TMC System 2500/5000 Reservoir-Based Filtration Units

improved design

Our reservoir-based recirculation systems have proved very successful. Compared with an in-line series of filtration equipment, TMC reservoir-based units offer the following advantages:-

A separate pump from the livestock pump (not included) circulates the water around the filtration unit. This allows an independent and rapid turnover of the system waste products.

Maintenance of the filtration components can be carried out without any interruption to the livestock supply.

Individual components can be removed and replaced easily.

The filtration system can be set up and run independently allowing maturation of the biological filters, without connection to the livestock tanks.

Systems come complete with all filtration pipework and are supplied ready to assemble with no glueing required.

Systems are available in either freshwater or marine configurations and in a choice of two capacities.

Filtration elements can be supplied in a choice of either clear acrylic or white food grade polypropylene.

These systems can also be supplied without a reservoir. Please ask for details.
