Frequently Asked Questions Q: How does the automatic cleaning work?A: The ProfiClear Premium features a rotating drum screen that captures debris. When the sensor detects reduced flow (or at timed intervals), the built-in high-pressure pump (58-87 PSI) automatically sprays the drum clean, flushing waste out the 4" discharge outlet. You can choose manual cleaning, timed intervals, or fully automatic sensor-based cleaning. The entire process is hands-free—no filter foam cleaning required! Q: Which model do I need—Compact-M, Compact-L Pump-Fed, or Compact-L Gravity-Fed?A: Choose based on your pond size and plumbing setup. The Compact-M handles ponds up to 21,000 gallons with 2" plumbing. The Compact-L Pump-Fed is for ponds up to 31,500 gallons with 3" plumbing and uses a pump to push water through the filter. The Compact-L Gravity-Fed handles up to 37,000 gallons and is designed for gravity-fed systems (like bottom drains) where water flows naturally to the filter. Gravity-fed systems are preferred for serious koi ponds. Q: What is moving bed filtration and why is it important?A: Moving bed filtration uses small plastic bio-media (Hel-X) that tumbles gently in the water, providing massive surface area for beneficial bacteria to colonize. These bacteria break down ammonia and nitrites from fish waste—critical for koi health. The ProfiClear's moving bed system can process up to 10 oz of food waste per day and can be upgraded with an additional 20 liters of media for heavily stocked ponds. This biological filtration works alongside the mechanical drum filtration for complete water treatment.
