Burtons Bio Flo+ Media

High performance moving bed biological filter media designed for advanced pond filtration systems.

Burtons Bio Flo+ Media is a high efficiency biological filter media designed for use in moving bed filtration systems and biological filter chambers. Its distinctive wheel shaped design features internal fins and large openings which create a protected environment for beneficial bacteria to colonise and thrive.

Biological filtration plays a critical role in maintaining healthy pond water. Beneficial bacteria break down harmful waste products produced by fish, uneaten food and organic debris. By converting ammonia and nitrite into less harmful compounds, these bacteria help maintain stable water quality and support a healthy pond ecosystem.

Burtons Bio Flo+ Media provides a protected surface area of approximately 800 square metres per cubic metre and a total surface area of over 1000 square metres per cubic metre. This large surface area allows dense bacterial colonies to develop, significantly increasing the biological filtration capacity of pond filter systems.

Manufactured from durable polypropylene with a specific gravity of approximately 0.97, Bio Flo+ Media remains easily suspended in moving bed systems. When aerated within the filter chamber the media tumbles freely, ensuring that the bacterial biofilm constantly receives oxygen rich water.

The result is a highly active biological filter capable of processing large amounts of waste while maintaining excellent water clarity and stable pond conditions.

Designed for Moving Bed Biological Filtration

Burtons Bio Flo+ Media is engineered specifically for moving bed biological filtration systems such as Burtons Bio Chambers and other fluidised bed filters.

When air is introduced into the filter chamber the media begins to circulate and tumble continuously. This movement exposes the biofilm to oxygen rich water while preventing debris from accumulating on the media surface.

The wheel shaped design with internal fins protects beneficial bacteria from being stripped away during vigorous movement. As a result the bacterial colonies remain stable while maintaining a thin and highly active biofilm layer.

This constant movement ensures highly efficient biological filtration and helps maintain excellent water quality in ponds and aquatic systems.

Works Perfectly with Burtons Bio Tube Media

Burtons Bio Flo+ Media performs exceptionally well when combined with Burtons Bio Tube Media within biological filter chambers.

Because the two media types have different shapes and structures, they gently collide and bounce against each other as they circulate within the moving bed chamber. This interaction increases the tumbling or boiling motion of the media which improves circulation and oxygen distribution throughout the filter.

The increased movement also helps maintain a healthy and active biofilm while preventing excessive build up on the media surface.

For this reason Burtons often recommends a mixed media setup using approximately 50 percent Bio Flo+ Media and 50 percent Bio Tube Media within biological chambers to maximise filtration performance.

Excellent Flow and Low Risk of Clogging

Burtons Bio Flo+ Media features large open channels which allow water to pass freely through the media.

With a voidage of approximately 63 percent, the design promotes excellent water flow while preventing debris build up. This helps maintain a thin biofilm layer which remains highly active and efficient.

The open structure also reduces the risk of clogging which ensures reliable long term biological filtration.
