Abstract
The invention discloses a submersible bucket filter system for recirculating deep-water culture (RDWC) systems. The filter comprises a durable container with a submersible pump and filter media basket for mechanical, chemical, and biological filtration. The system functions independently or integrates into totes, ponds, or refugia. It offers two configurations: a weighted version for stability and a twist-lock quick-connect version for portability, ensuring the filter remains submerged even in low water. The system also adapts for pond use, supporting plant growth in aquatic settings.
