The NEW Tempest Filter is an innovative polishing system for ponds.
The Tempest Filter uses Evolution aqua' s latest filtration media, K+ Media, to deliver crystal clear, healthy water.
Designed to be used in conjunction with any filtration system, the Tempest Filter offers additional mechanical and biological filtration. The Tempest Filter can be installed on a variety of set-ups and can be used on quarantine systems or as a standalone filter on smaller ponds up to 5,000 Litres / 1,100 Gallons.

How It 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 though the system. Waste is trapped in the K+ Media until the cleaning cycle dislodges it and gets flushed away.
Easy to clean
With the pump turned off, slide the valves closed, and with the 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 any trapped waste. the dirty water will then exit the filter tube at the bottom via the waster pipe, leaving the clean media.
