| Task | Frequency | Details / Tips |
|---|---|---|
| Check Pressure Gauge | Weekly | Normal operating pressure is around 5 PSI. Backwash when gauge reaches 8–10 PSI. |
| Inspect Fittings | Weekly | Make sure hoses, unions, and clamps are tight. Look for leaks or drips. |
| Backwash the Filter | Every 2–4 Weeks (or as needed) | Perform blower rinse + backwash until sight glass runs clear. Increase frequency in summer or heavy fish load. |
| Inspect Bio Media | Annually | Open the tank lid. Bio media should look clean with some natural coating — do not scrub or replace. |
| Winterizing | End of Season | Drain tank completely, disconnect blower, store indoors if possible. |
| Spring Start-Up | Beginning of Season | Reconnect blower, inspect fittings, refill tank, and restart system. |
This filter uses genuine K1 Moving Bed Bio-Comb media — an advanced moving bed biofilter technology that continuously tumbles in water, exposing its large surface area to maximum oxygen and organic waste. This motion creates a stable, oxygen-rich biofilm that supports beneficial bacteria, naturally reducing ammonia, nitrites, and harmful compounds to improve water clarity and fish health. Unlike static filter media, K1 Bio-Comb is self-cleaning: the constant movement scrubs the media clean, resists clogging and channeling, and maintains optimal flow with minimal hands-on upkeep.
Each piece of K1 Bio-Comb media provides 950 m²/m³ of total surface area, with 500 m²/m³ of protected internal surface area — shielded from harsh currents and cleaning routines — giving nitrifying bacteria and higher organisms the ideal environment to thrive. The biological process converts fish waste into plant-ready nutrients, supporting a balanced ecosystem and allowing higher fish loads without requiring a larger filter system. Compatible with koi ponds, aquaponics, aquariums, and DIY or commercial fluidized bed filtration setups.
