Bacteria House Media
The Bacteria house is a ceramic material that has been heat treated at 1300°c for 60hrs. This tremendous amount of heat causes the ceramic to break its internal bonds thereby creating an extremely porous structure that has a much greater surface to allow very large bacteria populations to colonise. Due to the large quantities of tiny holes, mechanical filtration is also achieved. Large organic solids and decaying matter are degraded at a far greater speed than conventional media. One of the key elements of the bacteria house is that it reacts in a seemingly 'electrostatic' manner with floating organic matter causing an increase in adhesion rate. This produces clear clean water at a rapid rate. Water in its natural state creates multiple bonds with surrounding water molecules creating a cluster. The bacteria house emits FAR infrared rays that break the bonds of the neighbouring water molecules thereby allowing more oxygen to be dissolved in the water.

Bakki Showers Systems
These are the genuine Momotaro Bakki Showers, and their amazing results have resulted in many expensive copies being made. Momotaro Bakki Showers are the only ones that use the Bacteria House filter media, which incidentally, is where the secret lies! Accept no alternatives. The media used with the Bakki Showers is 'Bacteria House' which is a carefully blended man made ceramic material, which is extruded, and then kiln fired at 1300c, for some 60 hours! This product does NOT contain calcium, and hence, will not become eroded by water. 'Bacteria House' is a media that has been designed, and refined to give optimum results in 'Bakki Showers', with no need for any other form of filtration. Benefits: Maintenance free Low system cost Complete bio-filtration, including nitrate reduction Extremely fast to mature Excellent water clarity Huge oxygenation ‘Far infra-red’ radiation from Bacteria House media freshens and deodorizes water Space saving design means that filtration for a 10,000 gallon pond of can occupy the space of conventional filtration for a 6000 gallon pond Fast recovery following power cuts. Won’t become oxygen-starved like a conventional filter Bacteria House media won’t wear away, block, or need replacing
