MPF Filter Systems for Ponds, Koi Ponds, and Swimming Ponds

Why Choose an MPF Filter?

• Very clear pond without having to clean the filter daily.
• Strong and durable motor (210Nm) especially suitable for MPF filters.
• Assembly takes place in our factory in the Netherlands.
• High-quality components such as industrial electronics, industrial components and stainless steel 316 materials.
• Extra strong connection in and out due to unique welding connection.
• MPF filters are designed, tested, and manufactured in-house.
• We know the product very well and continue to develop and innovate our filters.

All plates are milled with our Biesse Skill milling machine. The 110mm inputs and outputs are plastered. This ensures that the connection becomes much stronger compared to a welded pipe. Pipes that are welded to a polypropylene (PP) plate can burst more easily, with all the consequences that entails. Two bypass feedthroughs in the drum wall ensure that the filter continues to work in case of calamities and that the biological part at the Biodrum is killed.

The filter comes standard with a 2-year warranty (excl. filterscreen).

CUSTOMIZATION

MPF produces and assembles all its filter systems in-house. This makes customization possible in almost any shape. All PP material is milled with our own CNC milling machine.

All our filter systems are invented and designed by ourselves. This allows us to easily deliver custom work in almost any desired size and shape. Several customers have already preceded you who have had a specially designed drum filter, multi-chamber filters, filter chamber, etc. custom made by us.

FILTER PLACEMENT

The MPF filters can be placed both gravity and pump fed.

Gravity:

We always advise to set up the filter in gravity. The filter is placed at water level and will then protrude approximately 11-14 cm above the water level. Because of gravity, your filter fills up with water. A pond pump moves the water from your filter back to the pond.

Pump fed:

If a pump-fed system is chosen, there are a few things to consider. First, pump fed systems have less capacity. Take into account a loss of at least 30%. For example, a Biodrum 100 can handle a maximum of 50m3 per hour in gravity setup, and a pump fed system a maximum of 35m3. The biological part will also not be completely filled with water, so less biological material will be able to enter. Our advice is to always go for a gravity system.

CONTROL PANEL

Through years of testing and innovation, MPF has developed 2 types of controls for their drum and combi filters: The industrial MPF controller and the MPF professional drum control.

MPF CONTROLLER:

Supplied as standard with every Drumfilter or Biodrum.

• The pond pump stops when the water level is too low and switches on again when the water level in the pond is raised.
• Provides automatic rinses
• Industrial Relays
• Industrial electronics cabinet in a compact housing
• Manual rinsing by push button
• Digital display

DRUM UV CONNECTIONS.

Each MPF filter is equipped with one or two Drum-UV inputs. This makes it easy to place an MPF Drum UV by means of a rubber coupling.

WASTE CHUTE AUTO FLUSHING SYSTEM.

A built-in waste chute flush ensures that the chute is cleared of the dirt lying in the waste chute. Sometimes, for example, leaves or twigs remain in the waste chute and the spray nozzles do not spray this away properly.

MPF has devised a system that makes it easy to flush away this contamination. By means of a tap, you can easily flush away the fill lying in the gutter. The tap is connected to the built-in flushing pump. You can flush the drum manually by keeping the button pressed on the MPF controller or by pressing the green button of MPF Professional Drum control once. If you open the tap, the gutter will be flushed. You can also choose to always open the tap so that the gutter is automatically flushed when the drum filter is cleaned (automatic flushing cycle).

SILICONE SEAL: UV RESISTANT AND BETTER RESISTANT TO CONTAMINATION

One of the most striking features of MPF's new silicone seal is its UV resistance. By placing a UV resistant ring on the silicone ring, the silicone band is protected against UV light. The durability against UV radiation prevents degradation and significantly extends the life of the seal, resulting in less maintenance and replacements in the long term.

PP SCREEN WITH STAINLESS STEEL 120MICRON

MPF screens are characterized by their extreme strength and durability thanks to an innovative fusion of stainless steel mesh with the PP material.

Material: Advanced polypropylene combined with stainless steel mesh for long life and resistance to wear.

Available in 120 (STANDARD) and 70 and 40 micron.

MOTORS

The motors that turn the drum are known for their industrial reliability and high performance.

The MPF motors deliver an impressive 210 Nm of torque, significantly higher than many other brands. This ensures powerful and consistent operation, even under tough conditions.

The motors are equipped with a centered mounting system, which prevents deformation and leakage. This extends the service life and ensures efficient operation.

OPTIONS

Various additional options are available at an additional cost.

PROFESSIONAL DRUM CONTROL

This electronics with Siemens Logo 8 control and a built-in 20A relay is a new generation logic module that is suitable for every customer requirement and is extremely reliable.

Completely freely adjustable. Many possibilities to expand to control the drum according to your wishes.

WIDE WASTE CHUTE 50m3 systems

A wide gutter may not seem like such a big difference, but it can have many advantages for your pond. It is a small difference that can solve many problems, if you have to deal with a lot of filamentous algae and/or a lot of leaf fall. This can often cause a normal gutter to become clogged up. Hence MPF's solution: the wide gutter! With this, a clogged gutter is a thing of the past.

