Sea Side Aquatics C22-TF Rotating Drum Filter with Bakki Shower Self-Cleaning

Cleaner Ponds Made Simple With the Sea Side Aquatics C22-TF RDF Filter

Tired of murky water and hours spent scrubbing out debris by hand? Your fish deserve better, and so do you. This all-in-one unit pulls dirty water through a rotating drum that catches particles down to 75 microns, then rinses itself clean automatically. Add the Bakki Shower stage on top and you get mechanical and biological filtration working together in one quiet, hands-off system. Clear water, healthier fish, less work for you.

• Self-cleaning drum: Rotating mesh drum traps debris and rinses itself automatically with the built-in internal cleaning pump.
• Fine filtration: Catches particles down to 75 microns for clear, healthy water.
• Bakki Shower stage: Adds biological filtration on top of mechanical, with 3 media trays holding about 5 to 6 cubic feet of media (sold separately).
• High flow capacity: Rated for 6,000 GPH, suited to larger ponds with demanding filtration needs.
• Plumbing setup: 3 x 1.5" inlets and a 4 x 4" outlet for smooth, unrestricted water movement.
• Feed requirement: Pump fed only, requires an external pump to push water into the unit.
• Low maintenance: Automatic rinse function keeps mesh clear without manual scrubbing.
• Installation planning: Measured technical drawing included, showing all views with millimetre dimensions and port placement.

Rotating Drum Cleans Itself Automatically on the Sea Side Aquatics C22-TF Pond Filter

The heart of this system is a spinning drum wrapped in fine mesh that traps debris as water passes through. Inside the tank you will find twin rotating drum sections, both wrapped in fine filtration mesh. Once solids build up on the screen, the automatic rinse function kicks in, spraying the mesh clean and flushing waste out of the unit.

• Fully automated so you are not stopping to clean clogged pads
• Built-in INTERNAL cleaning pump, mounted at the front bottom of the tank, powers the rinse cycle
• Waste is flushed away, keeping the media clear and flow steady

This is a pump-fed only unit, so your pump pushes water into the filter for reliable, continuous operation.

75 Micron Mechanical Filtration

Fine 75 micron mesh is what separates crisp, clear water from cloudy ponds. As water flows through the drum, suspended particles are caught on the screen surface before they ever reach your fish or the biological stage. A black spray bar and rows of red and white rinse valves feed across the drum surface above the collection trough, while a row of red and black spray-bar valves runs along the drum's full length.

• Removes debris down to 75 microns
• Red and white spray-bar rinse valves keep the mesh clear across its full length
• Consistent filtration that does not choke your flow rate

The result is water that looks clean and stays clean, with far less manual maintenance on your end.

Three Media Trays Power the Biological Stage on the Sea Side Aquatics C22-TF Bakki Shower Filter

Trapping debris is only half the battle. This unit stacks a Bakki Shower on top, where water trickles over media to grow beneficial bacteria that break down harmful waste your mesh cannot catch. The perforated media tray chamber sits to the right of the drum.

• 3 media trays holding roughly 5 to 6 cubic feet of media (sold separately)
• Biological and mechanical filtration combined in one system
• Supports a healthier, better-balanced pond environment

Big Flow Handling for Larger Ponds

Undersized filtration is a common reason ponds stay dirty. This unit is rated for serious volume, so it keeps up with demanding setups.

• Rated for 6,000 GPH flow through the unit
• 3 x 1.5" inlets for feeding water in
• 4 x 4" outlet for returning filtered water

That generous plumbing keeps water moving freely without creating bottlenecks.
