The Package Solution To Tackle Pollution
 
Introduction To Cloverleaf Boxed Pond Filter Kits
New For 2006. Shopping around for a small quality pond filter with a suitable pump and UV clarifier to match is not an easy task for everyone, and with this in mind Cloverleaf have put together 3 different off the shelf system kits where components are fully compatible. Boxed sets include biological filter, submersible pump, UV clarifier, and valves (where applicable).

The CL1 and F20 Kits have the option of being supplied with standard high performance stainless steel UV's or alternatively the "Smartstart" stainless steel UV.

Boxed sets are designed to give peace of mind, but equally as important to provide sound design and very good value for money. To those new to the hobby of pond keeping it may seem as though the water flow paths through the CL1 and F20 filter kits are complex, but it is this complexity of skilful design which retains the water within the filter for the longest possible time (known technically as contact time). Long “contact times” means that the biological mediums have a better chance of performing their function.


General details such as filter dimensions can be found elsewhere within the site.

Below - CL1 System Filter Set
 

 

 Boxed set comprises of the CL1V multi bay Filter (from the skilfully designed "CL" range), with a 5000 Lph low wattage submersible Turbo Pump together with 15watt or 24watt stainless steel UV Clarifier. Suitable for Koi Ponds up to 1,250 gallons (5,625 litres) or Goldfish ponds up to 2,500 gallons maximum (11,250 litres).

As can be seen in the drawing the filter comprises of 4 bays (cloverleaf in shape), with pumped water entering the first bay (vortex), and thereafter taking a series of up and down flows through the remaining bays. The function of the brushes bay is to remove major solid particles which have not dropped out of suspension whilst travelling in the vortex bay. The Japanese matting bay serves a dual purpose of trapping tiny particles, but also as a biological bed. Finally the 3 foam layers to the last bay act to filter out very tiny particles before the clear water flows down through the “Aquarock” bay which forms the main biological bed.

 Boxed set comprises of the popular and skilfully designed F20 De Luxe BioClear Multi Chamber Filter, with a 5000 Lph low wattage submersible Turbo Pump together with 15watt or 24watt stainless steel UV Clarifier. Suitable for Koi Ponds up to 1,200 gallons (5,350 litres) or Goldfish ponds up to 2,200 gallons (9,800 litres).

As seen in the drawing of the “F20”  the spraybar from the pump discharges into Bay 1 with its mechanical nylon brushes, with the water thereafter upflowing through Bay 3 with its biological “flocore” medium – following which the water downflows into Bay 2 (the central bay) travelling through the 3 layers of foam and the high performance biological “Aquarock” medium before returning to the pond.
 
Below - F4 System Filter Set

This budget package is ideal for the small fish pond or ornamental pond. The boxed set comprises of the F4 Bio Clear Filter with built in "Smartstart" 24 watt UV Clarifier, together with a 1,100 Lph Turbo Pump. Suitable for Goldfish ponds up to 500 gallons (2250 litres).
 

As can be seen in the diagrammatic section the F4 is based upon a downflow box design offering simplicity and ease of maintenance. Mechanical filtration of solids is via 3 layers of aquatic foam, with "Aquarock" acting as the biological media.
