Sump filter w/ c.o.d

A tower sump filter system for transferring water from a pond, stream, tank, or main tank/habitat chamber to an external filter system for processing water and returning the processed water back through the same tower sump filter system comprising:

• a cycleless biological aquatic water purification system (B.A.W.P.S.) with continuous oxygen diffusion (C.O.D.) injection;
• a bioskimmer configured to provide purification and circulation of water externally from the pond, stream, tank, or main tank/habitat chamber;
• wherein the tower sump filter system is adaptable for use as a freestanding unit or can be mounted and integrated onto an existing tank or tank rim;
• wherein the tower sump filter system features semi-translucent or translucent walls, enabling visibility of its internal operations;
• wherein it further comprises an internal drain tie-in sump tower or sump tower connection configured for external tie-in to an overflow box filter or other external components to facilitate water transfer between the tower sump filter system and a separate tank, pond, aquarium, or habitat containment area;
• wherein the overflow box filter includes top surface skimming slots on the main tank/habitat chamber side to enable continuous intake of water at the rate supplied by an external filter pump, preventing overfill of the main tank/habitat chamber;
• wherein water flow entering through the top surface skimming slots is transferred to the tower sump filter system;
• wherein siphoned water flow passes over an over-the-wall pipe chase tube wall and is returned to the external filter system via drains in the lower rear portion of the overflow box filter positioned on the outside face of a tank rim, edge, or lip;
• wherein the drain tie-in sump tower or sump tower connection is plumbed to receive water flow from the overflow box filter or other externals and directs it to a pre-filter sock and sock-ring combination.
