Savio Springflo Filtration
Media
Just as there are new and
easy care filtration systems, there are new and easy care filter
media. Springflo filter media
is made from a composite of polypropylene and calcium carbonate.
Springflo
is shaped into a thin ribbon embossed
with millions of dimples, providing a terrific
amount of surface area for the proliferation of our nitrifying
bacteria.
Buildup of debris is easily
dislodged by lifting the lightweight media out of, or swishing
it in the chamber and flushing the waste. Bacteria
will remain attached.
Non
clogging and lightness make Springflo very easy to
use. Twenty sq. yds. (180 sq.ft.) of Springflo weighs only about
4 pounds. One box of Springflo fills from 1.5 to 3.0 cubic feet
of space in a biofilter and is capable of nitrifying about one-half
pound of dry fish food (35% protein) per day. This equals a pond
with 25 pounds of fish (feeding the recommended 2% of body weight
per day).
