Technical Post | Fish pond filtration system sedimentation bin effect is not good, can do so

I do not know whether the majority of fish friends have encountered such a problem: small and medium-sized fish ponds, with the traditional filtration tank sedimentation bin does not seem to play a role in the role, the sedimentation effect is not very ideal?

Most filtration systems are designed with site considerations in mind, and there is usually a reluctance to expand the volume of the settling bin to the entire filtration system's40%The general practice is to reduce the volume of the settling bin to the filtration system, which is considered to be too wasteful.25 to 30%The water will flow from the main tank to the sedimentation bin through the bottom drain. In this way, the flow rate of water from the main tank through the bottom discharge pipe into the sedimentation bin will be relatively rapid, and most of the dirt will not have enough time to settle, and will gush directly to the next bin with the flow of water, resulting in the effect of the sedimentation bin is greatly reduced.

Making the bottom discharge pipe in the settling bin an h-shape was a posting to the site by a previous poster many years ago, theProven to be very effective by fish enthusiastsSo I did some research and posted it today to discuss it with you all!Exchange.

The advantage of making the bottom drain into an h-pipe hole into the sediment bin is:

(1) Turbulence of the water flow into the sedimentation bin, which facilitates the settling of particles such as fish waste.

(2) The connection between the main pool and the filter bin can be cut off by pulling out the h-pipe and replacing it with a 110 pipe. The filter bin can be thoroughly cleaned by simply pumping out the filter bin.

(3) When you need to leave for a long period of time (e.g., 1 to 2 weeks) for business trips, etc., in order to prevent leaves from clogging the holes in the h-pipe, change the 110 pipe with a tee, and the flow direction of the water into the sedimentation bin will be horizontal.

The only disadvantage of h-tubes is that the diffusion holes may become clogged with leaves, causing a break in the flow; so the wall openings should not be too small; to25 to 30 mm In order to do so.

However, whisper a reminder, if from the effect and cost-effective point of view, for small and medium-sized fish ponds, in fact, or integrated filtration equipment is good to use, easy to install, easy to maintain easy to clean, professional and technical requirements are not as high as the filtration pool, but also to ensure that the filtration effect, for example -Ollies stainless steel integrated fish pond filter, after more than a decade of market testing and customer feedback, long service life, good treatment effect, users are more assured!
