The Advantages Of Cloverleaf Fluid Bed Filters
The dilemma of very high fish stocks overloading an existing filter system has frequently meant replacing the entire system or adding to it in a conventional manner, but often the case is that there is insufficient floor space (or finances) to execute either option. This is where the economical Fluidised Bed filter fully comes into its own, and providing that the existing system can adequately cater for mechanical filtration, then a vast improvement in water quality parameters will be evident.
Cloverleaf FB’s are manufactured in 3 varying sizes, and are available in two designs – (1) Pumped with gravity return (2) Pumped with pressurised return. Unlike some other manufacturers products the Cloverleaf range incorporates a non return valve to prevent the loss of sand via any siphoning actions. |
| Clover Leaf Fluid Bed Filters - M25 |
|
The M25 gravity return FB unit will cater for heavy stocked ponds up to 2,500 gallons (11,250 litres), and is best served from a high pressure pump offering around 470gph (like Blagdons Amphibious P2000) – with final operational flow rates of around 250gph. This unit is approx 600mm high (24”) with a 110mm (4”) diameter core containing 3kg of silica sand, together with standard 38mm (1.5”) inlet pipe manifold including a Cloverleaf Side Valve on the inlet side, together with a non return valve. Outlet/gravity return is for 50mm (standard 2") rigid pipework. The M25 will support up to 50kg (110lb) of fish load.

| Clover Leaf Fluid Bed Filters - M140 |
|
The M140 & M140P (pressurised) will both cater for heavy stocked ponds up to 14,000 gallons (63,000 litres). These impressive units are approx 2000mm high (80") with a 110mm core (4") containing 12kg of silica sand. The M140 model requires a 1/4hp pump (similar to that used on the Cloverleaf Junior Pondvac) with an operational flow rate of around 1,400gph. Remaining pipe specification of M140P is similar to the M70P. The M140P will support up to 200kg (440lb) of fish load.
