GREEN LINE OWNER’S MANUAL
Overview
1.1 What is the Green Line BIO 25?
1.2 How does the Green Line BIO 25 work?
The Aqua Exclusive Green Line Bio Filter 25 is a compact self-cleaning biological lter. The
system is equipped with the latest techniques in the eld of water purication which results
in exceptional performance and very low energy consumption. The main function of the bio
lter is to convert toxic nutrients (ammonia and nitrite) into nitrates, a nutrient low in toxicity
which plants use for growth. Due to the special design, the water can ow through the lter
without any back pressure, which is an advantage compared to the well-known bead and
sand lters.
A biological lter is one of the key pieces of equipment in your lter line. Biological ltration
is a general term referring to the process of using benecial (nitrifying) bacteria to clean the
water on a molecular level. These nitrifying bacteria colonize on the bio media that is located
in the bio chamber, which naturally breaks down toxins as the water ows around. The Green
Line BIO 25 is also equipped with our newest designed air diusers. The nitrifying bacteria
need oxygen to convert ammonia and nitrite into nitrate and these air diusers provide mas-
sive water displacement resulting in optimal degassing and oxygen enrichment of the water.
This provides optimal conditions for the nitrifying bacteria. The bio lter is also self-cleaning
because the bio media is kept in motion by air bubbles from the air diusers and rub against
each other. This keeps the lter clean. The bacteria can live on the outside of the media or in
the protected surface area on the inside.
1.4 What is included
• Aqua Exclusive™ Green Line BIO 25
• 50L Bio media
• 24 months manufacturer’s warranty
• Lifetime customer support
The lter is delivered ready to use. So you don’t have to assemble the lter, which makes it
easy to install.

2. Safety information
This system may cause damage to property if you do not use it properly and in accordance
with all safety guidelines, or if you attempt to use it for any purpose other than that for which
it was designed.
• Before commissioning, check the entire device, mains lead and plug for damage. If dam-
age is found, the device may not be used. Contact our support team about the damage.
• We advice to install the lter in a dry, sheltered place. Not in direct sunlight. The lter can
be placed outside, but this shortens the lifespan of the lter.
• The device is suitable for fresh water and water temperatures between +4 to +35 °C.
• Outside this temperature range, the lter material may loses its strength and can break.
If you have any questions or concerns about your lter, you can email support@aqua-exclu-
sive.com or open the live chat at www.aqua-exclusive.com. Our support team is 24/7 avail-
able to help you.

Aqua ExclusiveTM Installation
The Green Line Bio 25 is a part of the Aqua Exclusive Green Line.
With the launch of the Aqua Exclusive™ Green Line, we bring a professional and complete
automatic lter line to the market. A very ecient en compact lter line with the latest tech-
niques in the eld of water purication. This premium lter line oers exceptional perfor-
mance with very low energy consumption.
The Aqua Exclusive Green Line is suitable for many applications because you can compose
your own lter setup. The dierent lter parts can be ordered separately so you can
make it suitable for the following applications:
- Aquaculture
- Fish Farms
- Koi Ponds
- Natural ponds
- Natural swimming ponds
- Aquaponics systems
- Hydroponics systems
- Aquariums
- And more...
3. Suitable for many applications

Installation 9
Aqua ExclusiveTM Installation
In this manual we show you how to install the Green Line Bio 25 on a pond, but the lter is
suitable for almost all freshwater applications. If you plan to install this system in a way that
deviates signicantly from the recommendations in this user manual, allow for a specialist to
inspect the installation to ensure that all technical specications have been met.
The lter must always be placed in a level position. The bottom of the lter must be com-
pletely supported. When positioning the lter, ensure that there is adequate space on all
sides so that you have room to perform maintenance.
Always use high-quality pipes with an adequate wall thickness. Lay the pipes at a downward
angle so that they can be fully emptied during the winter to protect them against frost.
Always use suitable transport and lifting equipment when transporting and assembling this
system.
This lter can only be used in combination with a pre-lter, for example the Green Line RDF
30.

6. Pump Fed setup
In a pump fed setup, a pump moves the water from the pond the lter. The water ows
through the lter and must be able to ow freely back into the pond. These lters are there-
fore always placed above water level, otherwise the lter will overow.
Figure 4: Pump fed setup overview
6.1 Advantage pump fed setup
6.2 Example pump fed setup
The advantage of a pump fed setup is that the lter is quick and easy to install. The disadvan-
tage is that you use more power than with a gravity setup.
5. Pump Fed or Gravity setup?
Before you start with the installation you need to know how you want to install your lter.
The Green Line BIO 25 can be used for both, gravity and pump fed setup.

Installation 11
Aqua ExclusiveTM Installation
A gravity fed lter works in the opposite way to a pump fed lter system, with the pump
drawing water away from the lter either via a suction hose, or been situated in the lter’s
nal chamber. Because gravity will always keep the water levels equal, when the pump pulls
water from the lter, pond water is replaced in the lter via the bottom drain. Gravity fed
systems are generally more ecient when compared to pump fed systems; bottom drains
require very little maintenance and are able to remove all pond waste, whereas pump cag-
es can become blocked over time.The pump in this system is pumping clean, ltered water
and therefore does not need as much maintenance. It also doesn’t usually need to pump the
water to as much of a head in comparison to many pump fed lter systems, so the ow-rate
isn’t reduced as much.There are no cables or hoses coming from the pond which can look
unsightly and may trap debris in the pond. Water entering the lter isn’t as turbulent as in a
pump fed system.
7. Gravity setup
Figure 5: Gravity setup overview
7.1 Advantage gravity setup
7.2 Example gravity setup
The big advantage of a gravity setup compared to a pump fed setup is that you need less
power to run the same amount of water through the lter. The disadvantage is that it takes
more time to install everything.

8. Water level
Max. water level line
It is important to maintain the correct water
level for an optimal operation of the lter
system. A lower water level will not make the
system work properly and higher water levels
can cause leaks.
8.1 Water level gravity setup:
- Min. water level: 320mm from the bottom (20mm below the max. level line)
- Max. water level: 340mm from the bottom (max. level line)
8.2 Water level pump fed setup:
- Min. water level: 320mm from the bottom (20mm below the max. level line)
- Max. water level: 340mm from the bottom (max. level line)

Pump fed setup: Top three outlets.
Gravity setup: Bottom three outlets.
For an optimal ow you need to use 3 outlets, if a low ow is sucient you can use 1 or 2 out-
lets. You can use a 4” exible rubber end cap for the outlets you dont use.

It is recommended to use exible rubber couplings when connecting the water lines. These
can compensate for small dierences in dimensions and also absorb vibration. This allows
you to connect the pvc pipes and various lter parts and makes the installation easy.

11. Slide Valve
For a gravity setup we advide to install slide valves or ball valves in front of and behind the
lter, so that the lter can be emptied during maintenance.

12. Installing the air pump
An air pump of 40 - 60 liters per minute must be connected to the bio lter. The air pump can
be connected to the bio lter with a hose.

13. Adjust air system
With the air ow meter and valve you can accurately set the air ow for the diusers.
This allows you to ensure that your system always functions optimally and you can connect
multiple bio lters to 1 air pump.

16 GREEN LINE OWNER’S MANUAL
Aqua ExclusiveTM Installation
We advice to check your lter system at least once a month.
It is important that the lter media moves around well and the lter is not dirty.
The lter media will change from white to brown over time because the good bacteria live on
the lter media.
