Drum Filter RDF 30 PRO – Professional Automatic Pre-Filter
How Does the Drum Filter Work?
The Drum Filter RDF 30 PRO is a pre-filter system with a fully automatic cleaning process. Water flows through the inlets into the first chamber of the filter and then to the drum. Next, the drum, which is equipped with a special stainless steel 316L filter panel, filters fish waste and pond debris from the water.
The innovative controller and sensor will detect when the drum requires cleaning. Once the sensor/controller deems the drum sieves to be dirty, it will rotate the drum and activate high pressure water jets that eject the debris into the drain gutter, which then dispenses as a slurry out of the Drum Filter waste/drain pipe.
How to Install the Drum Filter
The RDF 30 PRO comes complete with all necessary parts and is easy to install. The system has three inlets, two outlets and one drain pipe. You can connect the inlets and outlets to your pipework with flexible rubber couplings. In addition, these rubber couplings can compensate for small differences in dimensions and absorb vibration. The required size of the couplings is 110mm (4”).
If you have smaller size pipes or hoses, use a reducer coupling to go from 110mm (4”) to 50mm (2”) for example. Use 110mm (4”) flexible rubber end caps for the in and outlets you don’t want to use.
Furthermore, gravity and pump fed are both possible. We supply the RDF 30 PRO as standard for pump-fed systems. To use the filter for a gravity fed installation, just move the water sensor to holder number 2 (watch video). For further details about the installation, see the manual.

Wir haben zwei Trommelfilter an unserem Teich installiert und sind sehr zufrieden mit der Qualität. Wir sind gespannt, wie viele Algen sie im Sommer aus dem Wasser entfernen.
La livraison du filtre a pris 2 semaines alors qu’ils avaient annoncé 1 semaine. Sinon, le filtre a l’air vraiment bien. Nous avons vendu plusieurs marques de filtres à tambour, mais la qualité d’Aqua Exclusive est juste un peu meilleure que les autres. Nous commanderons bientôt plus de filtres ! Max, merci pour ton temps et tes conseils.
I was asked to leave a review.
The installation is simple and it cleans itself automatic. Our clients like it, and it helps our work stand out. Good filter for aquaculture installations!

I’ve had a koi pond for years, and the RDF 30 PRO is the best filter I’ve ever gotten. It came fast with FedEx in a wooden crate, so it was safe and easy to open. Setting it up was simple. I didn’t need much help. Now my pond looks amazing! The water is super clear, and the filter cleans itself, so I don’t have to mess with it. My koi fish are happy and swimming around more. It costs a bit more, but it’s worth it for how good it works. If you love your koi and want a clean pond, this is the one to get!
El mejor filtro que he comprado, agua cristalina.
