| Quick Introduction To All Cloverleaf Product Ranges: | |||
| Designed and manufactured in Britain the superb “Cloverleaf” filter range has something to offer to all groups of hobbyists and specialist Koi keepers who seek quality and performance. Each range of products described below is covered by separate web pages (providing greater detail), but the data below will briefly outline what is available together with the designated usage. | |||
| Below: ADTEC Multi Bay Filtration Systems: | |||
|
The ADTEC range is best
described as advanced technology incorporated into a multi bay filter,
with such significant improvements being available as an option to all
pump fed CL Professional range of filters, and all pump fed filters in
the Genesis Mk 2 range. Fundamental design features of ADTEC filters involve a floating media to the standard vortex bay which through performance offers superior mechanical protection to other biological mediums within the filter. This system is known as PSS (Particle Separation System), which can be briefly classified as a highly refined vortex - albeit that the Cloverleaf designed media does also have first class biological properties. For further details see "New PSS Filter Range" section. |
||
| Below: CL Professional Multi Bay Filtration Systems: | |||
 |
The “CL
Professional” range is available in 5 sizes and configurations, and is
the system which has enjoyed an international reputation from dedicated
enthusiastic Koi keepers around the globe. Flexibility is offered with
systems being either gravity or pump fed, and very large ponds can
easily be managed through multi tank setups. All units incorporate a
first vortex bay, with carefully designed mechanical and biological
filtration mediums to the remaining bays. Maintenance is based upon user
ease and simplicity. For further details see "Professional CL Range" section |
||
| Below: Genesis Multi Bay Filtration Systems: | |||
 |
The
“Genesis” range of multi bay in-line filtration systems are
available in 3 sizes, and whilst generally emulating the design concept
and standards of the “CL” range they are better suited to the mixed
ornamental pond, or Koi pond where high fish loads are not present. Yet
again the system can be installed in tandem, or in addition can make a
super secondary system when connected to a skimmer unit. For certain the
well engineered “Genesis” range is not a poor relation to anything,
and can happily stand scrutiny and evaluation in comparison to many
other leading manufacturers products. For further details see "Genesis Range" section |
||
| Below: Genesis Mk II Multi Bay Filtration Systems: | |||
 |
If President
George Bush wished to purchase a filtration system it’s believed he
would greatly appreciate the “battleship” construction of the
“Genesis II” range. Although these multi bay systems are only
available in 4 standard sizes, they can be manufactured in numerous
"one
off" configuration to suite the customers specifications (with mediums as
required). The “Genesis II” range will withstand direct land
backfilling, and yet again can be pump or gravity fed. Standard design
includes a vortex to the first bay, with a choice of mechanical and
biological mediums to the remaining bays. This range shouts out top
quality. For further details see "Genesis Mk ll Range" section |
||
| Below: BioCone 4 | |||
 |
Cloverleaf
“BioCone 4” (size 1200mm high x 780mm diameter) has been especially
manufactured for commercial projects or trade specialists only
(see Commercial Projects). This unit may be configured in numerous multi
bay designs up to 8 bays. For further details please telephone "Cloverleaf Office" |
||
| Below: Particle Seperation System (PSS Filter): | |||
|
The PSS
is to set to bring 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). Alternatively the PSS can be hooked into any existing pump fed multi-bay filter system where it would replace any vortex bay - with any existing vortex then being converted into a bona-fide biological bay/chamber. 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. 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 - meaning a greater biological bed is established. This is surely a great asset ? For further details see "PSS Filter Range" section |
||
| Below: Pond Filter Kits: | |||
 |
Beyond time
and research not everyone is able to match a filter with a suitable pump
and UV clarifier, and with this in mind Cloverleaf offer a package
solution via boxed “Pond Filter Sets” which not only removes any
guesswork on selection, but importantly offers well designed quality components at a
competitive and attractive price. For sure this is just what the
beginner or small pond owner needs and rightly deserves. The three “Pond Filter Sets” available are based on Cloverleaf’s existing range of pumped water supply filters which include the F4 and F20 (from the “Bio Clear” range), together with the CL1 (from the “Professional” range). The CL1 and F20 kits are supplied with a stainless steel UV clarifier, and all kits incorporate Cloverleaf’s latest “Turbo Pumps”. For further details see "Boxed Pond Filter Kits" section |
||
| Below: Compact Integral Vortex Filter Range: | |||
 |
The “Compact” range is
available in 3 different sizes, and is identified by type through its
unique design of making use of an integral open cavity thus forming the
advantages of a vortex – where of course solids and particles drop out
of suspension (through spinning) before passing through the mechanical
and biological mediums. The range (subject to size) is suitable for
ornamental ponds, or Koi ponds where the fish load is small. Although
only available as a pumped supply these units are also ideal as a
secondary filter connected to a surface skimmer. As with all Cloverleaf
filters maintenance is easy, and construction quality is first class.
