How the EazyPod Automatic works
The concept of the EazyPod Automatic is simple and yet
innovative. Water enters via the inlet and passes over an 18
watt UV Clarifying bulb (on UV versions), helping to kill any
single celled algae in the water.
The water then enters the outer chamber, which runs around
the entire circumference of the EazyPod. Between the outer
chamber and the inner chamber, there is a stainless steel
perforated screen. These perforations are situated in the lower
half of the screen and around its entire face. This means that
when the water passes from the outer to inner chamber,
a downward and upward flow is created. This causes many of
the larger solids to settle in the base of the outer chamber, due
to the force of gravity.
The size of the perforations will not allow large mechanical
waste to enter the inner chamber, thus acting as a first stage
mechanical filter. The inner chamber holds 18 litres of static
K1 Micro media. As the water enters the inner chamber, the
fine smaller solids become entrapped in the K1 Micro. After
passing through the K1 Micro, the clean water then rises and
overflows into the inner return pipe. From here it returns to the
pond via the return outlet.
The EazyPod Automatic filtration system gives water quality
and clarity that surpasses all expectations. The nature and
volume of the K1 Micro means, that when static, apart
from being a very efficient mechanical filter, there is more
than enough surface area for beneficial bacteria to colonise.
Therefore on a smaller pond, the EazyPod Automatic is an
excellent complete filter.
Cleaning overview
The K1 Micro is cleaned by the integrated air pump located
inside the control box, that is connected to the air line in the
EazyPod Automatic, which in turn goes to an air ring in the
base of the inner chamber. The air ring has small holes in it
which causes the K1 Micro to move and therefore clean itself.
During the cleaning cycle, the finer particles escape into
chamber from the K1 Micro. This waste water will be
automatically dumped via a 1½ inch motorised ball valve
.
