Filtration

Filtration is the act or process of filtering; the mechanical separation of a liquid from undissolved particles floating in it.

Diatom filters can best be defined as mechanical filters. As a mechanical filter it will capture and remove all suspended particles from the water. Connecting this with diatoms, the diatoms are what filter the water.
