Lifegard Aquatics – Turbo Side Flow Media Reactor
Compact, efficient, and designed for maximum media performance, the Lifegard Turbo Media Reactor delivers powerful filtration in a space-saving format. Ideal for biopellets, carbon, GFO, and other filtration media, this reactor uses a unique side-flow design to create a vortex-style motion that keeps media properly suspended and prevents clumping.
The spinning action enhances contact time between water and media, improving overall efficiency. For carbon and GFO applications, each unit includes diffusion plates and foam pads to ensure even flow and controlled movement.
Installation is simple. Add the recommended amount of media, place the reactor in your sump, and power it on. The integrated Quiet One Pro pump is mounted beneath the reactor body, reducing footprint while delivering consistent, energy-efficient flow.
