We Develop PPM Filters

Pressurised Porous Media Filter

The PPM filter is a new style of filter developed by Pure Aquatics in Port Macquarie. Utilising high-quality sand filter hulls, we carry out several modifications allowing the use of specialised sinking media with incredibly high surface area for superior mechanical and biological filtration in one unit. 

With the use of open cell media, sand filters can now be used in aquaculture and aquarium applications with reliability and higher nitrification rates and waste holding capacities than ever before.

Benefits of PPM Filters

Suitable for low to high pressure applications, our PPM filter range offers the following features and benefits:

  • Very low pressure loss over time from blocking = more consistent flow over time 
  • Superior depth filtration = more waste captured before backwash 
  • High nitrification rates 
  • 100% removal of particles down to 25 microns 
  • Low pressure loss allowing use with low head high volume pumps for large energy savings 
  • Fibreglass wound tank, UV and corrosion resistant 
  • Pressure rated at 250 kPa (36 psi) 
  • Large stable filter base for stable floor mounting 
  • Spherical ends are designed to give uniform flow from both inlet and outlet collection assemblies