For certain the “Compact” range (with its very small footprint) is
frequently overlooked by many hobbyists, but this is a mistake. For further details see "Compact Series" section |
||
| Below: Bio Clear Budget Filter Range: | |||
 |
Within the
constraints of small budget filter systems the “Bio Clear” range
still has its design roots of achieving good water flows and separation
of biological and mechanical filtration mediums (see F20 model).
Available in 6 configurations the “Deluxe” range incorporates
a UV clarifier with the spraybar (providing aeration), and all are best
suited to the ornamental or goldfish pond – or instances where very
small fish loads are applicable. In the value for money stakes the
“Bio Clear” range can hold its head up high in comparison to that
offered by its trading competitors. For further details see "Bio Clear Range" section |
||
| Below: Combo DeLuxe Multi Bay Vegetable Filter | |||
 |
Making the
best from known research of vegetable filters reducing nitrates, and
thus greatly helping to reduce algae’s (especially blanket weed),
Cloverleaf have combined such attributes into a small 5 stage multi bay
filter thereby offering the best of both worlds. Key features of design
are the quality of mechanical and biological mediums used together with
a desired up and down water flow pattern through the unit – all making
for a somewhat unique system that only needs a major service once a
year. Plants are not supplied, but an adequate quantity of lightweight
aqua-bead planting media is supplied to fill the lid. For further details see "Bio Clear Range" section |
||
| Below: Biological Fluidised Bed Filters | |||
 |
The ability
of Fluidised Bed filters to biological cater for extremely high level
fish loads has been well documented, as have the wear and short life
problems encountered by some companies producing such devices back in
the year 2000. Only now in 2002 after considerable field and laboratory
research can Cloverleaf offer the very best in FB’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 FB’s are manufactured in 3 varying
sizes, and are available in two designs – (1) Pumped with gravity
return (2) Pumped with pressurised return, with these models prefixed
"P". Seen illustrated in this
photo are both ranges. For further details see "Fluidised Bed Range" section |
||
| Below: Cloverleaf UV Clarifiers - General: | |||
 |
All Cloverleaf UV Clarifiers carry a “Clear Water Guarantee” (see details elsewhere), and incorporate the unique design feature of creating a rotating water path along the length of the quartz tube – thus increasing the contact time of algae’s and pathogens to the rays of the ultraviolet lamp. As with all Cloverleaf products the UV units are manufactured with a design emphasis on safety, performance, long life, ease of maintenance, and of course good value. The UV units are available in a very extensive range of sizes from 8 watt to 864watt (1 to 12 bar), with much larger modular cabinets (up to 30 bar) available to trade specialists or Cloverleaf retailers dealing with large commercial projects. Important Note: Due to the great value offered in the stainless steel UV's the production of Cloverleaf's plastic bodied UV's will cease during 2006, and in 2007 will only be available as a special factory order. For further details see "Ultra Violet Clarifiers" section |
||
| Below: "Smartstart" Stainless Steel UV Clarifier Units: | |||
|
As an extension to the
current highly popular stainless steel UV range the new “Smartstart SS UV‘s” have been designed taking technology
one further step, whilst making them affordable without the need to rob
a bank. In using “Smartstart” lamps (with a life expectancy of
9000 hours) a great gain in light output efficiency is possible due to
the lamps integral ballast which by default offers consistent
performance throughout the year when compared to conventional lamps with
remote ballasts. “Smartstarts” will be available off the shelf in 4 models - 24 watt, 48 watt, 72 watt, and 144 watt. Special factory orders will be possible up to a massive 864 watt 12 bar unit. For further details see "Ultra Violet Clarifiers" section |
