Evolution Aqua Tempest

Innovative Polisher For Ponds

The Tempest polisher is easy to install and is simple and quick to clean, by way of a unique, patented air syphon design
(UK Patent No. GB2550495B). 

During the cleaning process, air is drawn into the vessel as it empties which causes the water to agitate, effectively cleaning the K+Media.

Key Features

Improves water quality and clarity

Includes advanced K+Media

Traps particles down to one micron

Patent pending air backwash system

Use in conjunction with any filtration system

Additional mechanical and biological filtration

Easy to install, simple to clean

Upgraded For Ease of Use & Reliability 

How it works?

Filtration Mode

Water is pumped through the Tempest polisher. The K+Media moves to the top of the vessel, becoming a mechanical barrier that traps debris as it flows through the system. Waster is trapped in the media pack until the cleaning cycle dislodges it and it gets flushed away.

Cleaning Mode

The Tempest polisher can be cleaned in a matter of minutes, by simply closing the inlet/outlet valves, turning the pump off and opening the waste ball valve and air inlet valve.

Specifications

Installing the Tempest Polisher
 

There are a number of ways the Tempest polisher can be installed on your pond system. Below are some typical installation ideas.

PLEASE NOTE: The ball valves fitted to the Tempest allow connection to 1½” pressure pipe. If installing Tempest using flexible hose you will need to fit a reducing sleeve and a 1½” solvent weld stepped hosetail inside each ball valve.

To allow the Tempest to give the best performance, it is important that the flow rate is no more than the 5,000 litres per hour. Some of the installation examples show a by-pass that will enable you to increase the flow through the pond.

Advanced Filtration Media

 After many years of research, Evolution Aqua have now developed a new media that not only gives class leading surface area, but also overcomes the problem of long maturation times. 

K+Media is designed and manufactured in the UK by Evolution Aqua. This advanced media, with its innovative design, and class leading surface area provides enhanced biological and mechanical filtration.

 As Evolution Aqua extrude K+Media, Minerals and Enzymes are added to the raw material. The result of this process, unique to Evolution Aqua, is a filtration media that not only outperforms most of its competitors due to its large protected surface area, but also answers the problem of how to speed up the time taken to mature your filter.
