During the cleaning process, air is drawn into the filter as it empties which causes the water to agitate, effectively cleaning the K+Media.
Page 3 As Evolution Aqua extrude the K+Media, minerals and enzymes are added to the raw material. The result of this process, unique to Evolution Aqua, is a filtration media that not only outperforms most of its competitors due to its large protected surface area, but also answers the problem of how to speed up the time taken to mature your filter.

Page 19 CLEANING THE TEMPEST FILTER The Tempest filter should be cleaned regularly as required. A cleaning process drops 25 litres of water to waste. IMPORTANT: The pump must be turned off and slide valves closed before opening the tap on the waste valve assembly.
Page 20 CLEANING THE TEMPEST FILTER 1. Switch pump off 2. Close all slide valves 3. Open waste valve tap Air enters the filter causing the filter media to move and clean as the water drains to waste. 4. Close waste valve tap 5.
Page 21 TROUBLESHOOTING Filter media not cleaning 1. Check the air valve is not blocked. 2. Check the slide valves are fully closed. 3. If the media is very dirty this may cause the pack to clump together. Multiple cleans should clear this. 4.
