David and Goliath

It’s often been said that a picture speaks a thousand words and, as we’ll see in this short feature, that’s very true. Sometimes it’s easy to wax lyrical about the benefits and capabilities of filtration systems, but what’s not always quite so easy...is to prove it!

Early in the Summer of 2014, a detailed article was published in a prestigious specialist Koi publication detailing the operation and technology behind a ground breaking new generation range of filtration systems called Qubes. Since then, and with the installation of dozens of units up and down the UK, it’s not the innovative design or compact footprint that’s been causing ripples in the Koi industry, but the incredible performance of these amazing units, which punch seriously above their weight in this crucial Koi function. After all, it’s true that we really are water keepers first and foremost and, while there will always be debate about the best way to achieve that, there is no debate about the basic assertion that the key to great water is effective filtration! While the essence of the key to their outstanding performance is the new ORBS media, the elegant, compact, highly advanced design of the filters deliver an optimised physical containment vessel that not only gets the job done, but does it with a tiny footprint and, crucially, minimised maintenance work!

ORBS are especially designed, highly specialised filter media with specially designed internal voids which, combined with their unique profile, offer an almost perfect host for the development of nitrifying bacteria at the heart of every filtration system. The designers, however, didn’t stop at the media - they also designed and developed a highly innovative range of filters optimised for ORBS! The combination of these innovative and ground- breaking technologies has delivered a range of filters that’s taking the industry by storm.
