The Red Label PRO Drum 100/200 XL Drum Filter is a professional, high-capacity automatic drum filter designed for large koi ponds and demanding high-flow pond filtration systems.
Designed for installations requiring substantial water movement and efficient mechanical filtration, the PRO Drum 100/200 XL has a maximum specified flow rate of up to 180 m³/h (180,000 litres per hour).
The drum filter uses 70-micron INOX screens to mechanically remove suspended waste from the pond water before it continues to the next stage of the filtration system. Its automatic cleaning system helps maintain water flow through the filter while reducing the need for routine manual cleaning.
Automatic Drum Filtration
The Red Label PRO Drum 100/200 XL provides continuous mechanical filtration for large koi ponds and high-flow pond systems.
Pond water passes through the rotating drum screens, where suspended debris is captured. As waste accumulates on the screens, the water level difference triggers the automatic cleaning cycle. The drum rotates while the spray system cleans the screens, allowing the filtration process to continue.
This automated process helps reduce the manual maintenance associated with conventional mechanical pond filters.
High-Flow Koi Pond Filtration
With a maximum specified flow rate of up to 180 m³/h, the Red Label PRO Drum 100/200 XL is designed for substantial koi pond filtration systems.
This equates to a maximum specified flow of 180,000 litres per hour.
Actual flow rates will depend on the complete pond installation and can be affected by factors including:
- Pump selection
- Pipe diameter and configuration
- Pipework length
- Head losses
- Pond layout
- Water levels
- Operating conditions
The filtration system should therefore be correctly designed to suit the individual pond and required flow rate.
70-Micron INOX Filter Screens
The Red Label PRO Drum 100/200 XL is fitted with 70-micron INOX filter screens for fine mechanical filtration.
The screens capture suspended particles and physical waste from the pond water before it moves on to the next stage of filtration.
The 100/200 XL uses eight 100 x 40cm screen panels, providing a substantial filtration surface area suitable for high-flow applications.
Automatic Cleaning System
One of the key features of the PRO Drum 100/200 XL is its automatic screen cleaning system.
As waste builds up on the filter screens, the automatic cleaning cycle removes the accumulated debris. This helps maintain effective water flow through the drum and reduces the requirement for regular manual screen cleaning.
The PRO specification includes:
- Built-in PRO spray pump
- 60 Nm gear motor
- PRO IP65 control box
The automatic cleaning system is designed to provide reliable operation for substantial koi pond filtration installations.
Multiple 110 mm Connections
The Red Label PRO Drum 100/200 XL has extensive connection capacity to accommodate high-flow pond filtration systems.
The filter features:
- 11 × 110 mm inlets
- 6 × 110 mm outlets
- 1 × 110 mm waste drain
The multiple 110 mm connections provide flexibility when designing larger filtration systems incorporating multiple bottom drains, skimmers and return circuits.
Correct hydraulic design and pipework sizing remain important when determining the appropriate configuration for each installation.
Gravity-Fed or Pump-Fed Installation
The Red Label PRO Drum 100/200 XL can be used in gravity-fed or pump-fed pond filtration systems.
The appropriate configuration will depend on the design of the pond and the wider filtration system.
For gravity-fed installations, particular attention should be given to operating water levels, pipe sizing and hydraulic capacity to ensure the system can achieve the required flow.

Designed for Large Koi Ponds
The Red Label Pro Drum 100/200 XL Drum Filter is designed for large koi ponds and filtration systems where high flow capacity and automatic mechanical filtration are required.
Its combination of a large filtration surface, 70-micron INOX screens and multiple 110 mm connections makes it suitable for substantial pond installations.
As a mechanical filtration stage, the drum filter removes physical waste from the water before it reaches subsequent stages of the filtration system. Appropriate biological filtration should therefore be incorporated separately as part of the overall pond filtration design.
Choosing a Red Label Drum Filter
Selecting the correct drum filter depends on factors such as pond volume, desired turnover rate, pump capacity, pipework, number of bottom drains and the overall filtration system design.
The Red Label Pro Drum 100/200 XL is intended for high-capacity applications where a substantial flow rate and extensive connection capacity are required.
If you are unsure which drum filter is appropriate for your pond, consider the complete filtration system rather than selecting the drum based on pond volume alone. Pump performance, pipework and the required turnover rate all need to be considered.
