Innovative Polisher For Ponds
The Tempest polisher is easy to install and is simple and quick to clean, by way of a unique, patented air syphon design
(UK Patent No. GB2550495B).
During the cleaning process, air is drawn into the vessel as it empties which causes the water to agitate, effectively cleaning the K+Media.
Key Features
Upgraded For Ease of Use & Reliability
Improved Waste Valve Assembly
Strong double union ball valves with new air inlet with valve to offer better control and reliability.
Double Union Ball Valves
1½” Double union ball valves for the inlet and outlet.
New Mounting Brackets
Robust and long-lasting 3mm thick pair of brackets. Quick to install and easy to adjust.
How it works?
Filtration Mode
Water is pumped up through the Tempest polisher. The K+Media moves to the top of the vessel, becoming a mechanical barrier that traps debris as it flows through the system. Waste is trapped in the media pack until the cleaning cycle dislodges it and it gets flushed away.
Cleaning Mode
The Tempest polisher can be cleaned in matter of minutes, by simply closing the inlet/outlet valves, turning the pump off and opening the waste ball valve and air inlet valve.

Installing the Tempest Polisher
There are a number of ways the Tempest polisher can be installed on your pond system. Below are some typical installation ideas.
PLEASE NOTE: The ball valves fitted to the Tempest allow connection to 1½” pressure pipe. If installing Tempest using flexible hose you will need to fit a reducing sleeve (EA Code: M35-050) and a 1½” solvent weld stepped hosetail (EA Code: HOSETAIL15) inside each ball valve.
To allow the Tempest to give the best performance, it is important that the flow rate is no more than the 5,000 litres per hour. Some of the installation examples show a by-pass that will enable you to increase the flow through the pond.

Advanced Filtration Media
After many years of research, Evolution Aqua have now developed a new media that not only gives class leading surface area, but also overcomes the problem of long maturation times.
K+Media is designed and manufactured in the UK by Evolution Aqua. This advanced media, with its innovative design, and class leading surface area provides enhanced biological and mechanical filtration.
As Evolution Aqua extrude K+Media, Minerals and Enzymes are added to the raw material. The result of this process, unique to Evolution Aqua, is a filtration media that not only outperforms most of its competitors due to its large protected surface area, but also answers the problem of how to speed up the time taken to mature your filter.
