There is a small settlement chamber preceding this filter to drop heavy stuff like pebbles out of the water stream and catch leaves.
Mechanically cleaned water is pumped to a built to order shower from Florida-based Deepwater Koi. This is designed for 3cf of MP2C. The pressurised manifold ensures even distribution of water across all the MP2C.
This system needs almost no maintenance, being fed by water filtered to under 50 micron.
And that is all... A simple 2-stage filter design for ease of maintenance and high performance.

Look very impressive...would like to see it in action!
It can be a good alternative (or replacement!)to all existing filter design!
My only concern is the algae....not sure whether the algae in our climate will choke the drum design. This is one of the common problem for using the US and European design filter.
