Aquatis Science Shark 35

The Shark 35 can meet the treatment needs varying from a very rich fish pond of 15 m3 to a natural water part of 35 m3 (more if additional to a lagoon). The addition of an AS UV S10 or 15 sterilizer and a Hi Blow HP 20 air pump (or more important if several ventilation points) are recommended. Comes complete with Shark Sieve 300, cover, substrates, fittings and valves.

How does filtration work? 

- A mechanical prefilter, the Shark Sieve, uncompromising with dirt, retains any visible waste (0.3 mm and more) thanks to a self-cleaning grid of 300 µ (1). This preliminary purification provides a second essential treatment to the water: the runoff leads to a phenomenon of super oxygenation essential to the bacteria in the filtration, which thus find their performance increased tenfold.

- After a second mechanical purification by brushes (2), then a passage on Biozeopond (3), the water passes through the Shark filter chambers which are filled with Biocerapond (4), a bacterial support with performances never equaled.

- The rooms are large and wide in order to favor decantation. The optimized flow allows natural biochemical exchanges carried out by the "good bacteria".

- The foot, unique, has been developed to collect decanted waste (6) which will be evacuated by the opening of a valve.

- An aeration device (5) is integrated (excluding the pump) in each model with more than two chambers in order to promote biochemical reactions (which consume a lot of oxygen) until the end of the journey.

The many advantages of the Shark:

Mechanical pre-filter 300 microns 

Easy Clean® notches to ensure proper positioning and facilitate easy brush cleaning.

Thanks to their superior quality, SHARK filters are self-supporting. They must therefore not be buried or supported by an external structure.

All the models are equipped with resistant covers (1 per chamber) in fiberglass provided for a long service life.

Manually made of 3 + 1 layer fiberglass: guaranteed resistance and proven over time. Gel coated on the inside (smoothed perfect to avoid adhesion of waste), top-coated on the outside.

The water path is optimized: low emptying, upflows, counter-current ventilation.

The other advantages are not to be overlooked:

- Incorporation of Biozeopond upstream of biological filtration (retention of nitro compounds) with creation of an anaerobic zone.

- Compact, thanks, among other things, to the use of the volume entirely reserved for filtration substrates.

- Water path studied and optimized thanks to several years of experience: double wall between the chambers ("Up Flow" to optimize filtration (circulation from bottom to top)), optimized decantation without loss of space (in the foot) , aeration against the current in the "Up Flow", ...

- Impossible overflow of Shark Sieve (overflow incorporated), removable ultra-fine self-cleaning grid, ...

- Except through the wall, no visible piercing (leakage impossible): the fixing accessories are machined in the thickness of the filter (screws, support bars, ...).

- Models 2 and more bedrooms: the first bedroom equipped with AS brushes, the 2nd and 3rd 100% from Biocerapond.

- Each settling chamber is equipped with a 50 mm outlet with a guillotine valve as standard.

- Notches for reinforcement of the bottom grids provided for loading with heavier substrates.

- Delivered ready to use, provided with all fittings, valves, substrates, covers, ...

Feature :

Inlet: 25 - 32 - 40 and 50 mm barbed fitting. PVC connection 2 '' possible but not supplied.

Models 60, 100 and 150 (3 chambers) are equipped with a counterflow ventilation in the upflow between chambers 2 and 3 (barbed fitting 16-18 mm).
