The ClearChoice® Advantage
Efficient bio-filtration in a compact package.
|
 |
Tetra Pond's Bio-filter utilizes a trickle down tower design. This
filter makes a great indoor filter for quarantine tanks (QT) or other
smaller Koi ponds. Science proves that the trickle tower type biological
filtering is by far the best design. Cleaning is done about 1 - 2 times a year
to clean debris from the mechanical sponge filter pads, making this
filter easy and hands off once the bacteria are cycled. (Which
takes 3 -5 days on an established pond, or 21 days for new ponds after
fish are added.) We
tested the Clear Choice filter on a 100 gal. indoor QT tank with great
results. This filter has proven to be amazing no matter how often the fish
where fed. With six eight inch fish already in the tank, we added two 16 inch Koi
fish, then increased feeding to 9 times a day for weeks. Testing
resulted in no jump in
Ammonia! Summed up: Great
design and compact! |

- Easy out-of-pond accessibility and simple maintenance.
- Mechanical pre-filter sponges-remove suspended debris to improve
water clarity.
- Bio Ring media provide massive surface areas for beneficial
aerobic bacteria to adhere to and multiply. Aerobic bacteria eat
the ammonia toxins created by fish waste and decomposing plant
materials.
- TetraPond internal spray systems and Trickle Flow technology
disperses pond water slowly and evenly through the Bio Rings
ensuring that there is sufficient oxygen to provide optimal
bio-filtration conditions.
- 1.25" drain fitting
- Interchangeable .75", 1" intake fittings
- Ventura inlet aerates water and thus enhances bio-activity
Note: OASE
Aquarius series pumps make an excellent choice for this filtering
system.
4 Stages of Clean Choice Cycle:
- Intake - Water is pumped into top
inlet and dispersed by Trickle-Flow spray bar.
- Mechanical Filtration - Sponged
debris removed by filter sponge pads.
- Bio-Filtration - Water trickles over
the bio-rings that provide massive surface area for aerobic
bacteria to thrive:
Ventura inlet supplies oxygen for aerobic bacteria.
The beneficial bacteria on the bio-rings convert ammonia
into nitrites and the nitrates.
- Discharge and Nitrate Removed - Purified
water is discharged out the bottom of filter to the pond.
Nitrates can be removed from the pond by aquatic plants
and/or partial water changes.