||
| Below: Cloverleaf High Performance Stainless Steel UV Clarifiers: | |||
 |
For those seeking top
quality the “High Performance Stainless Steel
UV” Clarifier will instantly appeal. The highly reflective
polished wall finish of the heavy gauge body will do much to improve the
general efficiency and performance of the unit, and these will initially
be launched in 15 Watt and 30 Watt versions – with up to 6 Bar
330 Watt models being available as a special factory order. For further details see "Ultra Violet Clarifiers " section |
||
| Below: Cloverleaf Heavy Duty Power Pumps | |||
 |
Cloverleaf's submersible “Power
Pump” range comprises of 5 different models, all of which
incorporate a safety feature float switch. With their battleship style
construction these heavy duty pumps are capable of high flow rates up to
a maximum of 16,800 LPH (3733 GPH). Pumping up to good “head”
heights (up to 9 metres) is also possible, with the PPS models being
able to handle 24mm diameter solids. It is believed that it will not be
long before the “Power Pump” range earns itself a first class
reputation amongst enthusiasts. For further details see "Pumps & Water Heaters" section |
||
| Below: CSP Surface Pumps (for gravity fed filtration systems): | |||
 |
Designed & built for durability and
reliability the Cloverleaf
Surface Pump range comprise of - the CSP1 ¼ h.p. model rated
at 10800 lph (2400 gph) and the CSP2 1/3 h.p. model rated at
13500 lph (3000 gph). Both are ideal for gravity fed filters such as the
Cloverleaf "CL" range or the "Genesis" range. For further details see "Pumps & Water Heaters" section |
||
| Below: Cloverleaf Turbo Pumps: | |||
 |
The budget
range of solids handling low wattage TURBO submersible pumps are ideally
suited for watercourse features or Cloverleaf’s smaller filtration
systems like the CL1, F20 and F4. The range comprises of 5 models:
5000 - 4800 LPH (1066 gph) 95 watt, 3800 LPH (844 gph) 75 watt, 2500 LPH
(555 gph) 45 watt, 1100 LPH (244 gph) 20 watt and the 700 LPH (155 gph)
13 watt. All pumps are supplied with a fountain head kit. For further details see "Pumps & Water Heaters" section |
||
| Below: AquaPower + Low Pressure Pumps | |||
 |
The “AquaPower +” (AquaPower Plus) range of low pressure professional watercourse and filter pumps are available in three low energy efficient models, all of which only require low maintenance. They comprise of the 4500 LPH (68 Watt) model – the 7500 LPH (89 Watt) model – and the 14000 LPH (250 Watt) model. These units manufactured in the Netherlands can be used in the pond for normal solids handling for gravity fed filter system installations. Cloverleaf believe that the engineering quality of the “AquaPower” range can be happily compared to any other similar pump on the international market. For further details see "Pumps & Water Heaters" section. |
||
| Below: Cloverleaf Foam Fractioner | |||

| Below: Commercial & Hobbyist Ozone Systems: | |||
| "Clovozone"
No Photo Available See Link |
With
numerous killer virus’s (like KHV) taking their toll on trade fish
stocks, Cloverleaf are currently locked into designing & developing
a range of high-tech commercial ozone systems to tackle such dire
problems. In addition the hobbyist can look forward to the likelihood of
a Cloverleaf Protein Skimmer with Ozone generation. Due to intensive field testing its unlikely that
“Clovozone” systems will be available until mid 2003 – but watch
this space.

||
| Below: Cloverleaf Pond Vacuums: | |||
 |
Vacuuming the pond
floor can make a very worthy contribution to water quality and
enhancements to the development of bacteria colonies within filter
systems, and to achieve such aims Cloverleaf offer 2 motorised vacuum
models - the “Pondvac Junior Kit” or the larger “Pondvac Master
Kit” For further details see "Small Devices" section. |
||
| Below: Cloverleaf Patented Side Valves: | |||
 |
Cloverleaf
produce their own side valves based upon a sturdy cam lever design, and
these are available in varying sizes and different grade plastics.
