Anyone serious about koi knows that water quality is the heart of a healthy pond and healthy fish. At Select Koi in Tennessee, USA, owner Hunter has turned this into an art form. His passion for top-quality nishikigoi (koi) demands a filtration system that’s just as reliable and professional as his approach — and that goes for his customers too! That’s why he chose an extensive installation of Filtreau Excellent Filters, complemented with Trickle filters and Mountain Tree filter media to install at a fish farm. Specifically, it concerns the Filtreau Excellent BIO DRUM 100 XXL and the COMBI DRUM 80/100 XXL MOUNTAIN TREE filters.
In this success story, we take you to one of Hunter’s (Select Koi) fish farm clients and show you why this installation is the perfect example of how technology and craftsmanship come together in the world of koi.
Who is Hunter and what is Select Koi?
Select Koi is based in Sevierville, Tennessee, and is known for importing high-quality koi directly from Niigata, Japan. Hunter started small but grew into a well-established name in the American koi world. His ponds and tanks are designed to let koi grow under optimal conditions and excel in both health and appearance.
This level of professionalism requires a filtration system that does more than just remove dirt from the water. It must guarantee stability, clarity, and reliability — day in, day out.
Why Filtreau Excellent is the right choice
Hunter chose the Filtreau Excellent filter line, because these filtration systems offer a combination of:
- Powerful mechanical filtration. This easily removes coarse and fine dirt particles.
- Energy-efficient operation. Extremely important when dealing with large volumes of pond water.
- Durability. Robust materials that last for many years.
Reliability. Filtreau offers a system that won’t let you down, even under heavy use.
With this installation, Hunter keeps tens of thousands of liters of pond water crystal clear, without compromising the health of his fish.
The role of Trickles and Mountain Tree
In addition to the Excellent filters, Select Koi uses Trickle filters and Mountain Tree filter media.
- Trickle filters ensure maximum oxygen saturation of the water and the biological breakdown of harmful substances such as ammonia and nitrite. This is essential when dealing with a high fish load.
- Mountain Tree filter media provide an enormous surface area for beneficial bacteria. These bacteria form the biological engine of every filtration system and keep the water parameters stable.
The combination of these technologies creates an ecosystem that closely resembles the koi’s natural habitat.
What does this mean for Hunter’s koi?
For Hunter, this means he can confidently select, keep, and sell koi, knowing that the water quality is always at the highest level.
The water is continuously crystal clear
The koi display vibrant colors and healthy growth
Stress and diseases are minimized thanks to stable water parameters.
