Matala Koi Clear V-105 Vortex Filter - Tank Only (No Media)
The Matala Koi Clear V-105 Vortex Filter is a heavy-duty, versatile filter vessel designed for serious pond enthusiasts and professional installers. This "Tank Only" version provides the base unit without filter media, offering the ultimate flexibility for those who want to customize their filtration stages or use it strictly as a mechanical vortex solids separator.
As a vortex filter, it excels at removing heavy debris and solids before they reach your biological media or pump. Its modular design allows it to be used as a single standalone unit or linked in series with additional V-105 tanks to create a high-capacity multi-stage filtration system.
Key Features:
-
Customizable Filtration: Arrives without filter pads, allowing you to choose your own media (brushes, Matala mats, or bio-balls) based on your pond’s specific needs.
-
Modular Capability: Easily connects to additional units to scale filtration for larger koi ponds or heavier fish loads.
-
Versatile Installation: Can be installed in a gravity-fed configuration (buried at pond level) or a pump-fed configuration (above pond level).
-
Vortex Physics: The circular tank design creates a vortex action that forces heavy solids to the bottom for easy removal via the drain.
-
Large Capacity: Suitable for water gardens up to 5,300 gallons and koi ponds up to 2,500 gallons when properly equipped with media.
-
Durable Construction: Built from high-quality, weather-resistant materials designed for long-term outdoor use.
