Lifegard Turbo Reactor - Medium Side Flow
High-Efficiency Vortex Filtration for Clean, Clear Water
The Lifegard Turbo Reactor (Medium Side Flow) is a high-performance media reactor engineered to accelerate chemical and biological filtration. Unlike traditional "lazy flow" reactors, the Turbo series utilizes a unique internal mechanism that creates a spiral vortex stream. This spinning action ensures that media like Bio-Pellets stay in constant motion, preventing clumping and maximizing the contact time between your water and the filter media.
The Side Flow design is a space-saving powerhouse. By placing the pump directly beneath the reactor body and utilizing integrated plumbing, it eliminates the need for messy flexible tubes and external valves, making it the perfect choice for crowded sumps.
Key Features:
-
Anti-Clumping "Turbo" Action: The vortex flow pattern provides unmatched tumbling for Bio-Pellets and ensures even distribution for GFO and Carbon.
-
Space-Saving Side Flow Design: Integrated plumbing and a bottom-mounted pump significantly reduce the footprint under your tank.
-
Quiet One Pro 800 Pump Included: Powered by a high-quality, energy-efficient pump (240 GPH) known for near-silent operation and durability.
-
Versatile Media Compatibility: Includes diffuser plates and foam pads, making it ready for Bio-Pellets, GFO, or Carbon right out of the box.
-
User-Friendly Maintenance: The top cover features easy-to-remove plastic thumbscrews, providing full access for quick media swaps.
-
Hand-Crafted Quality: Built from high-quality, crystal-clear acrylic for a professional look and long-lasting performance.
