Hozelock Saturn Booster Pre-Filter Code: 1560 Unique auto-cleaning mechanical pre-filter. The Saturn Filtration Boosters have undergone rigorous testing both at Hozelock's R&D facilities in the UK and on a variety of ponds throughout the world over the last two years. The Saturn Filtration Booster will deliver a major reduction in the cleaning of almost any pond filter. Unique Auto Cleaning Technology Dirty water from the pond is pumped into the Saturn Booster and spun around a circular polyester gauze filter. Particles are trapped by the filter gauze and then removed by a rotating jet, which is located inside the filter to constantly clean the filter (from the inside). Dislodged particles fall into a large debris collection area at the bottom of the unit. Clean water passes through to the existing biological filter. Boosting Water Purity The introduction of the unique Saturn Booster allows the existing filter to operate as a far more effective biological filter, which 'boosts' the removal of harmful soluble pollutants. This improved water purity 'boosts' the health and activity of the fish and also allows more fish to be safely introduced to the pond. Toxic waste is continuously removed from the pond and stored away from the flow of the water to avoid further water contamination. Significantly Reducing Maintenance The sludge collects at the base of the product and is easily removed by raising the 'flush-away' handle without getting wet or dirty hands. Being pressurised by the pond pump, the sludge can be pumped uphill to a drain. The inclusion of the self-cleaning Saturn Booster will significantly reduce the maintenance of the existing filter. The Saturn Booster can be partially buried and sited next to the pond and be used in conjunction with nearly all pump fed filter systems. Unique Auto-Cleaning Technology Dirty water from the pond is pumped into the Saturn Booster and spun around a polyester gauze filter. Large particles are trapped by the gauze filter as water passes through it. A rotating jet spray, located inside the Saturn Booster, constantly cleans the gauze from the inside. The particles, washed off the gauze by the rotating jet collect at the bottom of the unit. Saturn filtration ensures no more wet and dirty hands when removing the waste, simply pull the ergonomic flush-away handle without getting wet or dirty hands. Self-Regulating Filter Saturn filtration - Includes an innovative self-regulating pressure sensitive valves allow the filter to continue operating even in the harshest pond environments.