HIGH CAPACITY SPRAY NOZZLES

These black nozzles have a higher water release than the standard blue ones. The black nozzles exert a higher water force on the cloth. As a result, the filter cloth is rinsed clean better. The gutter will also stay cleaner because more water is delivered by the nozzles. Less dirt will be left in the gutter.

ENGINE COVER

To protect your engine from rain and weather. A customized engine cover made of PP material.

Approx. dimensions: 320x220x300mm / 460x220x400mm (L x W x H).

PIN SENSOR OR FLOAT SWITCH

You can equip this filter with a float switch (standard) or a Pin sensor/switch (Option). A sensor has no moving parts and will fail less quickly. If you have a lot of pollution or a lot of snails, this is a good option compared to a float switch. Please note: the pin sensor is only available in combination with the Professional Drum Control. This option is not available for the standard drum controller.

DRUMFILTERS

A drum filter is a pre-filter that can easily filter very fine pollution from a water stream.

A drum filter guides the dirty water through a drum sieve/screen. The screen is fitted on a drum that can rotate, similar to a washing machine. If the screen is dirty, it is sprayed clean with a few pressure sprayers, whereby the dirty water runs out of the system.

The filter continuously measures the water level on the “clean” side of the drum with a float switch. At a certain point, the screen is polluted and will let less water through. This lowers the water level on the other side of the drum. As soon as it is too low, the float switch detects that and the drum will rotate one or more circles. A pressure pump and a number of nozzles spray will clean the screen. The dirt runs out of the filter through a waste chute.

It is advisable to let this drain flow into a container, after which it overflows into the sewer. Connecting directly to the sewer can lead to clogging. After all, in the spring we can filter large plugs of filamentous algae out of the water.

The water consumption of the drum filter is low due to the high pressure used for cleaning. However, it is advisable to always top up the pond with a float valve. The water that is refreshed with this can be considered negligible. It is therefore not wise to include this in the weekly refresh. However, it depends on the settings whether you rinse the drum at a height difference of 1 cm or at 10 cm. The smaller the allowed difference, the more often it will flush and therefore the more water is consumed.

BIODRUM / COMBI FILTERS

MPF Biodrum/combi filters are equipped with an ingenious drum filter technology, and a moving bed system for optimal water movement and filtration. These filters combine a drum and moving bed filter in a compact housing.

The polluted pond water first flows into the collection chamber. The second chamber houses a drum filter and provides mechanical filtration. An air saucer / stone is installed at the bottom of the third chamber to be connected to an external air pump. This ensures that there is movement in the third chamber. This chamber will have to be filled to a maximum of 70% of the content with moving bed material (for example Helix). After a few weeks, bacteria will settle on this moving bed material to filter the water biologically. Because the material is constantly in motion, no dirt will accumulate, the material stays clean and requires no more maintenance!

The filter consists of high-quality materials such as stainless steel and PP and aims to guarantee perfect water quality in a simple and reliable way.

An internal flushing pump is standard on the MPF Biodrum 50, 80, 100, 120, 100XL, 120, Rotator filters and the Drum 200.

The MPF drum filters (Drum 30/50/100) come with an external flushing pump from Oase with a 3-year warranty. There is the option to have an internal flushing pump built into the Drum 50 and 100.

BIODRUMROTATOR

The MPF Biodrum Rotator is MPF's top model among the Biodrum filters! This model is a major upgrade over a standard Biodrum. The moving bed has been replaced here by Japanese mats and a Rotating Biological Drum (RBC). The RBC is standard filled with Helix as a biologist, with a cassette of Japanese mats underneath! This can also be filled with other biological material if desired.

The RBC is a rotating trickle / drip filter concept that requires no head from the pump! The RBC is 40% under water, and 60% above water for maximum oxygen saturation. The big secret of this design is that oxygen can contain up to 4% * in water and 20% in air. This gives the pond bacteria the best conditions to perform their work efficiently.

The rotating movement of the RBC ensures that a trickle / drop filter is created without a lift head. The industrial motor of 250nM of 60 watts turns the RBC.

Ammonia and nitrite removal:

Scientific studies in fish farming have shown that an RBC guarantees a very high ammonia and nitrite removal, 50% better than trickle filters and many times better than moving bed filters!

A ROTATOR CAN FEED 4X MORE THAN A MOVING BED WITH THE SAME AMOUNT OF BIOMEDIUM! THERE ARE 100 LITERS IN A MOVING BED? THIS IS COMPARED TO 25 LITERS IN A ROTATOR!

ADVANTAGES:

• Better biological effect
• No more head compared to a trickle filter
• 2x as efficient as a moving bed
• Faster start-up than a moving bed
• No cooling in winter compared to trickle filters
• No noise
• More stable bacterial culture with use of medication and changing water values
• No need for an air pump anymore
• Water is of better quality
• You can feed more

BIODRUM GRAVITY TRICKLE

After the development of the Biodrum Rotator, MPF has again developed a unique and innovative design for the pond market. The Biodrum Gravity Trickle!

