K+ Sinking Filter Media

Introducing the Next Generation of Filtration

Evolution Aqua has led the way in plastic media for biological pond filters since pioneering moving bed bio reactors over 20 years ago. While many new plastic media have since entered the market, most struggle with long maturation times essential for effective filtration. Evolution Aqua’s latest innovation, K+ Sinking Filter Media, addresses this challenge with cutting-edge design and performance.

Unmatched Surface Area

K+ Sinking Filter Media, developed and manufactured in the UK by Evolution Aqua, offers an industry-leading surface area for both biological and mechanical filtration. Its advanced design not only provides a large surface area but also accelerates the maturation process of your filter.

Faster Maturation with Advanced Materials

During the extrusion process, Evolution Aqua incorporates a blend of minerals, including magnesium, calcium, and enzymes, into the raw material. This unique process results in a media that outperforms competitors by:

• Accelerating Maturation: The addition of minerals and enzymes helps speed up the development of a stable biofilm, essential for effective filtration.
• Creating a Textured Surface: The media features a rough, honeycomb-like surface that collects waste particles and supports rapid bacterial growth.
• Enhancing Bacterial Growth: Minerals act as a food source for bacteria, promoting faster development and multiplication. Calcium supports biofilm formation, while salt creates a rough surface for easier biofilm adhesion.

Enhanced Surface Area

K+ Sinking Filter Media boasts an impressive surface area of 1,350 m² per m³, with a protected surface area of 1,025 m² per m³. This significant surface area supports stable biofilm development, crucial for moving bed biological filtration systems like the Nexus+.

Optimized Biofilm Development

The media’s design includes additional cells and fins that create “quiet zones,” fostering the growth of beneficial microorganisms such as Rotifers and Vorticella. These organisms enhance the media’s filtration performance by contributing to the biofilm’s effectiveness.

Recommended Usage

For optimal results, Evolution Aqua recommends using K+ Media in conjunction with PURE Pond and PURE+ Filter Start Gel. These products boost bacterial levels, allowing them to adhere to the media and further accelerate the maturation process.

Elevate your filtration system with K+ Sinking Filter Media and experience superior performance and efficiency in your pond.
