Atlantic Oase Biotec Screenmatic 2

The system uses an intelligent sensor to monitor debris buildup on the screen. When the screen becomes clogged, the sensor triggers a motor that rotates the screen, sweeping the coarse debris into a collection tray for easy disposal.

Yes, it is designed specifically for that purpose. The unit uses three different foam densities that provide a large surface area for beneficial bacteria to colonize, which is essential for breaking down harmful ammonia and nitrites into safer compounds.

Because the Screenmatic system automatically removes the bulk of coarse debris, you will find yourself cleaning the internal foams much less frequently than with standard filters. The exact frequency depends on your pond's fish load and plant life, but the design allows you to clean the foams directly within the filter housing to preserve the bacterial colonies.

Not at all. The unit includes a dedicated slide valve at the bottom of the filter. You simply open the valve to drain the accumulated sludge directly out of the system, keeping the process clean and contained.

The Biotec Screenmatic 2 is highly effective for ponds with fish, but you should always check the specific model's flow rate and volume capacity against your pond's total gallonage and fish load. If your pond is heavily stocked, ensure you choose a model sized appropriately for that increased biological demand.

The motor features a double-sealed construction, which provides superior protection against water ingress and environmental wear. This added layer of defense significantly extends the operational lifespan of the unit compared to standard, single-sealed motors.
