Product Description
-------------------
For 50 year, fishkeeping enthusiasts have looked to the
Tetra name for products and solutions that add ease and beauty to
their home. Whether you're an experienced hobbyist or just
starting out, Tetra has everything you need–-from a large variety
of quality fish food and innovative equipment to test kits and
decor. Bio-Active Pressure Filters provide mechanical and
biological filtration to help you maintain clear and y pond
water. Its unique open profile bio-activators provide large
surface area and unrestriced water flow to all surfaces for
improved cleaning. It is designed with an easy, backflush valve
for fast cleaning. This filter also integrates an Ultra-Violet
Clarifier that provides permanent control of suspended algae
which cause green water. The filter includes a 2 year limited
warranty (excludes bulbs) and a 9 foot power cord. Mechanical
Filtration: Pond water flows down through the bio-activators
which remove suspended debris and dirt from the water.

The Easy Solution for a Clear and y Pond
----------------------------------------------
The TetraPond Bio-Active Pressure Filter with UV Clarifier works
to keep your pond clean and y with both mechanical and
biological filtration. This easy-to-use filter features a unique
open profile bio-activator that provides a large surface area and
unrestricted water flow to all surfaces for improved cleaning. An
included TetraPond UV Bulb works to reduce the presence of
single-celled algae by reducing its ability to reproduce. A
simple back flush valve allows for fast cleaning.

How it Works
------------
* Water is pumped from the pond to the pressure filter.
* Water is mechanically and biologically filtered.
* Filtered water is forced up the center tube. UV light destroys
the single-celled algae’s availability to reproduce. Dead algae
cells clump and are removed by the filter.
* Filtered water is forced under pressure to the waterfall or
stream.
Mechanical Filtration
---------------------
Pond water flows down through the bio-activators which remove
suspended debris and dirt from the water.
UV Clarifier
------------
Each TetraPond Bio-Active Clarifier comes complete with a
TetraPond UV Clarifier Bulb. The UV clarifier works by exposing
single-celled algae to very high levels of Ultra Violet light as
the pond water containing them is pumped through the clarifier.
The water containing single-celled algae comes in close contact
with the light from the UV bulb that is protected from the water
by a quartz glass sleeve. The Ultra Violet radiation disrupts the
algae’s ability to reproduce. The algae die and clump together;
at which point they are easily removed by the bio-activators
inside the pressure filter.
Biological Filtration
---------------------
Biological Filtration occurs on the massive surface areas found
in the bio-activators. Beneficial bacteria will naturally
colonize on the surface area and convert harmful pollutants in
the water into relatively harmless nitrates, which are absorbed
by the aquatic s and removed by partial water changes. This
is known as the “Nitrogen Cycle”.
Bio-Activators
--------------
TetraPond Bio-Active Pressure Filters come equipped with
bio-activators which offer superior filtration and back flush
performance over foam. In normal filtration operation, these
bio-activators easily trap dirt and debris from your pond and
because of their shape they provide a large active surface area
for the beneficial bacteria to colonize for upgraded biological
filtration. During the back flush operation, bio-activators
provide unrestricted water flow to all the surfaces so that dirt
and debris are thoroughly removed while leaving the beneficial
bacteria on the bio-activator surfaces intact and robust.
Easy Back Flush Capabilities
----------------------------
* The water is reversed and forced down the center tube.
* The water jets create a whirlpool effect in the bio-activator
chamber.
* Dirt and debris is loosened from the bio-activators.
* Dirty water is discharged out the back flush port into the
garden.
Enhance Your Filtration Performance
-----------------------------------
For high performance, power your TetraPond Bio-Active Pressure
Filter with a Tetra Pond DHP series clog-free debris handling
pump. This combination of pump and filter provides the easy
solution for pond maintenance and care.
Do not use with pumps that exceed 4500 gallons per hour. This
could damage the filter.
Do not use pumps with flows less than 2500 gal/hr. A minimum of
2500 gallons per hour is necessary to perform the back flush
operation.
Note: All pressure filters restrict the flow from your pump.
Expect about a 45% reduction in the water flow through the
filter.
