Bakki Shower Media

By heating it to 1800 degrees celsius the heat causes the ceramic to break its internal bonds thereby creating an extremely porous structure.

Bakki shower media. Bakki showers are offered at a premier range with various weir or chute options being available. There are alternative and less expensive types of media like feather rock pumice rock lava rock or chinese ceramic media and crystal bio made by another japanese koi farm from porous glass like media. The overall flaring of each tier of the bakki shower ensures that no water is spilled by the system and also keeps the water tracking evenly through the bacteria house media. I like kaldness but there are so many media on the market alfagrog bio balls hair curlers plastic shavings etc etc.

The flaring of the bakki shower systems makes sure that as the water runs off the outer extremities of the system it is thrown back directly onto the bacteria house media in the next tier. How shower filters work the basic layout of a bakki shower and that of its many copies is as shown in figure 3. Universally acknowleged as the most advanced and efficient filter system for koi ponds the bakki concept was created by momotaro president michio maeda and was based on extensive scientific research. In a four stack bakki shower 20lbs of momotaro media is used in each of the trays making it both expensive and heavy.

If you have a low ph the oyster shells will assist if your ph is high it will do nothing. Bakki showers and. There are endless options available for these systems as well as bespoke units which can be made to suit your own application. Food grade trays sitting on the support frame.

There is no real science to this the only thing that you want to watch out for is that the water can drain out of the container faster than it. Momotaro bakki showers are the only ones that use the bacteria house filter media which incidentally is where the secret lies. It then cascades in a similar manner over the media in the lower trays and finally collects in a the bottom tray from where it returns to the pond by gravity. This bakki shower design allows us to pull trays out individually when we need to clean them.

Momotaro bacteria house media is also extremely fast at colonising bacteria very resistant to damage from power failures or chemicals and very fast at bouncing back. This way csm can accommodate vast amounts of bacteria and microrganisms. Next we drilled holes in the bottom of the two top trays so the water has a way to get to the next tray. In the case of the zakki shower it relies on a porous man made.

All depends on your budget and availability. These are genuine momotaro bakki showers and their amazing results have resulted in many expensive copies being made. Ceramic shower media csm also known as midori infrared bacteria home is made with the highest quality ceramic materials such as tourmaline silica and germanium. After tumbling over the media it leaves the top tray through a grid or a series of holes drilled in its bottom.

Water is pumped from the pond and over the top of the highest tray of media. The principle is simple enough. All with different surface area for media to grow. The effect of the bakki shower using momotaro bacteria house media coupled with the smaller water clusters work very effectively at de odourising the water and also allows gases to be released thereby lightening the load on the biomass and making the systems considerably less kh consuming than conventional filtration.

Grand koi is an authorized agent for momotaro bacteria house bakki media the ceramic biological media powering the bakki house and bakki shower filters which took the koi world by storm.
