Bakki Showers represent the pinnacle of Koi pond filtration.
The secret lies in the 'Bacteria House' media, and it's effect is enhanced
greatly by the showered effect.
Bakki Showers are offered at two price points... 'Standard', or 'Premier',
with various weir or chute options being available. These systems are of the
same design shape, with the main difference between the two, being slightly
simplified construction techniques on the cheaper system.
'Bakki Showers' and 'Bacteria House' are patented Worldwide by Momotaro Koi
Farm. Our systems are the only ones made under license from Momotaro.
Because of the sheer expense of 'Bacteria House', we are doing our utmost to
keep the Shower prices to a bare minimum, so that the overall package
represents excellent value for money.

We are happy to sell three tier systems, but strongly recommend the use of
four tiers, as it is essential that the water has the chance to increase in
velocity between the four tiers. More tiers will give better results. We
also strongly recommend sticking to the use of Bacteria House in these
systems. Other medias will work to a degree in certain aspects, but only
Bacteria House will work if these systems are used as the sole filtration.
All of our Bakki Showers are made in 316 food grade stainless steel. We have
tried making cheaper plastic alternatives, but it has proved impossible to
get a system that had the advantages of the Stainless steel models. The
biggest problem we experienced with plastic, was that it was only viable to
have a drilled bottom, which was prone to regular blocking and trapping of
debris. So we have decided to stick solely to the stainless Bakki Showers.
All of our Bakki Showers have an open square mesh bottom. These units are
stamped out by computerised machinery, in such a way that the sides of the
systems are integrated with the mesh, making them much stronger than they
would be with a welded mesh. They are also fuse welded so that no metal is
added to the welds. It is the computer cutting of the steel that results in
the edges so be so accurately cut, that fuse welding is possible. This
ensures that the welds won't rust like conventional stainless welds. Also,
the nuts that are used to attach the support brackets, are pressed, not
welded. We have paid great attention to detail with these systems, and
spared no expense.
The overall flaring of each tier of the Shower ensures that no water is
spilled by the system (this was a minor problem with the discontinued
'version 2'), and also keeps the water tracking evenly through the media.
The older systems used to allow water to track down the vertical sides of
the system, hence missing some of the media by the time it got to the bottom
tier. The flaring of the 'version 3' systems prevents this by making sure
that as the water runs of the outer extremities of the system, it is thrown
back directly onto the media in the next tier. There are endless options
available for these systems, as well as bespoke units which can be made to
suit your own application. Enclosure accessories are also available, for
'over-winter', or open air applications.
The pond below features two systems with the 'weir' option. These two
systems are fed with water pumped directly from the bottom drains, with no
settlement, or additional filtration.
