ProfiDrum filters have heavy-duty German gearboxes, and substantial shafts, couple to the drum with a stainless hub, so that no flexing can occur within the drive system. All ProfiDrum models use American ceramic tipped spray nozzles, whichs can be removed in seconds, and don’t run the risk of damaging the threads of conventional nozzles. These nozzles also use less water for cleaning, than competitors drums. ProfiDrum supply only a very high quality high-pressure pump. We feel that to compromise in this area, could possibly tarnish the ProfiDrum brand.

ProfiDrum filtration systems have a CE-marking. The CE marking is our declaration that the product meets the requirements of the applicable EC directives. More information about the CE-marking can be found here.

All ProfiDrum use a control system that has stood the test of time, with no moving parts. They also feature low level shutdowns. Optional systems can also include GSM failure alert systems, which can be useful in sending SMS messages/emails in the event of drum failure, or power cuts.

With a ProfiDrum filter you have or will have one of most effective and self-cleaning system on the market. Sometimes people refer to our systems as being "maintenance-free" but we do not agree. When you forget your system in time it is always a risk that you do not notice a change in circumstances for whatever reason. Therefore we would like to say that we are very proud of the feedback of our users, but DO recommend a weekly check on the system. Just open the lid, it is created for that ;), and do a visual inspection. That's all there is, we call that "maintenance poor".

Our drumfilters are constructed with a 70micron woven Stainless Steel mesh that hardly needs maintenance. In situations of heavy feeding in combination with high stock rates sometimes the mesh can colour a bit brown with certain quality of food. This is caused by the proteins in the water, and is easily removed with hydrochloric acid.

The open design of the ProfiDrum filter allow for a visual inspection of possible dirt that remain in the dirt collector. ProfiDrum advises to check the waste tray every week on blocking or jamming piles of debris that may influence the cleaning of the system. Remove these by hand, and clean afterwards by initiating a cleaning cycle (using the "manual" button on the control box). Autumn is not very forgiving to any kind of filtration system due to leaves falling (and hard to transport when wet), so be alert with your visual inspections that time of the season.

A ProfiDrum system is equipped by default to run in different compositions. Whether your system is designed for gravity-based filtration, or you prefer to use airlift or pump to feed your mechanical and biological filter line: by adjusting the position of the probes and adjusting the settings of the control box you can run your system any way you like! This flexibility is considered important to us, it keeps the owner in control.

If you plan to use your ProfiDrum filtration system being fed by Gravity, make sure that that your water level is just below the waste tray. This way you will have maximum efficiency.

The picture below shows a regular installation based on gravity-fed systems:

If you plan to use your ProfiDrum filtration system being fed by Pump, it is really simple to change your configuration for that.

If you plan to use your ProfiDrum filtration system being fed by Airlift, there is not much you need to do. You install your system the same way as a pump-fed system, and adjust the cleaning height using the probes in the drumfilter as desired. That's all there is, just make sure that you do not put your probes too deep as this causes fluctuations in water level downstream.

Your ProfiDrum manual contains a section on how to connect your control box to your drumfilter. For convenience, we have created an abstract in a separate document that is handy for keeping aside when connecting. Both the manual and the abstract can be found in our document-section and are available for downloading.

If you plan to use your ProfiDrum filtration system in salt water, you do not have to take additional steps other than with regular water. Our RDF filtration systems are built with Stainless Steel 316 which has industry-standard resistance to oxidation processes. All components comply to standards for application in salt(ed) water.

In certain cases treatment of water is needed. Our filtration systems are resistant to medicines, oxidation products or any treatment for fish. All components have been thoroughly selected to withstand the strongest treatments.

No, not at all. The “IntelliClean” program already contains all the logic for an optimised cleaning plan. ProfiDrum Manager alerts you of its activities on the front panel so that you have a visual status. ProfiDrum Manager utilises a RJ45 (Ethernet) connection for connecting to local network(s). When connected to a local network, the built-in web interface enriches the user with information and controls.

ProfiDrum Manager is designed by the “Plug&Play” principle, our manual contains information on how to integrate ProfiDrum Manager into your local network. You can download your copy in the download-section.

Please be aware that ProfiDrum can NOT take any responsibility on other components than those delivered by ProfiDrum including your domestic cabling, access router or internet connection.

Yes, you can. ProfiDrum Manager is equipped with an active RJ45 (Ethernet) connector you can use to connect to your home network. With knowledge of your access router, firewall, firewall rules and policies you can open up your domestic internet router and forward (HTML-)requests to ProfiDrum Manager. From whole around the globe!

Configuration of your domestic network configuration is NOT supported/serviced by ProfiDrum. If you don’t feel comfortable in configuring this yourself, please consult internet-resources or a local ICT-experienced person.

No, you can't but we got you! ProfiDrum Manager is only accessible by a cabled connection. Please refer to our manual where we wrote down some hints a tips to extend your network using e.g. PowerLine-adapters to bring a network connection straight into your filtration area.

ProfiDrum Manager is designed to maximise the availability of your filtration system. Using our unique “IntelliClean” programs we have done all the work for you, and adaption of specific parameters is not needed anymore. But if you want to tailor to your own specific needs: yes, we support that. You can even initiate a cleaning cycle directly from your device!

Not at all, ProfiDrum has decided to build ProfiDrum Manager on top of current technology frameworks incorporating modern technologies, using HTML5 as the dominant web technology. This ensures a fully supported feature set on any modern device or operating system.

ProfiDrum Manager has been tested to be compatible with:

• Windows 7 and higher
• Mac OSX
• Linux
• Android 4x and higher
• Windows Phone 8 and higher
• iOS 8 and higher

This can be done on request, ProfiDrum Manager offers a rich set of information using our API that enables you to retrieve data for further analysis or processing.
