The ParlaGravRoller is unequalled in its ease of media change*. No other roller-style filter makes it as easy to change the media**. Nor does any other filter make it as easy to see the status of the remaining and spent media***. Also. This may be the quietest gravity-based roller-style filter currently available****.
The ParlaGravRoller 24x5 is designed to span a two foot sump. It handles receiving water from the display tank via three 2" pipes and filtering it at the micron rating of the filtration roll used. Gravity has 77.5 square inches to filter your water.
If the media becomes too clogged, a high power geared motor housed within the cleverly designed filtration roll itself turns on for a programmable number of seconds to advance the media.
Once it is time to remove the spent media, It is as convenient as removing a single nylon bolt and sliding out all the electronics needed for the PrarlaGravRoller to operate. The spent media roll slides off the motor casing for easy disposal. Slide a newly 3D-printed spent media roll, attach the fresh media and you're ready to filter! See the video for a demonstration on media changing.
Constructed out of PVC, Nylon, and PETG with electrical components, these filters balance simplicity with function. Once the Motor and controller is removed, (one nylon bolt) the whole filter can be soaked to clean it.
These images are of the prototype. More to follow of an actual production unit.
