The Helix Bio-Mechanical Reactor is like no other standalone filter you have ever seen! It is revolutionary in its combined types of filtration for incredible effectiveness. This filter addresses biological filtration and mechanical filtration, which can handle all aspects of pond filtration — even in ponds with very high fish populations. This filter uses lava rock or similar media (not included) on the bottom half of the filter for significant mechanical filtration; it uses dynamically-aerated, highly-porous biological media in the top half of the filter for highly effective biological filtration. The mechanical portion is back-washed while adding air agitation from a standard wet/dry vacuum exhaust hose. The biological half of the filter is maintenance free, allowing beneficial bacteria to thrive in dense populations for effective breakdown of ammonia, nitrate, and nitrites FAST! Together these two half provide the best of both worlds – biological and mechanical filtration in a meaningful capacity.
