AquaCleanse

2 large 10,000 gal tanks ( #25 & #26) with filtration, aeration and flow through technology. The water is supplied by 3 deep wells which draw from the aquifer. Tank # 26 is also equipped with our proprietary light treatment which is part of our AquaCleanse process for heavy metal reduction.

The water is injected through a top mount 2 inch opening into 10 foot tall Oxygen cones (4 total). As it the water is injected into the pool below vortex is created. This dynamic force stimulates the restructuring of the water. Bubbles are also created and we continuously inject liquid Oxygen into these bubbles. The water is super oxygenated @ 100%!!! For you chemists… PV = nPT.

Water flows through the center of a cylindrical housing. The water is surrounded by UV bulbs in special waterproof housings. The DNA in the bacteria is “blown-up” so it cannot reproduce. The water is disinfected.

A 40 micron (the size of an average human hair) Hydro-tech drum mechanical filtration unit type 803 removes the solids. The filter rotates continuously and 16 water jets spray through from outside the filter. This unit has a max flow of 31,500 gal/hour or 63,000 gal/hour if both sections are in operation.

After the mechanical filtration the water is led by gravity into 2 parallel 16 foot tall 6 foot wide silos (four total for both sections) with patented Inter Aqua Advance A/S Moving Bed BIO Reactor (MBBR). Primarily to remove the ammonia. Each has a volume of 1,300 gallons and are 55 % filled with IAA bio-curler bio media which is the optimum selection. Nitrifying bacteria create a film on the media and converts ammonia to a nitrate. Safe for the fish and excellent for growing plants! Two steps for you biologists: NH3 + O2 → NO−2 + 3H+ + 2e−, NH3 + O2 + 2H+ + 2e− → NH2OH + H2O.

This custom designed unit utilizes a specially designed media that creates a maximum wet-ability surface. Water is then pumped onto the media through many holes drilled on the top plate. A counter flow fan technology is used to literally strip (lift/remove) the CO2 molecules from the water in the enclosed unit and gives them to the plants outside! In a process called “photosynthesis,” plants use the energy in sunlight to convert CO2 and water to sugar and oxygen. The plants use the sugar for food—food that we use, too, when we eat plants or animals that have eaten plants — and they release the oxygen into the atmosphere.

This removal of CO2 allows for a stress free environment whereby the fish are not forced to increase their breathing as a result of experiencing some degree of hypercapnia.

All gas levels are normal and natural. And everybody is HAPPY!
