Red Label Hel-X Filter Media – Premium Moving Bed Biological Filtration
Red Label Hel-X Filter Media is a high-performance biological filter media engineered for professional koi pond filtration and commercial aquaculture systems. Designed for maximum bacterial colonisation, it delivers exceptional water clarity, stable water parameters, and long-term filtration reliability.
Because of its advanced structural design, Hel-X media provides consistent biological performance while remaining extremely durable and easy to maintain.
High Surface Area for Maximum Biological Activity
One of the most important advantages of Red Label Hel-X Filter Media is its exceptionally high protected surface area of 955 m² per m³.
This extensive surface area allows beneficial nitrifying bacteria to colonise quickly. As a result, ammonia and nitrite are efficiently converted into safer nitrate, helping maintain stable and healthy water conditions.
Furthermore, the protected internal structure shields biofilm from mechanical stress, ensuring continuous biological performance even in high-flow systems.
Advanced Design for Superior Filtration Performance
Optimised Bonding Surface
The precision-engineered internal geometry provides an ideal bonding structure for bacterial growth. Consequently, biofilm forms rapidly and remains stable, which supports long-term filtration efficiency.
Engineered Buoyancy
Red Label Hel-X media features a lightweight composition specifically designed for perfect suspension in moving bed filters.
Because the media moves freely within the chamber, oxygen transfer increases significantly. This continuous movement ensures maximum contact between bacteria and pond water.
Protected Biofilm Zone
The large protected internal surface area prevents biofilm from being stripped away during agitation. Therefore, bacterial colonies remain stable and highly active, even in powerful filtration systems.
Ideal Applications
Koi Ponds & Garden Ponds
Hel-X filter media integrates easily into moving bed chambers, drum filter combi systems, and biological filter stages. It helps maintain crystal-clear water while reducing maintenance requirements.
Commercial Aquaculture Systems
For large-scale fish production facilities, consistent water quality is critical. Red Label Hel-X provides scalable biological filtration capable of handling heavy stocking densities and high feeding rates.
Environmentally Efficient Filtration
Unlike chemical water treatments, Red Label Hel-X media supports natural biological filtration processes.
By promoting stable bacterial growth, it reduces reliance on additives and contributes to a more sustainable and environmentally responsible water management system.
