Hel-X 13 Bio media Black 20L

Hel-X biologically reduces nitrite and ammonium levels in water.

Hel-X is the most popular filter media on the market!

Hel-X 13 consists of small, individual bio-mechanical plastic granules that allow beneficial aerobic bacteria to settle and multiply in their unique form. This helps to biodegrade soluble waste.

Due to the increased surface area, biomaterials allow more bacteria to be contained within the same filter size. This allows for faster breakdown of food and fish waste in the system, increasing healthier and cleaner pond water.

Hel-X 13 has a total surface area of ​​955 m² / m³ and a protected surface area of ​​806 m² / m³.

100 L Hel-X is sufficient for a 20,000 l pond!

The most effective is the floating biomaterial for biofilters with a moving bed. In such filtration systems, the floating Hel-X biomaterial is in constant motion, due to which there is a constant renewal of the biofilm. Constant renewal of the biofilm significantly increases the filtration efficiency, since a thin layer of biofilm is most efficiently consuming ammonia and nitrites, and as the thickness increases, the intensity of consumption decreases.

The Hel-X biomaterial is driven by intensive aeration. With the help of air passing through the nebulizers, the biomaterial is in constant motion, it is necessary to correctly select the power of the air compressor so that it is enough to mix the elements of the biomaterial in the filter.

It is recommended that for every 150 liters of biofilter water mixed with 100 liters of Hel-X biomaterial, 80 liters of air per hour are required.
