Burtons BD 300 Cube with UV Drum Filter

Compact Self Cleaning Drum Filter with Integrated UV for Koi Ponds

The Burtons BD 300 Cube with UV is a compact automatic drum filter designed for small to medium sized koi ponds and ornamental fish ponds. It is manufactured in the UK by Burtons Aquatics and combines high precision mechanical filtration with an integrated UV clarifier. As a result, it helps maintain clear and healthy pond water.

Although compact, the BD 300 Cube uses the same reliable drum filtration technology found in larger Burtons drum filters. A precision 60 micron stainless steel screen removes fine debris before it can break down in the pond. Consequently, this helps maintain stable water quality and reduces the load on biological filtration.

In addition, this model includes a built in 20 watt amalgam UV unit. The UV helps control green water algae while also keeping the drum screen free from biofilm. As a result, the filter operates more efficiently and requires less maintenance.

By combining UV clarification with automated mechanical filtration, the BD 300 Cube provides an efficient and low maintenance solution for koi ponds up to around 30,000 litres.

Unlike traditional pond filters that require frequent manual cleaning, the BD 300 Cube uses a fully automatic drum cleaning system. As debris collects on the drum screen, the water level inside the drum chamber slowly rises. The internal sensor then detects this change and activates the cleaning cycle automatically.

During the cleaning cycle the drum rotates while a wash pump sprays the screen clean. The waste is then flushed into the waste tray and discharged to drain. Because the cleaning process is automatic, the drum filter continues to operate without interruption.

As a result, mechanical filtration continues working efficiently while maintenance requirements remain low.

How the Burtons BD300 Cube Drum Filter Works

Water from the pond enters the drum filter through two 110 mm inlet connections. The water then passes through the rotating stainless steel drum screen. Here, the 60 micron mesh captures fine particles such as fish waste, uneaten food and suspended solids.

As debris builds on the screen, the water level inside the drum chamber gradually increases. The internal sensor detects this change and triggers the cleaning cycle.

During the cleaning cycle the drum rotates slowly while spray jets wash the screen using pressurised water. The trapped debris is then flushed through the waste outlet and discharged to drain.

Because the drum cleans itself automatically, mechanical filtration remains efficient at all times. This helps maintain clear pond water. In addition, it protects downstream biological filters from excessive solid waste.

Integrated UV Clarifier

The BD-300 Cube includes a pre fitted 20 watt amalgam UV clarifier installed inside the drum filter. This UV unit helps eliminate free floating algae and harmful microorganisms in the pond water.

In addition, placing the UV inside the drum helps prevent biofilm from forming on the drum screen. This reduces cleaning cycles and improves overall filter performance.

Furthermore, the integrated design removes the need for external UV housings and additional pipework. This makes installation simpler and keeps the filtration system compact.

Gravity Fed Installation

The Burtons BD300 Cube is designed primarily for gravity fed filtration systems. In this type of setup, water flows directly from the pond through bottom drains and skimmers into the drum filter before reaching the pump.

As a result, the drum filter removes solid waste before the water reaches the pump and biological filtration stage. This improves overall filtration efficiency and helps protect other equipment in the system.

With a maximum flow rate of approximately 30,000 litres per hour, the BD 300 Cube is well suited to smaller koi ponds or filtration systems where space is limited.
