Product information "KoiPro Bacteria House filter medium"
KoiPro Bacteria House 24 pieces – filter medium
KoiPro Bacteria House is a highly porous ceramic filter medium for koi ponds, trickle filters and Bakki Shower. The 24 filter elements provide ample surface area for beneficial filter bacteria to colonise and help maintain stable water quality.
KoiPro Bacteria House filter medium is a highly porous, ceramic filter material for koi ponds and garden ponds. The fine pore structure provides a large surface area for beneficial filter bacteria to colonise, which play an important role in breaking down pollutants such as ammonium/ammonia and nitrite. As a result, the filter medium supports stable biological filtration performance in the pond.
Bacteria House has a water absorption rate of 80 %. Thanks to the microscopically small pores, bacteria can colonise the material quickly and break down organic pollutants in the pond water. At the same time, the porous structure also acts mechanically, as coarser organic debris is retained and can be further broken down during the filtration process.
The filter medium is particularly well suited to Bakki Shower / trickle filters, but can also be used in other pond filters. One pack contains 24 ceramic filter elements, each approximately 38 × 38 mm thick and 160 mm long.

Instructions for use
Before first use, briefly rinse the filter medium with pond water or clear water to remove any loose debris. Then place the Bacteria House elements in the filter so that they are well flushed or sprayed by the water. They are particularly effective when used in trickle filters or Bakki Shower systems, as there is plenty of oxygen available for the filter bacteria there.
Zoo Roco Tip
Biological filter media work best when they are well supplied with oxygen and the pond filter is running continuously. After initial installation, the medium takes some time for sufficient filter bacteria to colonise it. During this running-in phase, water parameters should be checked regularly.
