OPERATION

A Water inlet
The pump is connected to the water inlet via a pressure hose.
B Swirl system
Biomass is precipitated by centrifugal forces.
C Mechanical filter
Dirt particles are absorbed on the outside of the sponge before the
water reaches the inner chamber of the filter.
D Biological water clarification
The pores of the sponge have a large internal surface which can be
colonised by microorganisms. The sponges vary in size and density.
This creates zones in which the water flows at different speeds. Higher
velocity zones are more populated by microorganisms that convert
ammonium into nitrate. Areas of slower flow rate particularly aid the
growth of anaerobic microorganisms which reduce nitrate to nitrogen.
E Primary clarification of the pond water
As the water flows through, it is momentarily exposed to the ultraviolet
light of the UV-C lamp. This destroys harmful bacteria and germs while
reducing algae growth.
F Water outlet with flow indicator
At the outlet, the clarified water is returned to the pond.
