Elecro Sand Filter

Elecro Sand FilterElecro Sand Filters

The sand filter requires Quartz sand.  When the sand filter has been installed take a pressure reading from the pressure gauge. This is your filter’s natural pressure without any debris in the filter, when the pressure rises by 0.2 to 0.3 Bar / 3.0 to 4.0 PSI a backwash is required. Once the backwash has been completed the pressure should return to the original reading.

Lacron Sand Filters

Lacron Sand FiltersLacron Sand Filters

Lacron filters have been designed with performance and durability in mind. The main tank is made from tough, glass-reinforced polyester suitable for use in saltwater and freshwater. The smooth internal surface helps to prevent clogging and maintains efficient water flow through the unit.

The reliable multi-port valve is easy to use and side-mounted to enable easy maintenance of the sand filter interior without disturbing connection pipework.

The large, clear lid provides a view into the sand filter so that the water flow and backwashing can be observed. A pressure gauge can be fitted to the sand filter to indicate when it is time to clean or backwash the unit.

Silicon Sand

Silicon SandSilicon Sand for pond sand filters.

This specially graded marine sand is guaranteed to contain a high percentage of algal oolites. The algal oolites are highly porous and provide a perfect habitat for de-nitrifying bacteria. Due to their uniquely porous nature, oolites can house several hundred times more bacteria than crushed shell or calcium based rocks i.e dolomite gravel.
In simple terms, the marine sand will mature very quickly and remain relatively stable.Tropical Marine Sand should be lightly rinsed in fresh water before being introduced to the aquarium. Suitable for freshwater and marine aquariums.

Tropical Marine Gravel is carefully graded to obtain a uniform grain size and colour. It has a highly porous structure which makes it an ideal biological filter medium, especially when used in conjunction with mechanical filtration. It should be noted the Tropical Marine Gravel has equal buffering capacities to calcium or Dolomite gravel, but its larger surface area makes it the ideal choice where a buffering and biological substrate is required.
