compounds. The larger the surface area, the more bacteria can adhere and remain active – essential for a healthy and stable pond biology.
High biological filtration capacity
Thanks to the combination of ample adhesion surface and continuous water flow, these filters can efficiently process large amounts of biological waste. This makes the systems suitable for ponds with a high fish population, such as koi ponds, where biological load is intense.
Reduced risk of clogging, resulting in more stable flow
The smart design of the filter prevents debris from accumulating in critical areas. As a result, water flow remains consistent and the strain on pumps and other pond components is reduced. This helps prevent malfunctions and minimizes maintenance.
Lightweight and easy to use
Despite their robust performance, Filtreau filters are designed with ease of use in mind. The housing is lightweight, easy to install, and accessible for maintenance. This saves time and makes the system appealing to both hobbyists and professional installers.
Durable and wear-resistant, suitable for many years of use
The materials used are resistant to heavy use, UV radiation, and changing weather conditions. As a result, the filters remain effective for many years without compromising performance — an investment that pays for itself.
Future-proof total solution
Thanks to the combination of advanced mechanical filtration (such as self-cleaning drum technology) and a smart approach to biological filtration, Filtreau offers a reliable long-term solution. This makes the system ideal for demanding pond enthusiasts who aim for crystal-clear water with minimal effort and maximum stability.
Frequently asked questions about Mountain Tree filters
Mountain Tree filters feature a patented spiral structure and an extremely large attachment surface, ensuring optimal bacterial adhesion. In combination with the self-cleaning system of. Filtreau drum filters a powerful balance is created between mechanical and biological filtration.
The 10W Filtreau Excellent drum filters zijn uitgerust met onder andere de Spiral Filter Mat, Bacteria House I en Lotus Root Bacteria House II van Mountain Tree. Elk type media heeft specifieke eigenschappen om vuilafbraak, waterdoorstroming en bacteriegroei te maximaliseren.
The spiral structure increases the contact surface for bacteria and creates turbulence in the water, allowing oxygen-rich water to penetrate deeper into the material. This promotes an active bacterial culture that efficiently breaks down ammonia and nitrite.
Thanks to their open structure, the filter mats from Mountain Tree are less prone to clogging. Moreover, they remain effective for longer without deep cleaning, especially when combined with Filtreau’s automatic rinsing drum filter.
Yes, especially in larger ponds, the advantages of these media truly come into their own. Due to their high biological capacity, they are perfectly suited for ponds with a large fish population or higher organic load.
