Drum Filter AG-RD10

The RD-10 (or RDF-10) drum filter is a highly compact, automatic self-cleaning rotary drum filter. It is explicitly engineered for smaller aquatic systems, such as boutique koi ponds, large indoor aquariums, quarantine tanks, and small aquaponics setups.

Quick Facts

• Model Name: RD-10 Drum Filter
• Filter Type: Automatic Rotary Drum Filter
• Application: Koi ponds, aquaculture systems, aquarium filtration, RAS systems
• Filtration Method: Mechanical micro-screen filtration
• Micron Size: Usually 40–60 micron stainless steel mesh
• Function: Removes fish waste, debris, and suspended particles automatically
• Cleaning System: Auto backwash/self-cleaning spray system
  
• Water Flow Capacity: Around 10,000 liters per hour (10 m³/h) depending on setup
• Main Benefits: Crystal clear water, low maintenance, reduced manual cleaning
• Power Supply: 220–240V AC (varies by manufacturer)
• Backwash Feature: High-pressure spray nozzles clean the drum automatically
• Waste Removal: Separate sludge drain outlet for dirty water discharge
• Maintenance Level: Low maintenance design
• Water Saving: Efficient filtration with minimal water loss
  

Key Technical Features

• 70-Micron Filtration: Features an ultra-fine woven screen that mechanically traps particles smaller than a grain of sand.
• Integrated Spray Bar: Equipped with targeted high-pressure nozzles that instantly blast debris off the mesh into the waste gutter.
• Low-Wattage Drive: Uses a sealed, low-voltage gear motor to rotate the drum safely and efficiently with minimal power draw.
• Corrosion-Proof Housing: Crafted from solid Polypropylene (PP) or marine-grade stainless steel to ensure zero rust in fresh or saltwater.

Core Operational Benefits

• Crystal Clear Water: Instantly separates fish waste and organic debris from the water column before it can dissolve and cause cloudiness.
• Algae Control: By physically removing solid waste before it breaks down, it drastically lowers the nutrient levels (ammonia and nitrates) that fuel algae blooms.
• Bio-Filter Longevity: Protects downstream biological media from getting choked with sludge, maximizing the efficiency of your beneficial bacteria.
• Ultra-Compact Footprint: Delivers exceptional filtration performance while taking up a fraction of the space required by traditional settlement vortexes or multi-chamber boxes.
