Hydroponic and Irrigation Systems

T.A BioFiltre / bio-filter for hydroponic systems

An effective solution for a pathogen-free solution. An important tool for successful gardeners, useful in both hydroponics and soil.

BioFiltre brings life to water thanks to T.A SubCulture. In hydroponic systems, and even more so in soil, a symbiosis develops between plants and microorganisms, supporting conversion of organic matter into an available food source.

Mechanical effect:

The biofilter purifies, detoxifies and aerates the water or working solution;

The internal sponge retains all floating debris;

The zig-zag cascade oxygenates and detoxifies the solution by eliminating harmful volatile compounds released by roots;

Biological effect:

SubCulture colonises roots and creates a protective barrier that suppresses the emergence and development of pathogenic microorganisms;
Helps convert organic matter into a plant-available form, increasing nutrient salts;
Facilitates mineral salt uptake;

Use the filter to bring life to the solution and avoid harmful plant stress effects: for example, when temperatures are high, the substrate is poorly aerated or ventilation is ineffective, plants suffer oxygen deficiency in the root zone and become susceptible to infections.

Easy to use, assemble and maintain, BioFiltre is a solution to all root problems.
