How Tempest works and cleans
Water is pumped up through the Tempest filter. The K+Media moves to the top of the filter, becoming a mechanical barrier that traps debris as it flows through the system. Waste is trapped
in the K+Media until the cleaning cycle dislodges it and it gets flushed away.
Easy to clean
With the pump turned off, slide valves closed, and waste valve open, air is drawn into the filter. As air and water mix inside the filter tube, the media starts to move chaotically, dislodging the trapped waste. Dirty water then exits the filter tube at the bottom via the waste line, leaving clean media.
Installation examples
Tempest filters can be installed on a variety of set-ups.
On larger systems that require a higher flow rate, multiple Tempest filters can be installed in a modular system.
K+Media – Advanced Filtration
K+Media is designed and manufactured by Evolution Aqua. This advanced media, with its innovative design and class leading surface area provides enhanced biological and mechanical filtration. As Evolution Aqua extrude the K+Media, minerals and enzymes are added to the raw material.
The result of this process, unique to Evolution Aqua, is
a filtration media that not only outperforms most of its competitors due to its large protected surface area, but also answers the problem of how to speed up the time taken to mature your filter.
■ Class leading total surface area 1350m2 per m3
■ Vast protected surface area 1025m2 per m3
■ Filters mature faster with K+Media
■ Minerals incorporated into each piece during extrusion ■ Unique design for stable bio-film development
■ Exceptional solids removal
