COMPLETE DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE:
®(BAWPS)
®BioTrap – RedTop
SERIES-I
FILTER SYSTEM
SHALLOW PULL or DEEP PULL / VAC PIPE EXTENSION / ®SKIMBOB – BYPASS PLUG
The series-I Biofilters provide a standard low-level water pull bypass plug for 90% top surface water skimming activation via the surface water skimming intake slots.
As the dual head system pump w/ venturi draws in water, the untreated liquid is drawn in from both the top and bottom of the habitat area’s water column. Firstly, it arrives via the box bottom enclosure housing’s lower box bottom deep pull keyed extension down pipe in-flow slot, where the box bottom deep pull keyed extension down pipe is mounted (if present), and the vac skimbob assembly (if present), and the corresponding deep pull extension down pipe strainer and extension down pipe strainer sponge media pre-filter (if present). (These being bypassed if the box bottom down pipe bypass plug is present, and is used to increases intake water flow at the top surface water skimming slots and Secondly, it arrives via the same sets of top surface water skimming slots.
The series-I filters provide an optional vac pipe and external top water surface skimbob configuration conversion kit which allows for the offset of the evaporation that takes place in the tank habitat chamber and prevents any surface water skimming from taking place, this often occurs when the system is left unattended during away time, (or vacationing); this illuminates the dry-run and overheating of the pump when the internal tank water level of the habitat chamber falls below that of the acceptable drain level of the surface water skimming intake slots and causes the pump to run dry.
Referring to the Series-I BioTrap RedTop box filter’s top surface water skimming slots which are capable of providing non-stop surface skimming twenty-four hours a day. This action in turn, continuously removes all the contaminants trapped within the upper layers of the main tank/habitat chamber containment area’s water column.
This process of continual water transference prevents any of the normal buildup of harmful contaminants such as algae blooms, nitrites, nitrates, PH imbalances, detritus and other biological waste that regularly accumulate within main tank/habitat chamber containment area and which can often offset the long-term stability of the water quality within the entire system.
The gain of aquatic load, (or cycle), as it takes place over time, frequently makes the main tank/habitat chamber containment area itself, detrimental to the plants and animals that reside within it.
Once the Series-I BioTrap RedTop box filter w/ c.o.d. diffuser and high flow cyclonic bioskimmer system completes with its initial processing of the main tank/habitat chamber containment area water, and just as fast as the dual head system pump w/ venturi, can pull the water flow back and into the box filter w/ c.o.d. diffuser via the top surface skimming slots and deep pull supply down pipe extension, one of the keyed bi-directional powerhead manifold assemblies which can be mounted to the front flow control manifold port will transfer the outflow into the main tank/habitat chamber containment area.
Although the Series-I BioTrap RedTop biological trapping filter w/ c.o.d. diffuser and cyclonic high flow bioskimmer is fully capable of running as a stand alone unit, it also comes equipped with additional accessories and features which make it extremely unique and versatile in a varied array of applications.
