Kaldnes
K3 media
is similar in application to Kaldnes K1 media, in that the constant
chaotic movement of the air from your pump causes the media to self-clean
and thus requires no maintenance. |
K3
media is different than K1 media, as it is designed to
be used in the retrofitting of existing filters bays, or DIY filters,
as the slightly larger media size allow for easier configuration
and control.

Kaldnes  Moving
Bed™ process, which has been scientifically tried and tested in fish
farming and waste water treatment for over 10 years, is now available for
fish keepers and is exclusively distributed worldwide by Evolution Aqua.
The media is engineered in a wheel shape and is slightly positively bouyant.
This allows a small amount of water flow to circulate the media throughout
the vessel. This flow is created with your air pump and air stones or diffuser
etc. |

| What
is meant by ‘self cleaning’ ? |
|
Unlike foam, matting, or other forms of static filtration media, the
Kaldnes K1/K3 media is designed to move freely within your filter.
The constant chaotic movement of the air from your pump, causes the
media to self clean and thus requires no maintenance. This allows
the filter to reach optimum effectiveness without the disturbance
of periodic cleaning, avoiding unnecessary loss of bacteria within
the filter. |
