The Evolution Aqua Surge Filter is an innovative filter designed to deliver crystal clear, healthy...The Evolution Aqua Surge Filter is an innovative filter designed to deliver crystal clear, healthy water for ponds up to 5,000 Litres (1,100 Gallons). It features built-in 18W UV clarification to combat green water. The filter utilizes K+Media for enhanced mechanical and biological filtration, trapping fine particles and maintaining biological balance. Its unique Air Clean Technology simplifies cleaning by using an air syphon to agitate and clean the K+Media as the filter empties, eliminating the need for manual cleaning of sponges or foams and preserving beneficial bacteria. This moving bed filtration system ensures the media self-cleans, leading to optimal effectiveness without bacterial loss. Specifications include a maximum pond size of 5,000 Litres, inlet/outlet sizes of 3/4", 1", 1 1/4" (20mm, 25mm, 32mm), a waste outlet of 1" (25mm), a maximum flow rate of 3,500 Iph (770 gph), an optimum flow rate of 2,500 Iph (550 gph), 4.5 Litres of K+Media supplied, a water volume of 19 Litres (4.2 Gallons) in the filter, and a 2 Year Manufacturer Guarantee.
This guide is for pond owners seeking clear, healthy water. The Evolution Aqua Surge Filter offers an innovative solution for ponds up to 5,000 Litres (1,100 Gallons), effectively eliminating green water and maintaining a balanced ecosystem. A key benefit is the Air Clean Technology, which simplifies cleaning. However, it's essential to understand the optimal flow rate for peak performance.
