Introduction To  Cloverleaf PSS:
  PSS brings about a major re-think to all pond keepers/hobbyists who acknowledge the proven virtues of multi-bay filter systems, and the importance of water clarity.

 
In brief Cloverleaf’s innovative but uncomplicated design for the PSS (Particle Separation System) can as a single tank/bay be used in a stand alone situation (providing mechanical & biological filtration), and will also make a superb filter if attached to a skimmer. Alternatively the PSS can be hooked into any existing pump fed multi-bay filter system where it can  replace any vortex bay - with any existing vortex thus  being converted into a bona-fide biological bay/chamber.  
In addition the PSS can be incorporated within several existing Cloverleaf multi bay models from the Genesis Mk2 or Professional CL range (pump feed only). In the future it is anticipated that the PSS will be standard on many Cloverleaf filters,  PSS is the future.


The key design concept of the PSS is to remove/trap suspended particles/solids from the water which would typically flow straight through many vortex bays and thus pollute any biological media. This is especially the case in that small diameter vortex units are not the ultimate in efficiency.
 In brief then, the PSS can be classified as a highly refined vortex unit, which of course means that any existing filter (or bays) require far less maintenance - also meaning a greater biological bed is established.
 
Trapping of particles/solids is achieved via Cloverleaf’s uniquely designed and manufactured long life Particle Separation Media (PSM) which is retained in suspension at all times. When the PSM (media) becomes blocked it is time for it to be cleaned via the airstone ring, however any blockage which is visually indicated by water flowing up through the central overflow does not substantially reduce the flow rate through the rest of any filter system (where applicable) - so general flow rates/performance are never greatly restricted. Biological integrity of the PSM (media) is always fully maintained in that it is always ONLY ever cleaned via oxygen rich mature pond water.

Although Cloverleaf have experimented with numerous existing floating media available, various shortcomings led to the decision for the company to invest in costly tooling  in order to manufacture the PSM media at its factory - with the media design being based on that used by a UK national water supply utility company.
 
To summarise, the PSS is British at its best and offers a better pond environment and less pond maintenance at a price that can only be described as most reasonable.  The Cloverleaf design concept is not  based on having to rip out and cast aside any existing filtration system, as the option  exists to retain an existing pump fed system if desired.
 
Please note air pumps are not supplied as part of the PSS, but Cloverleaf’s C82 Air Pump is great for the job. In addition the PSS can be incorporated within several existing Cloverleaf multi bay models from the Genesis Mk2 or Professional CL range (pump feed only). It is anticipated that the PSS will be standard on many Cloverleaf filters,
PSS is the future.

Cleaning of the media is achieved via the following easy steps:
(1) Close isolation valve on PSS bay
(2) Switch off submersible pump
(3) Activate air ring/air pump for several minutes
(4) Turn off air pump
(5) Immediately open PSS bay waste valve to discharge foul water
(6) Wipe top perforated plate in bay with a few sheets of kitchen roll paper
(7) Re-activate system

Do not clean the PSS unnecessarily. Only do so when the overflow is seen to be operational. If PSS1 or PSS2 is connected into an existing multi bay filter system and the media to that system requires cleaning then also close the isolating valve on the PSS first in order to prevent foul water from running back to the pump.

Please make reference to the diagram and adjacent photo for an understanding of how all PSS filters are constructed.

The PSS1 and PSS2 models are stand alone modules based on Cloverleaf’s existing VH2/1 and VH3/1 pumped fed “Compact Range” filter units. As mentioned above, both these filters can be used in various applications including solely on their own, linked to a surface skimmer device, or connected into an existing pump fed multi bay filtration system. On the latter setup any existing vortex bay should thereafter be converted into a biological bed.

Refer to adjacent diagram for reference on connecting a PSS module into an existing pump fed multi bay filter.

 New Innovative Design, State of the Art technology

In a four chamber system, the first chamber consists of a PSS system, the second and third chambers, contain jap mat, and the fourth chamber the active  bed system.
The active bed system  increases the amount of living  bacteria in the filter, which in turn  exponentially improves the biological breakdown of fish waste and organic residue. This therefore allows the pond keeper to use a smaller sized filter, for a larger volume of water.
