A swirl filter is an essential bit of kit in a larger aquaponics farm. It reduces the amound of solid fish waste from circulating through the system that can clog up the plant roots and stop them from taking up valuable oxygen in the water.
Buying a swirl filter cab be extremely difficult to source. The solution is to make your own and it's not as difficult as it sounds.
Here, John Bowskill explains how he followed the bonus course available in the Aquaponics Design Course and he built his own swirl filter - and it works exactly as directed and will give him many years of trouble free service. How good is that?
