Generally speaking, mechanical filter media trap larger dirt
particles. Biological filter media, on the other hand, provide the
correct conditions for the colonisation of bacteria cultures: the
purification bacteria feed off the dirt particles and convert them.
Above all, in this way clear, healthy water and stabile water values are
arrived at in the aquarium.
Our latest development is a
combination filter medium, which simultaneously carries out both
mechanical and biological functions.
EHEIM bioMECH
Mechanical-biological filter medium for combined water
treatment
bioMECH has been cleverly designed: dirt-trapping pockets capture
and retain large and small dirt particles. At the same time the
subtely designed pore structure provides colonisation for the
purification bacteria and thus ensures reliable biological
decomposition. The material is pH-neutral and does not contain
water hardeners.
EHEIM bioMECH is suitable for fresh and marine water, is washable
and reusable many times.
