Matala BioSteps

Matala Expandable gravity filter maximizes Matala® filter media performance. The rugged Biosteps 10 contains an amazing 200 sq. ft. of surface area for beneficial bacteria growth.

Combined with a cross flow design that traps and processes more debris at high flow rates, you get unparalleled mechanical and biological filtration for superior water quality.

Combine multiple units for large or heavily stocked koi ponds, or use Biosteps 10 with optional UV Clarifier for improved water clarity. Universal barbed inlet (1", 1-1/4", 1-1/2"), 1-1/2" outlet. Measures 23-3/16" x 15" x 20-3/16" high.

For ponds up to 10,000 liter / 2,700 gallen, step-wise transition from mechianical filtration to high-efficiency bio filtration.

Advisory

This advisory pertains to situations where the the Solids Handling/Waterfall Pump 2000 will be used with the Matala BioSteps 10 Gravity Discharge Filter. The 2000 model pump generates too much pressure for a single Biosteps filter. Thus, two filters will be needed to filter output from the 2000 model pump, connected to the pump using a tee fitting. Please contact us for further consultation before purchasing these products together.
