If you are fortunate enough to have a large pond and need a high quality, heavy duty filtration system to keep your fish healthy and your water clear, Yamitsu have the ideal system you can install and expand to meet your specific requirements.

This system (as shown above) is suitable for 10,000 gallons. It is sold as separate modules each capable of handling up to 2,500 gallons. There is an optional twin feed vortex available (VF3T). Each module is 3’ high, 3’ long and 3’ 4” wide. They have two 110mm inlets, two 110mm outlets and two 1.5” drain outlets with valves and reducers. They come complete with grids and silicone for home assembly but does not include media which is available separately. For ease of delivery and storage these units nest like supermarket baskets and are ready for assembly on site (approx. 15 minutes).

Normally supplied for gravity fed installation but can also be supplied for pump fed systems.

Each module s 35” x 40” x 36” high and comes complete with 2 drains, 2 grids, 2 ball valves, 1.5” and 4” tank connectors, bends, internal pipework and a tube of silicone for home assembly (easy stack) making collection and transportation to site less dramatic.

Our tests have shown that the best way to fill your bertha filters with mediafor optimum results is as follows:

First bay: 28 filter brushes (20" x 8")

Second and/or third bays: 1/4 cubic metre of flo-cor per bay.

Last Bay: Laid out as below using foam blocks and Blue matting

Suggested media content for last bay in gravity fed Bertha installation. Consisting of:

3 sheets blue filter matting fitted below a vacuum exhaust matrix complete with 30 sponge blocks fitted on perforated inserts.

Aternative last bay gravity return for pump fed systems. Showing (right) two 110 mm return outlets and two 2" overflows.
