The BioSmart Gravity Filter is a multi-stage mechanical and biological filtration system in a compact package, designed for medium ponds or for ponds with moderate biological load (some fish).
During biological filtration, the water is channeled through a series of filter foams that create a special environment by allowing the settling of beneficial bacteria. During this stage, harmful ammonia and nitrites are converted to nitrates, which support plant life in the pond. Features a built-in cleaning mechanism that does not require removal of the filter foams during maintenance.

The biological cleaning
The polluted water is fed into the filter system with the help of an Aquamax filter pump. The optimised filter surfaces trap the pollution particles and thus clean the pond mechanically.
Additionally, the filter develops the all important biological environment to enable the nitrification in oxygen-rich conditions (blue and red filter foams). During this process toxic nitrite compounds are converted into other harmless compounds.
Biosmart furthermore offer the required volume and a sufficiently large filter surface area for the second stage of the decomposition of nitrite compounds, the denitrification (green filter foams). Here, in an oxygen poor area, micro-organisms help to convert the end product of the nitrification process into gaseous nitrogen which can escape from the pond.
