The Hozelock Ecomax Filter Range are technologically advanced and highly efficient mechanical and biological filter for garden fish ponds.

The Ecomax has been designed with advanced filtration technology for the pondkeeper who wants a crystal clear pollutant free pond.

They have a combined Ultra Violet Clarifier ensuring clear water. The water is highly oxygenated on entry to the filter which increases its efficiency. Clear healthy water enters back to the pond after passing through a foam sheet and biological media.

The filter also comes complete with inspection hatch and drain.

Product characteristics at a glance

1 Water enters the unit and passes close to a UV lamp, separated from it by a quartz sleeve. The UV light makes algae clump together so it can be caught by the foam.

2 In-built 'turbulator' - the flow of the water through the UVC, created by the product design, increases the unit's efficiency by even exposure of the water to the UV light and eliminates the possibility of air locks.

3 Water leaves the UV chamber via a venturi, which aerates the water for a high oxygen content. The venturi's position in the filter is very important- the water is oxygenated before it enters the biomedia, which significantly increases the effectiveness and activity of beneficial bacteria. This results in a highly efficient breakdown of harmful pollutants in the water.

4 The water passes through plastic biomedia where beneficial bacteria cleanse pollutants. The amount of biomedia contained in the filter has been scientifically measured-and tested to ensure optimum biological filtration performance and increases in proportion to the size of filter/pond to support a greater number of fish.

5 A fine layer of foam traps any remaining solid particles.

6 Clear healthy water then passes back into the pond (via two outlets on the Ecomax 9000).

7 A drain is built in to flush out sludge, which collects at the bottom of the filter. The floor of the filter is sloped so sludge collects around the drain for easy removal.

8 Integral carry handles are positioned on the side of the filter to make the filter easy to lift if maintenance is required.

9 Viewing hatch to observe the internal operation of the filter, in particular whether any maintenance is needed.