Conventional standard models provide the facility for connecting
pipework via adhesive (like plumbers Polypipe), with special orders to
cater for solid plastic welding. All valves provide ease of use in
changing components after being subjected to excess wear or accidental
damage. For further details see "Small Devices" section |
||
| Below: Cloverleaf Aeration Devices: | |||
 |
Mechanical
aeration is of course a vital ingredient for both fish and the
development of beneficial bacteria colonies within filter systems, and
certainly a dire necessity in heavy stocked ponds, or those heavily
planted. Cloverleaf offer a range of devices to increase oxygen
saturation – including bottom drains, various size circular diffuser
rings, together with venturi’s. (Devices do not include air pumps). For further details see "Small Devices" section |
||
| Below: C82 Air Pump | |||
 |
For those who
appreciate quality battleship style engineering the quiet “Cloverleaf
82 Air Pump” compressor will certainly appeal - and will likely be
classified by many individuals as fabulous. Producing 82 litres per minute (4,920 Lph)
through its 12mm outlet the unit is suitable for numerous uses in
supplying purified compressed air. For further details see "Small Devices" section |
||
| Below: Cloverleaf Low Voltage Auto Fish Feeders | |||

The
Cloverleaf Electronic Auto Fish Feeders are available in 3 model sizes,
with the largest containing a maximum of 20lb of fish pellets. The
digital computerised controller allows up to 8 feeds a day, with control
over the quantity being discharged via the minute and second timer. These sophisticated units are likely
to cause an embarrassment to competitors in representing exceptional
good value for money.
For further details refer to the "Small Devices" section. |
||
| Below: Cloverleaf COMPLETE Fish Food | |||
 |
With an
Aladdin’s cave of fish food already on the market one could be
forgiven for thinking there is not much demand for yet another, however
Cloverleaf believe that the unique formula and versatility of “COMPLETE”
deserves to be a winner. Containing 20% fresh Salmon and numerous other
beneficial enhancers the pellets can be successfully fed to all types of
pond fish throughout the year (at water temperatures above 42F). For further details see "Fishfood & Treatments" section. |
||
| Below: Cloverleaf 5 Litre Fish Food Treats | |||

All Koi deserve a
treat, and what better than a supplementary food that provides the
benefit of being a natural source for colour enhancement, whilst having
a high nutritional and vitamin value. The range includes (1) Freshwater
Shrimp (2) Silkworm Pupae (3) Krill (4) Orange Vitamin Sticks. For further details see "Fishfood & Treatments" section |
||
| Below: "Answer" Range Of Water Treatments: | |||
|
With
Cloverleaf’s “Blanket Answer” now proven to be extremely
successful in removing the dreaded blanket weed (filamentous algae), it
was thought time to extend the range by introducing other products
orientated towards achieving good water quality, and an environmentally
sound pond. These 4 new products include:
(1)
“Sludge Answer” - a unique blend of beneficial bacteria to
convert and remove sludge build up from the pond and filter system.
(2)
“Bacteria Answer” - a unique blend of nitrifying bacteria to
promote healthy biological filtration systems.
(3)
“Pond Support Answer” - a unique blend of beneficial bacteria for
general pond management.
(4)
“Oxygen Answer” - a unique blend of minerals to provide healthy
oxygen levels. The “Answer” range is the answer to creating and maintaining a healthy pond, and “Blanket Answer” certainly produces great results where many other manufacturers products are likely to fail. For further details see "Fishfood & Treatments" section |
||
| Below: Wonder Seal: | |||
 |
No Need To Drain Down Ponds Or Tanks To Fix Leaks Wonder Seal is a multi purpose waterproof sealant that can be applied under water, and can be used neat in many instances. For rips in butyl or vinyl a patch of similar material should be used. In all cases clean the local surfaces for sound adhesion. Allow 24 hours to fully cure. Where possible protect repair from fish attack for 12 hours. For further details see "Fishfood & Treatments" section |
||
| Below: HS Water Test Kits | |||
