Filtreau Excellent Combi Drum 60/80 XL – Pump Fed
Maximum Capacity XL Pump Fed Drum Filtration System for Large Koi and Commercial Pond Installations
The Filtreau Excellent Combi Drum 60/80 XL Pump Fed is one of the most powerful filtration systems in the Excellent range. Designed specifically for high flow pump fed installations, this XL combi unit provides strong mechanical separation and substantial biological capacity for demanding koi pond systems.
With overall dimensions of approximately 2100mm x 1117mm x 1005mm, this model offers a significantly enlarged drum chamber and expanded internal bio volume. As a result, it suits very large koi ponds, estate water features and commercial aquatic installations where high turnover and stability are essential.
In pump fed configurations, the 60/80 XL supports flow rates of up to approximately 80000 litres per hour. It is typically suited for koi ponds in the region of 80000 to 100000 litres depending on stocking levels, and ornamental systems up to approximately 160000 to 180000 litres.
High Capacity Mechanical Filtration with Integrated UV
At the centre of the system sits a large stainless steel drum fitted with a precision 120 micron screen. This fine mesh removes suspended solids before they reach the biological chamber. Consequently, the bio stage remains cleaner and more stable under heavy feeding conditions.
When debris restricts flow, the stainless steel float switch activates the automatic cleaning cycle. The industrial 130Nm SPG XL motor rotates the drum while high pressure spray nozzles clean the mesh. Meanwhile, the internal RVS 5 bar 600W flushing pump powers the wash cycle.
As a result, the filter maintains consistent performance even at very high pump fed flow rates.
The 60/80 XL Pump Fed includes an 80W high output stainless steel immersion UV unit operating at 253.7nm. This helps control green water algae and harmful microorganisms while supporting clear, stable pond conditions.
Enlarged Biological Chamber and Media Configuration
The 60/80 XL Pump Fed features a substantial biological chamber designed to hold approximately 200 to 250 litres of filter media.
For optimal biological performance, we recommend using 200 to 250 litres of Hel-X 13 moving bed media. However, you must maintain sufficient void space to allow proper tumbling and continuous oxygenation.
Many advanced systems also incorporate Japanese matting within the static section to provide additional surface area and water polishing.
The unit is supplied without Hel-X or Japanese matting. Therefore, media must be purchased separately to suit stocking density and feeding intensity.
Aeration Requirements
To support the large biological volume, the 60/80 XL comes pre fitted with 4 x 50mm x 300mm air bars. These ensure full oxygenation and consistent media movement across the chamber.
For this model, we recommend the Charles Austen ET200 air pump to maintain stable aeration under high biological load.
Proper aeration prevents dead zones, supports nitrifying bacteria and maintains long term biological stability.
