The Evolution Aqua Tempest Filter is an innovative polishing system for ponds. The Tempest Filter uses Evolution Aqua's K+Media to deliver crystal clear, healthy water. Designed to be used in conjunction with any filtration system, the Tempest Filter offers additional mechanical and biological filtration. The Tempest Filter can be installed on a variety of set-ups and can be used as a standalone filter on smaller ponds up to 1320 gallons.

Simply turn the pump off, close the slide valves, and open the waste valve! Exceptional Filter MediaThe K+ Media is an incredibly useful filter media, and the Tempest filter makes amazing use of it. Laboratory testing showed that, when running at optimal flowrate of 1320gph, the Tempest can remove 100% of particles as small as 25 microns, and the majority of particles as small as 10 microns! How it WorksWater is pumped into the Tempest Filter from its lower input valve. The K+ media moves to the top of the filter and traps debris moving through the system as the water flows to the upper output valve. When the cleaning cycle is run, the waste drains out the waste valve below the Tempest. Looking for a similar compact K+ filter but with a built in 18-watt UV Clarifier?
