The
Eco-Wheel®
Ecological Filtration System
"The
only filtration system that runs on air and light."
The
Eco-Wheel®
Ecological Filtration System is the most innovative
and highly advanced aquatic life support system in the world. Successfully
reproducing ecological filtration processes found in nature, those interested
in optimizing freshwater and saltwater systems will find the multi-functioning,
multi-faceted system nothing short of extraordinary. Already well
received at public aquariums, zoos, aqua-culture facilities, aquarium
shops, pet stores and by hobbyists, the Eco-Wheel® is established
as the new standard for aquatic life support.
The
patented Eco-Wheel® Ecological Filtration System is manufactured
and distributed by Aquatic Engineers, Inc (AEI). The Eco-Wheel®
system has been in design and testing since 1995 and is the first system
to successfully mimic water filtration processes found in nature. The
Eco-Wheel® system provides water movement, water surge, algal
turf scrubbing, biological filtration, "selective" protein skimming
and utilizes a single air pump to accomplish all of these processes. The
main feature of the Eco-Wheel's® patented process
is that it is completely non-destructive to plankton and other organisms
that comprise the lower echelon of the aquatic food chain. With these
organisms left undisturbed, a complete eco-system can be achieved.

The
Eco-Wheel® Advantage
|
|
Requires
no water pumps for operation! Runs entirely off one air
pump.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Maintains
a cooler water temperature due to the absence of water pumps.
|
|
|
Eliminates
the need for a traditional chiller.
|
|
|
Removes
ammonia, nitrites, nitrates and phosphates.
|
|
|
Removes
excess nutrients, carbon and suspended solids.
|
|
|
Reduces
water changes, if not eliminating them for certain systems.
|
|
|
Provides
'selective' protein skimming wihtout 'over-skimming'.
|
|
|
Does
not harm plankton, as do traditional 'pumped' systems.
|
|
|
Maintains
(feeds) zooplankton with phytoplankton and algae.
|
|
|
Greatly
reduces, if not eliminates nuisance algae in the aquarium.
|
|
|
Maintains
oxygen levels and a constant pH during both day and night cycles.
|
|
|
Generates
high flow, strong currents and water surging.
|
|
|
Generates
a natural ocean surge a minimum of 3 times per minute.
|
| |
Has
only one moving part and is very dependably. |
| |
Won't
clog, stick or jam from debris. |
|
|
Requires
very little maintenance and is extremely easy to service.
|
| |
The
Eco-Wheel®
system is a closed system and will not overflow or flood. |
| |
No
stray electrical currents in aquarium due to submersible pumps. |
| |
Complete
safety - there are no electrical parts in contact with water. |
