From May 9th, 2025 until May 19th, 2025 we will be updating our website with more pictures and highlights. We thank you for your patience. If you've already learned enough from one of our retailers and want to buy one directly from us, use the link below.
Costs less than 15 cents per filter change. The Home Tilapia Pro uses common polyester fiber fill as a filter medium. One five pound box costs less than $16 at Hobby Lobby and will last through more than 100 filter changes! Actually, about 113 to be exact. You will never clean a filter again, just toss the dirty filter into a flower pot to drain (and fertilize) then throw it away.
No rinsing, scrubbing or squeezing needed with the Home Tilapia Pro. Simply pull the filter up by the included lanyard, pull of the weighted base, replace the filter material, put the weighted base back on and lower it back into the water. With practice, the entire process takes about 30 seconds of your day.
If you're going to eat your tilapia, you need to change their filter every day. That's over 200 filter changes in a single growing season! With most filters that means spending over 50 hours of your life cleaning or changing filters. With the Home Tilapia Pro an entire season of filter changes can take less than 2 hours! If you value your time, this filter pays for itself in a single year.
The Home Tilapia Pro can be set up to discharge the filtered water above the water line. The falling water disrupts the surface tension and allows additional oxygen to enter the water.
The Home Tilapia Pro sucks water and fecal material in from the bottom of your tank or pond and pulls it through the filter material. Other filter designs allow dirty water to by-pass the filter material after they are full, but not the Home Tilapia Pro. Nothing gets past it.
By drawing the water from the bottom and depositing it on the surface, the Home Tilapia Pro constantly mixes the water preventing oxygen depleted zones. This action also prevents stratification layers keeping the water temperature even throughout.
The Home Tilapia pro does not create violent water flows or eddies that force tilapia to swim constantly on a treadmill of death. By adding a standard ball valve to the outlet, it can even be set up to use with delicate tilapia fry.
The Home Tilapia Pro has been designed using a standard 3/4" clean water discharge. This means that you can easily adapt the water flow to match your needs or imagination.
The Home Tilapia Pro contains electronics that detect low or no water. The pump will not let itself get destroyed by running dry. The pump shaft is hardened ceramic for extended life and resists abrasion by occasional particles in case you forget to replace the filter material a time or two.
The Home Tilapia Pro is a perfect fit for a stock tank or IBC tote based setup. In most cases, one filter per tank is more than enough. Remember, it's not about how much water you have, its about how much fecal matter your tilapia produce in 24 hours. So a 300 gallon tote with 85 pounds of tilapia? No problem. A 600 gallon stock tank with 165 pounds of tilapia? You're good to go. An above ground swimming pool with 1,000 pounds of tilapia? Well when you first add the fingerlings to your pool, you'll probably get away with just one, but as they grow, you'll need to observe the water flow at the outlet and if it slows to a trickle in less than 24 hours, it might be time to think about getting another Home Tilapia Pro to assist. Of course as an alternative, you can always start servicing the filter twice per day. The choice is yours.
On the surface, the Home Tilapia Pro may look simple and easy to reproduce. It was redesigned several times over to come up with the most DIY friendly shape and size to allow for the highest degree of adaptability into existing systems. But don't be fooled. The design has many features that are a first of their kind in aquaculture filtration and are protected by the US Patent and Trademark Office. We've put several years of our lives into the Home Tilapia Pro and will have no sympathy or mercy for copycats.
