MultiCyclone 16 FilterCentrifugal Pre-FiltrationRK2 System presents the award winning MultiCyclone 16 filter. The MultiCyclone 16 is a brilliant pre-filtration device that works on the basis of centrifugal water filtration and is designed with no moving parts and no filter media to clean or replace.
• Minimizes filter maintenance and saves water
• No filter media to clean or replace
• Suitable for new and existing installations
• 2 year warranty

Ease Filter WorkloadMultiCyclone 16 pre-filters up to 80% of the filter’sincoming dirt load easing the workload of thepond filter. As the MultiCyclone 16 interceptsmore and more dirt, the flow rate remains unchanged.
• Improving pond water circulation
• Enhancing the performance of the entire pond filtration system
• Minimizing filter maintenance and saving water
Minimize Backwash FrequencyThe installation of a MultiCyclone 16 as a pre-filter to a sand filter can reduce its backwash frequency, resulting in a saving of up to 1850 gallons of water per year for an average pond or water feature.
Minimize Cartridge Cleaning and ReplacementThe installation of a MultiCyclone 16 as a pre-filter to a cartridge filter can reduce filter cartridge cleaning and replacement.
Centrifugal Water FiltrationThe MultiCyclone 16 works on the basis of centrifugal water filtration. There are no moving parts to wear and tear, and no filter media to clean or replace.1. Incoming water enters 16 hydro cyclones tangentially, gener-
ating a strong centrifugal effect.
2. The sediment is spun out to the hydro cyclone’s wall, and then spirals down to the sediment chamber*.
3. The filtered water migrates towards the centre of the hydro cyclone where the flow reverses and spirals upwards through the outlet.
4. Accumulation of sediment can be visibly monitored through the MultiCyclone 16’s clear sediment chamber.
*Note: The MultiCyclone 16 is designed to filter sediment that is heavier than water, floating debris cannot be filtered out by centrifugal filtration.
Simple MaintenanceThe MultiCyclone 16 is easily cleaned by opening its purge valve. Only 4 gallons of water is discharged to cleanse the MultiCyclone 16.

Note: When a RK2 System MultiCyclone 16 Centrifugal Water Filter is installed within a pond filtration system it is strongly recommended that no granular pond chemicals are added to the pond water through the pond skimmer box, unless there is the option to bypass the MultiCyclone 16.
Note: All pond chemical or additives are to be added to the pond water as instructed by the manufacturer’s procedures, only.
WarrantyMultiCyclone 16 is covered by a 2 year warranty and 1 year warranty on labor. Commercial installations are covered by a 1 year warranty. The RK2 System MultiCyclone 16 is designed to work effectively with RK2 System’s extensive range of pumps and filters.
