What is a Sieve filter?
People popularly use Sieve filters as flow-through pre-filters in koi fish ponds, biological ponds, and water gardens.
The principle behind a sieve filter is simplistic and efficient. Direct the water from the bottom drain and skimmers over a curved sieve. The sieve helps in separating the debris from the koi pond water as it flows through.
Direct the prefiltered water from the sieve filter to the main filter via the pump, where further filtration occurs before returning to the pond.
Qualities of Sieve Filter
- Low-maintenance and space-saving filter
- Mechanical water treatment in garden ponds and natural swimming ponds.
- Effective oxygen enrichment
- Easy installation and maintenance.
- Reliably removes dirt particles> 300 μ.
- Energy and water-saving.
- Immediate removal of dirt and excrement from the pond water lowers nitrate and phosphate levels.
The sieve filter can be used to filter out a variety of debris according to the requirement. It is also very easy to change the sieves. in cases of Koi fish ponds normally sieves of 200 or 300 microns are used. i.e., 0.2 or 0.3 mm.
The sieve pre-filter is not self-cleaning, but it is very easy to maintain. Operate the provided slide valve to quickly wash away separated debris with minimal water loss.
Various ranges of sieve filters are available with us for the before-mentioned as the CompactSieve, MidiSieve, SmartSieve and UltraSieve.
Can the Sieve filter be used as a stand-alone filter?
A sieve is a typical mechanical filter only, it has no biological filtration capability.
Should the Sieve filter need to be installed above the water level?
For a gravity-fed system, install the Sieve filter level with the pond’s waterline. For a pump-fed system, place it above the waterline to avoid overflow.
What kind of filter systems works best with the Sieve filter?
The Sieve filter is suitable for use with both pressurised filters such as the Oc -1 filters by Certikan, Aquabiomine or K1 MicroBead.
It works just fine with non-pressurised filters such as the Nexus and rotating Drum Filters (RDF). You can use the Sieve filters with most filter brands by following the installation procedure outlined in the filter manual.
This filter has a real benefit: the sieve removes dirt from the water immediately. It works well if an auto-cleaning system is integrated.
