Evolution Aqua K1 MICRO Filter Media

Evolution Aqua K1 Micro Filter Media – High-Performance Compact Filtration

Building on over 20 years of innovation in moving bed technology, K1 Micro is an advanced evolution of the original K1 Filter Media. Designed by Evolution Aqua, K1 Micro features a protected surface area of 950m² per m³, nearly double that of standard K1, allowing even greater colonisation of beneficial bacteria and faster bio-film development.

This compact media is perfect for applications where space is limited, yet high filtration performance is essential. Ideal for use in bead filters, pressure filters, conventional pond systems, as well as marine and freshwater aquariums, K1 Micro enhances both mechanical and biological filtration while maintaining excellent water flow and reducing pump back pressure.

Its increased surface area and fine structure also offer better protection for bio-films, while improving solids handling and cleaning efficiency—making it the perfect upgrade for high-performance filtration systems.

Key Features:

• Massive 950m²/m³ protected surface area for superior bacterial growth
• Improved solids handling and enhanced mechanical filtration
• Reduces back pressure on pumps and increases flow rates
• Delivers quicker filter maturation and stable biofilm formation
• Ideal for bead filters, pressure filters, and aquarium filters
• Designed for both pond and aquarium systems – marine and freshwater
• Compact and efficient – perfect for high-performance or space-limited filters
• Manufactured in the UK by Evolution Aqua
