Product Information

Pentair LifeGard Fluidized Bed Filter FB600

The Lifeguard Fluidized Bed Filter is a high capacity biological filter for fresh or saltwater aquariums 

Beneficial bacteria attach to the media within the Fluidized Bed Filter creating a thin film around the sand grains. Water is pumped up through the unit lifting the sand into a Fluidized bed. The beneficial bacteria attach to the media and draw in oxygen, supplied by Rainbow's exclusive water fall device and other required nutrients from the passing water, converting ammonia and nitrites to relatively harmless nitrates 

The sand grains are in continual free fall throughout the water resulting in an excellent transfer capability between the liquid and the bacterial film on the media. In addition the sand grains bump into each other frequently knocking off excess debris and providing a self-cleaning function which allows new areas for bacterial growth 

The FB600 is rated for aquariums up to 2200 litres. It is most effective at low flow rates. Lower flow rates increase the contact time between the bacteria and the toxic ammonia and nitrite compounds that they utilize
