Description
Ontroducing the Tempest Filter from Evolution Aqua – a powerful polishing pond filter designed to deliver crystal-clear, healthy pond water. It works alongside any filtration system and comes with advanced K+ Media for enhanced mechanical and biological filtration.
Ideal for small ponds up to 5,000 liters (1,100 gallons), the Tempest is easy to install and clean, thanks to a patent-pending air siphon design. During cleaning, air mixes with the water, causing the K+ Media to agitate and release trapped debris, which is then flushed away.
K+ Media's mineral-infused design captures particles as small as one micron and speeds up filtration. For larger systems, multiple Tempest filters can be used inline for higher flow rates.
How The Tempest Works
Water is pumped up through the Tempest filter. The K+Media moves to the top of the filter, becoming a mechanical barrier that traps debris as it flows through the system. Waste is trapped in the K+Media until the cleaning cycle dislodges it and it gets flushed away.
With the pump turned off, slide valves closed, and waste valve open, air is drawn into the filter. As air and water mix inside the filter tube, the media starts to move chaotically, dislodging the trapped waste. Dirty water then exits the filter tube at the bottom via the waste line, leaving clean media.
Installation Examples
Tempest filters can be installed externally on a variety of set-ups, including gravity-fed. For best results the optimum flow rate is 5,000 LPH / 1,100 GPH / 1,320 US GPH. Maximum flow rate is 7,500 LPH / 1,650 GPH / 1,980 US GPH.
On larger systems that require a higher flow rate, multiple Tempest filters can be installed in a modular system.
