Biotec 10
I have a 1,500 gallon Pond which is heavily overcrowded and has torn
every filter we've had up to date to shreds. We've tried, Bioforce 1000 UVC, 2000 UVC, 2 Tetra PF3s, all of them in series *minus 1000 UVC.* *the Tetras where supplied to us by the previous owners of the house.* With the PF3s, we need to clean the filters once every 12 hours to keep them from clogging and overflowing, and we've decided that a truly oversized Filter is in order. Can anyone relate to a Biotec 10 pond filter? Does it allow for 2650 GPH or 4000GPH *websites seem to be half and half on this* of water flow? How does the Bypass on the Bitron 18 - 72 UV lamps work? Is it simply a tube in which pond water flows directly to the filter without being sterilised? *after finding our 'effective pond volume' we've come to the solution that the pond is about 2200 Gallons. Thanks for your time, David |
