 Cloverleaf Particle Separation Systems
The Particle separator can be used as a single tank/bay in a stand alone situation (providing mechanical & biological filtration). Alternatively the PSS can be hooked into any existing pump-fed multi-bay filter system where it would replace any vortex bay - with any existing vortex then being converted into a biological bay/chamber. The key design concept of the PSS is to remove/trap suspended particles/solids from the water which would typically flow straight through many vortex bays and thus pollute any biological media. The PSS can be classified as a highly refined vortex unit, which of course means that any existing filter (or bays) require far less maintenance - meaning a greater biological bed is established.
Trapping of particles/solids is achieved via Cloverleaf's uniquely designed and manufactured long-life Particle Separation Media (PSM) which is retained in suspension at all times. When the PSM (media) becomes blocked it is time for it to be cleaned via the airstone ring; however any blockage, which is visually indicated by water flowing up through the central overflow, does not substantially reduce the flow rate through the rest of any filter system (where applicable) - so general flow rates/performance are never greatly restricted. Biological integrity of the PSM (media) is always fully maintained in that it is always ONLY ever cleaned via oxygen-rich mature pond water.
The PSS is available as a PSS1 (based upon Cloverleaf Compact Range VH2/1), together with the PSS2 (based upon the VH3/1) . These specific models are for stand-alone situations, or for use with a skimmer, or primarily for attaching to an existing multi-bay filter. In addition (as a special factory order) the PSS can be supplied integrated (to the first bay) within any of the pump-fed Cloverleaf Genesis Mark 2 range, plus the CL4.
A good air pump like Blagdon Koi Air 50/65 or Koi Pro Hi Blow 50 is needed with the PSS.
