Installation
The
Emperor Aquatics Inc. Fluidized Bed Bio Filter featuring our
exclusive “U Design” is extremely dependable but must
be installed as demonstrated in the above diagram. We suggest
that these filters be operated using a dedicated pump rather
than in conjunction with other filters. Water exiting the fluidized
bed filter may be returned directly to the sump or passed through
a re-air tower. Installing true union ball valves before the
suction and after the discharge of the pump is recommended with
all applications.
Special Comments
Do not install or operate our fluidized bed filters inline
with any type of mechanical filtration.
For dependable operation we suggest a dedicated pump be used
with our fluidized be filters.
We recommend a 1 mm silica sand or garnet be used as the biological
media.
When sizing a pump to operate our fluidized bed filters, use
our recommended flow rate @ 10 feet of head pressure. Example
: COM5002 would require a feed pump capable of at least 18 gpm
@ 10 ft. of head pressure. Over sizing the pump a bit and cutting
back on the discharge with a valve is recommended.
