Filtration - Design Picture (Cont Part III)

Herewith, we would like to share with you the filtration design as I told you previously on Part III. Above picture consist of 4 (four) media chambers, however the number of chamber is flexible and depend on number of media that will be used. But at least you must have 3 (three) or 4 (four) media chambers.  

Chamber explanation:

(1)  On the right is 'dirty water chamber' as the first chamber where the water coming from..

(2)  The second 4 (four) chambers are the 'media chamber', where you put media inside.

(3) The sixth chamber is the 'clean water chamber' before being circulated back to the pond

(4) The last chamber is a 'flushing chamber' where you can use this chamber when you clean your filter media before being flushed out.

Pipe explanation:

(1) Connecting pipe from pond to 'dirty water chamber'

(2) Overflowing pipe from pond to 'dirty water chamber', so that water surface can be clear and free of foam

(3) The water flowing from 'dirty water chamber' to the 4 (four) 'media chambers' thru gravity flow (see arrows sign on the picture)

(4) Each chamber must have seperate direct flushing pipes to the 'flushing chamber', so it is very easy to clean. Any 'media chamber' can be cleaned any  time. Of course, you don't have to pull  your media out every time you want to clean your 'media chambers'
(5) In addition, you need direct flushing pipe from your pond to the 'flushing chamber'

(6) On the 'flushing chamber', you can use 5 (five) standing pipes from each direct flushing pipe to avoid the water flowing to the flushing chamber by using 'L Join'. Anytime you want to flush, you just simply pulling up the standing pipes on the flushing chamber.

L Join

 (7) You'd better using 2 submerged water pumps, one is being used for circulating back water to the pond and another one is dedicated for flushing purpose. You must select the best pump for circulating purpose since the pump must be running for 24 hours, but for flushing purpose depend on your budget.
