Information

There are various methods available for water purification, including mechanical and biological filtration techniques. With well-maintained filter systems, you can achieve and maintain healthy and stable water quality.

Mechanical (pre)filtration

Biological filtration

Mechanical (pre)filtration

Mechanical filtration is the indispensable first step in any high-quality filtration system. It encompasses various techniques, such as filter brushes, sieve bends (or 'curved screens'), and drum filters, to effectively remove coarse organic material (such as leaves, algae, and dirt) from the incoming water.

Why is it crucial?
A properly functioning mechanical filter system provides two primary benefits:

  • Optimal Operation of Biofilters: It prevents your biological filter media from becoming clogged with sludge, allowing them to optimally perform their task (the conversion of waste products).

  • Stable Water Quality: By removing contamination immediately, the organic load in your pond is significantly reduced.

This is the key to obtaining and long-term maintaining clear and healthy water quality.

Biological Filtration

Biological filtration is the core of healthy water quality. The process uses bacterial mechanisms to remove harmful nitrogen compounds (such as ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate) from the water through biological nitrification (aerobic) and denitrification (anaerobic) processes.

The challenge of Filtration Media
The effectiveness of this biological purification depends entirely on the choice of the filtration material. Although nitrifying bacteria attach relatively easily to materials (such as ceramic materials), cultivating the denitrifying strains is a greater challenge. They require specific, oxygen-poor (anoxic) zones, which are often lacking in most standard filtration materials.

The Solution
Nano Bacteria House are an advanced filtration material that, due to its unique porosity, offers the ideal habitat for both bacterial strains.

  • Outer Surface: Rich in oxygen for nitrifying bacteria.

  • Inner Core: Creates the necessary anoxic zones for denitrifying bacteria.

This makes Nano Bacteria House an indispensable filtration material for achieving optimal and complete biological balance, essential for healthy, stable, and crystal-clear water.

Nano Bacteria House

Nano Bacteria House represent the pinnacle of biological filtration media. This type of filtration material is globally recognized as a cost-effective, extremely durable, and ideal material for the most demanding filtration systems.

This ceramic material is unique thanks to a three-part superior characteristic:

  • Exceptional Durability: Guaranteed for long-term use.

  • Maximum Porosity: Creates an enormous surface area for bacterial attachment.

  • High Absorption Capacity: Directly absorbs harmful dissolved substances and contaminants from the water.

 

The Breakthrough in Nitrate Reduction
What truly makes the Nano Rods indispensable is their ability to offer complete biological purification. The structure is designed to facilitate both aerobic (oxygen-rich) and anaerobic/anoxic (oxygen-poor) zones:

  • Nitrification on the Outside: The large surface area on the outside and edges is rich in oxygen and provides the perfect environment for nitrifying bacteria to break down ammonia and nitrite.

  • Denitrification in the Core: The rods are extremely porous, creating a significant surface area deep within their core. This ensures the necessary oxygen-poor zones that are essential for the denitrifying bacterial strains. This makes the biological reduction of nitrate —often the most difficult step in water purification— possible in a natural and efficient way.

 

Indispensable in High-Performance Systems
This complete biological capacity makes the Nano Bacteria House rods suitable for all biological filtration methods. They particularly excel and are indispensable for achieving top water quality in intensive systems such as Trickle and Bakki Shower filtration systems.

Added Mineral Value
Nano Bacteria House rods offer an additional benefit: under specific circumstances, the rods can gradually release beneficial minerals. These components dissolve slowly over a long period, contributing to a healthy and stable balance.

Tourmaline

One of the secret raw materials in our Nano Bacteria House Rods is Tourmaline. This mineral rock, known for its unique crystal structure, is not only valued as a gemstone in jewelry but also in electronics because of its pyroelectric properties.

In water filtration, Tourmaline plays a special role, as it is believed to contribute to various unique properties:

  • Infrared Radiation: Emits long-wave infrared radiation.

  • Negative Ions: Stimulates the release of negative oxygen ions.

  • Water Quality: Helps combat harmful bacteria and increase the oxygen capacity of the water.

Kaolin

Another important raw material in the Nano Bacteria House rods is Kaolin. This mineral clay is widely used in various industries (from cosmetics to ceramics) because of its superior absorbent and texturing properties.

Within the Nano Bacteria House, Kaolin plays a specific role:

  • Clarity: It actively helps to filter turbidity from the pond water.

  • Purification: It binds and absorbs impurities, which contributes to a clearer and cleaner end result.

The integration of Kaolin ensures you have a filtration material that not only provides biological purification but also helps to optimize water clarity.

Nano Bacteria House XL

Where conventional Bacteria House rods reach their limits, the Nano Bacteria House XL Rods take over. This larger variant has been specifically developed to excel in systems with the highest demands, where maximum performance and rapid conversion are crucial.

Designed for Intensive Purification
The XL rod is the specialist for:

  • Professional Chamber Filtration: Where large quantities of water must be treated in a short time.

  • Trickle & Bakki Shower Systems, where the flow rate is naturally high.

Due to their larger volume, the XL rods force the water to engage in a longer contact time with the porous surface. This results in a longer and more intensive purification period, which is perfect for systems with high flow rates.

The Result
Your water is purified deeper and more efficiently than is possible with standard filtration media, pushing the boundaries of what you can achieve in terms of clarity and stability.

Moving Bed - S

Moving Bed - S is the perfect, low-maintenance solution for multi-chamber filtration. This filtration material has been specifically developed for dynamic, moving bed configurations and offers superior and robust biological capacity.

The Unique Structure and Efficiency
The material is rich in a multitude of open chambers, which not only create a very high effective surface area for bacteria to attach and multiply, but also optimally protect the bacterial colonies.

This type of filtration material is produced in an S-shape. This shape ensures that more space is created between the pieces.

This means that the material:

  • Moves more easily with the current.

  • Has self-cleaning properties because it is continuously in motion, removing inactive biomass.

  • Gives new bacteria room to grow.

Maximum Capcity, Minimum Maintenance
The biggest advantage of moving bed configurations is the combination of power and convenience:

  • Large Capacity: Offers an exceptionally large colonization area for bacteria, ideal for ponds with higher fish stocks.

  • Low Maintenance: The constant, gentle movement ensures a self-cleaning effect, which minimizes maintenance and guarantees a stable, active bacterial culture.