A combination of a drum filter as a pre-filter with a tricklefilter /bakki shower behind it that can be set up in gravity.

The unique concept of the Biodrum Gravity Trickle is the gravity setup. All trickle filters must be installed above water level, which is often an aesthetic problem and is not energy saving!

With a special designed water level regulator, the water flows on the upper drip plate. As a result, the water is optimally distributed over the underlying material. This water level controller ensures that the water level remains regardless of the capacity of the pond pump.

This design creates the best pre-filtration through the drum filter and the best biological cleaning through the trickle section. The water breaks continuously and at a high rate, which means that the oxygen uptake in the water is enormous. As a result, there is continuous outgassing of ammonium and Co2. And so the Biodrum Gravity Trickle produces better water quality and healthy koi.

'A BIODRUM GRAVITY TRICKLE CAN PROCESS 2.5X AS MUCH FEED THEN A MOVING BED WITH THE SAME AMOUNT OF BIOMEDIUM!'

ADVANTAGES :

• Better biological effect
• ENERGY SAVING!
• Can be placed GRAVITY
• Rapid startup of biology
• Clear water
• Stable bacterial culture
• No more air pump needed
• Very oxygen-rich way of filtering
• Outgassing of ammonia by large amounts of oxygen and splashing water
• Little to no maintenance
• Can process 2.5x as much feed as a moving bed

TRICKLE FILTERS

Trickle filters effectively convert harmful, dissolved waste products (such as proteins, ammonium, nitrite, etc.) in the pond water into harmless compounds.

The water enters the top of the inflow tray where it is distributed over 1 spray tube. Below that, the segments are placed, which have a perforated bottom through which the water flows easily.

A trickle filter consists of several floors, provided with filter medium (not included) of possibly different types. These are often stacked trays, each with a layer of medium. The water is pumped up to the top floor with a pond pump. There the water sprays out of a tube with perforated holes, so that the water is evenly distributed over the top layer.

The drip units are filled by you with a filter material of your choice. An optimum oxygen saturation of the water is thus achieved. Due to the excess of oxygen, there is hardly any oxygen deficiency in the pond, even during the warm periods of the year.

To facilitate the use of a trickle filter in combination with MPF Biodrums, MPF has precisely tailored the trickle filters to connect seamlessly to MPF Biodrums.

Thanks to the customization that MPF provides, you can also choose any desired size in consultation.

OPTIONS FOR TRICKLE FILTERS

Optionally, the spouts can also be ordered with a 110 mm outlet or with a waterfall out. This allows you to easily place the filter next to your pond.

VERDEELUNITS VOOR TRICKLE FILTER

Distribution units are designed to distribute water evenly across the filter media. This balanced distribution is essential for maximising filtration efficiency and ensuring the clarity and health of the pond water.

The efficiency of a DISTRIBUTION UNIT / distribution tank compared to a spray tube is remarkable; it provides a saving of up to 25% on pump power. This means that when using a spray tube, the pump has to be running at full power to get the same amount of water through the filter as when using a distribution tank at only 75% power.

Another significant advantage of the distribution tank is the water distribution. The water spreads out completely over the layer below, which ensures an even distribution. In addition, the use of a distribution tank does not reduce the biological volume of the Trickle filter and adds extra oxygen to the upper layer thanks to the holes provided.

MPF MOVING BED TURBO BACTERIA

Specially developed for Moving Bed filters and Biological filters that start up slowly. Multiplication of the bacteria from 5°C. Six carefully selected bacterial strains compete against harmful bacteria and (pathogenic) fungi. The Turbo Start bacteria secrete various enzymes and EPS. The EPS deposits, among other things, on the carrier material in the biological filter and on the pond walls. The bacteria release antibodies against harmful organisms and are immune to certain chemical substances, for example potassium permanganate. The bacteria also ensure faster breakdown of ammonium and nitrite. The Enzyme Peroxidase helps to break down thread algae and ensures clear and healthy pond water and reduced stress in fish.

In MPF's opinion, the best start-up bacteria available on the market! Also the best product to remove nitrite!

Verry high concentrated! 6 times as much as MPF micro bacteria

1 kg good for 50,000 liters of pond water

PF MICRO BACTERIA

For starting up moving bed filters behind high-quality drum filters in combination with MPF Pond Booster and MPF Enzyme booster.

Operation:

The cysts of the Micro Bacteria burst open releasing the spores. The spores consist of a cortex shell containing genetic material. When the cortex breaks open, the genetic material comes out in the form of heterotrophic bacteria. These heterotrophic bacteria (Bacillis Subtillis sp.p.) start to grow. The growth rate depends on the nutrient medium present and the ambient temperature. The bacteria then secrete various enzymes and EPS. The EPS deposits, among other things, on the carrier material in the biological filter and on the pond walls. Specially selected bacterial strains to make moving bed filters start faster.

Usage advice:

Dosage per 10,000 liters of pond water: 100 grams of Micro Bacteria, 100 ml of Pond Booster and 100 ml of Enzyme Booster

Inhoud: 1 kg
