The Proficlear M5 – phosphate binder module
converts nitrate into gaseous nitrogen
(de-nitrification) and eliminates phosphates.
A majority of the volume passes by the filter
foam. (13) In the process an oxygen-deficient
area forms inside the foam, which is so
important for the de-nitrification bacteria.
By-pass regulating in the foam prevents
clogging so that this filter medium is
maintenance free.
The lesser portion of the flow volume is
channelled through Phosless inserts (14).
Binders ensure quick and safe phosphate
removal.
Removal of these nutrients in particular visibly
limits growth of string algae.
The pollutant level indicator signals (15) the need for service.
