Waterco MultiCyclone 12 Plus Cartridge Pond Pre-Filter
The Waterco MultiCyclone 12 Plus is a compact centrifugal pre-filter that removes heavier particles before they reach the main pond filter. Water is divided between 12 plus cartridge hydrocyclones, creating centrifugal force that spins dirt into the clear lower chamber.
The Plus model adds a 40ft² / 3.7m² cartridge after the hydrocyclone chamber. This second stage captures finer particles than the centrifugal section alone, but the cartridge must be removed and cleaned periodically.
Why install a centrifugal pre-filter?
- Reduces the solids load on bead, cartridge and biological filters
- Clear sediment chamber shows when purging is required
- Approximately 15 litres of water used for a typical purge
- No backwashing media in the centrifugal stage
- Maximum working pressure: 3.5 bar
- Specified flow range: 2.4–9 m³/hour
- Connections: 1.5 inch / 50 mm
Choose the correct MultiCyclone
Choose MultiCyclone 12 for compact 50mm circuits, MultiCyclone 16 Gen2 for higher flows through 63mm connections, or MultiCyclone 12 Plus when the built-in second-stage cartridge is useful.
Installation advice
Fit the unit after a suitable pump and before the main filter where the clear chamber and purge valve can be reached. Use isolation valves, maintain the full connection bore where practical and route the waste line so it cannot siphon or flood the equipment area.
A MultiCyclone is a pond pre-filter, not a complete biological system. Pair it with suitable biological filtration and a pond UV where green-water control is required.
Frequently asked questions
Does it need replacement filter media?
The hydrocyclone stage does not, but the Plus model contains a serviceable cartridge.
How often is it purged?
Use the clear chamber as the guide. Frequency depends on waste load and flow rather than a fixed calendar interval.
Will it remove blanket weed?
It is designed for suspended heavier solids, not long strands of blanket weed. Prevent large debris from entering the pump.
Can it be gravity fed?
It requires pressure and is normally installed after a pump. Follow the Waterco installation arrangement for the exact model.
