The result: a stable, healthy pond. The combination of automatic pre-filtration and powerful biological filtration makes these systems extremely suitable for demanding 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.
Advantages of Mountain Tree filter media:
- Excellent bacterial adhesion due to large surface area.
- High biological filtration capacity.
- Reduced risk of clogging, resulting in more stable flow.
- Lightweight and easy to use.
- Durable and wear-resistant, suitable for many years of use.
Thanks to this combination of advanced mechanical filtration and intelligent biological filtration, Filtreau’s drum filters offer a future-proof solution for every demanding pond enthusiast.
FAQ Mountain Tree filter media
Mountain Tree filter media feature a patented spiral structure and an extremely large surface area, providing optimal bacterial adhesion. Combined with the self-cleaning system of Filtreau drum filters, this creates a powerful balance between mechanical and biological filtration.
The Filtreau Excellent drum filters are equipped with, among others, the Spiral Filter Mat, Bacteria House I, and Lotus Root Bacteria House II from Mountain Tree. Each type of media has specific properties to maximize waste breakdown, water flow, and bacterial growth.
De spiraalstructuur vergroot het contactoppervlak voor bacteriën en creëert turbulentie in het water, waardoor zuurstofrijk water dieper in het materiaal kan doordringen. Dit bevordert een actieve bacteriecultuur die ammoniak en nitriet efficiënt afbreekt.
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.
