HELIX Bio-Mechanical Reactor

The backwash system uses the pond's own water to agitate and clean the internal media, flushing out accumulated debris without requiring you to open the unit or scrub it by hand. This process is designed to be quick and hands-free, keeping the filtration media efficient year-round.

Yes, the unit is specifically engineered to be concealed within a waterfall structure. Its compact, durable design allows it to sit discreetly behind or beneath rockwork, keeping your pond's aesthetic clean and natural.

Choose based on your pond's total volume and fish load. The Small unit is rated for ponds up to 1,000 gallons with a 3,000 gph flow rate, while the Large unit handles up to 3,000 gallons with a 4,500 gph flow rate. If you have a high fish load, we recommend opting for the larger capacity to ensure optimal water clarity.

No, the Bio-Mechanical Reactor relies entirely on biological and mechanical filtration processes. It uses floating media and aeration to support beneficial bacteria, which naturally break down waste and keep your water clear without the need for harsh chemicals.

The reactor is built with American-made materials and features stainless steel hardware, which is highly resistant to corrosion and the wear of constant water exposure. It is designed to be a permanent, reliable component of your pond's infrastructure.
