Driptech Connect - Rotary Drum Filter (RDF) 5000LPH

DripTech Connect Rotary Drum Filter – Automatic Mechanical Filtration

The DripTech Connect Rotary Drum Filter is a high-performance automatic mechanical filtration unit designed to deliver crystal-clear water in aquariums, fishrooms, and multi-tank connected systems. Engineered for reliability and seamless integration, it provides continuous removal of solid waste before it can break down — dramatically improving water quality and reducing maintenance.

Built to integrate directly with the DripTech Connect ecosystem, the rotary drum filter uses fine mechanical screening and an automatic spray cleaning system to efficiently capture and remove particulate waste from high-flow aquarium systems. Its modular design allows it to function as a standalone mechanical stage or as part of a complete DripTech Connect filtration chain.

Designed for serious hobbyists and professional installations, the DripTech Connect Rotary Drum Filter delivers consistent mechanical filtration performance across large-volume and high-bioload setups.

Flow Capacity Guide

Each DripTech Connect Rotary Drum Filter model is rated by its flow capacity (LPH). For typical aquarium stocking levels, a general rule of thumb is that a drum filter can support a total system volume of approximately double its rated LPH.

For example:

• Rotary Drum 3000 → suited to ~6,000 L total system volume

• Rotary Drum 5000 → suited to ~10,000 L total system volume

Actual capacity will vary depending on stocking density, feeding levels, and waste production. Heavily stocked or high-bioload systems may require larger filtration capacity.
