An Introduction to Fluid Bed Filters:

Only now in 2002 after considerable field and laboratory research can Cloverleaf offer the very best in Fluid Bed’s – assisted greatly by the unique specification of silica sand used, and which is known to offer superior bacteria colonisation than that achieved by coral sand and other common types.

Cloverleaf Fluid Bed’s are manufactured in 3 varying sizes, and are available in two designs –

• Pumped with gravity return
• Pumped with pressurised return.

They are well made - nicely finished and of course they work superbly .. and easy to install and control ... they have their own built in slide valve to enable you to set the desired flow rate... 

So if you need that additional biological filtration to enhance your own system without having to increase, or replace your existing filtration system .. then these Fluid Bed Filters are for you ... but please bear in mind that we do not recommend that a fluid bed filter should be the only biological filter on any given pond ..

These are designed to help 'boost' the biological side of any system and to help increase the stocking levels within that system ..
