The new Bioforce Revolution 6000 filter system is pre-assembled for easy installation with a new pond or an existing filtration system. The unit can be hidden at the side of a pond or buried in the ground up to the level of hose inlets. The pressurised filter allows the water to be pumped to a higher exit point to create relaxing waterfalls. Through flow coarse foams reduce the filter cleaning frequency. Profiled foams present a larger surface area for the efficient removal of waste. The Bioforce Revolution Systems feature all the benefits of the standard bioforce systems but also benefit from the use of CypriCube foams with +50% surface area ensure clear water and facilitate an easy cleaning mechanism. So no more dirty hands simply turn the handle to activate the internal cleaning blades that separate solids from the Cypricube foams. Pressurised filtration without clogging or flow loss unique Cypricube foam filters effectively remove waste but do not clog like traditional foam filters. The Aquaforce 4000 is an extremely efficient filter and waterfall pump. The Aquaforce case incorporates an exclusive wildlife protection system; protecting small fish, newts and frogs from accessing the pump. The Wildlife Protection System reduces the risk of damage to common pond wildlife. For extra protection of species such as newts we recommend using an additional cage, available as a spare part.
