Description
The OASE ProfiClear Premium DF-L Pump-Fed Drum Filter is a professional-grade mechanical filtration unit designed for compact yet high-performance koi pond systems.
As the first stage of filtration, it removes fine and coarse debris from pond water before it enters biological filtration chambers, ensuring stable and efficient water quality management.
Water is pumped into the drum filter where it passes through a fine stainless-steel mesh screen. Solid waste is captured on the drum surface while clean water continues through the system.
When the screen becomes blocked, an automatic cleaning system activates, flushing debris away without interrupting filtration performance.
This pump-fed version is ideal for installations where water is actively pumped from the pond into a technical filtration chamber.
The DF-L is part of the ProfiClear modular ecosystem, allowing integration with biological chambers and discharge modules for a complete high-end filtration system.
