The ceramics one
all new media of filtration coming to complete the range of the medias already
exists
These ceramics present themselves under the following shape
My idea was immediately to create a filter semi humid with this media that is suitable
really well to this type of filtration. Indeed the sought-after goal is to have
a cascade of water that percole through the mass. The fact to trickle
leave to the water of that to load a maximum in oxygen encouraging the thus
development of the bacteria aerobes. Even structure it of the ceramics
makes in sort to break the particles of water increasing the exchanges again
sparkling, all gain for this type of filtration.
Contruction of a FILTRATION SEMI HUMID
THAT IS THAT THAT FILTRATION SEMI HUMID ? (Definition)
Filtration semi humid consists has fill a free chamber to air of
possible most porous materials, in this case of course the ceramics
The efficiency of the filter semi humid resides in his big power of
nitrification it is owed to the fact notably that water streams on
the ceramics and of this fact activates the bacteria, thanks to one, strongly
contribution important of oxygen due to the air / water contact that has the effect of oxidizing
quickly the organic garbage
Benefit of the system :
- Rate of oxygen dissolves very elevated
- Very fast start of the filter
- Don't leave any luck to the apparition of the nitrites if the filter is proportioned well
Inconveniences :
- The filter is loud
- The filter is a plant to nitrates, resulting nitrates of the good performance of the nitrogen cycle
CONSTITUTION OF THE FILTER
I bought quite simple perforated baskets, this type of baskets (cash boxes)
generally contains some plants, this type of cash box is therefore easy has
to find at any merchant of plants or jardineries and this for
some Euro the basket hardly
I filled merely the cash boxes with ceramics and stacked this one on several floors so that
water can percoler through the ceramics
The ceramics are watered generously
My pond is only filtered with this filter trickle and the ceramics. Of course it is a covered pond
who is not submitted to the external risks as the leaves...
On the other hand it is a pond of 8m³ with 8
koï of 55cm and more, and 5 koï of 30cm and more, therefore very loaded,
in spite of it, not of nitrites and a crystalline water
A simple EPDM tilt harvests the water of the filter for the
to repay to the pond, simple no?
Here is I hope that this small installation will give you some ideas and will make you especially save quite a lot of coins at the sight of the prices practiced for this type of filter
