The AquaBead series of filters are also available as complete pond filtration systems that are preplumbed with the AquaBead filter, Pump and UV all on Black equipment pads ready to set up and go when you get them. For more info on our complete systems This is the filter that revolutionized the bead filter world. Meet the AquaBead Filter. The Industry standard for Bead Filter. All of the AquaBead filters utilize the Omnifuser design that picks up heavier solids in the center of the bottom of the vessel. Why do we want to do this? Our goal is to have a filter that doesn't load up with solids. When a filter "loads up" it ceases to perform at its peak. Our goal then is to pick up the heavier solids in the center where debris exists.
Bead filters are close to perfect, some more than others, but one problem no one has addressed until now is, how to keep the bacteria alive in the filter in case you need to do a medical bypass or in case your pump should fail you. The AquaBead conquers this dilemma with the AquaBead Life Support System. This life support system known as "ALISS Valve" will keep the bacteria alive indefinitely. On the front of the multiport valve is a special one way valve that will allow air in, but keep water from seeping out. With the water pump shut down, just slip an airline from your koi pond air pump onto the barbed fitting on the front of the Multiport valve and life giving oxygen is pumped into the tank for the bacteria to survive, while the beads are gently being tumbled within the filter to make sure all of the bacteria get a "breath of fresh air". This eliminates the need to have to "cycle" the filter again. Another AquaBead 1st.
FAQS
1: How does the Omnifuser design improve AquaBead filters?
The Omnifuser design ensures that heavier solids are collected at the bottom of the filter, preventing clogging. This design improves the filter’s efficiency and helps it maintain optimal performance without getting overloaded with debris.
2: What is the AquaBead Life Support System (ALISS)?
The AquaBead Life Support System (ALISS) keeps beneficial bacteria alive during times of pump failure or medical bypasses. It uses an airline from your koi pond air pump to provide oxygen to the bacteria, ensuring that the filter is ready to go without needing to be cycled again.
3: How does the 2 HP media agitator work?
The 2 HP media agitator injects over 100 cu. ft. of air per minute into the filter to break apart the bead “pac” during backwashing. This breaks down solids and ensures an effective backwash, maintaining the filter’s high performance.
4: How does the AquaBead filter save energy?
The AquaBead filter is designed to be energy-efficient, using a smaller pump that reduces electricity usage while still providing maximum flow. The Omnifuser design and high-flow multiport valve help optimize performance, saving you money on energy bills.
5: How is the AquaBead filter different from other bead filters?
The AquaBead filter uses advanced technology like the Omnifuser design and the AquaBead Life Support System (ALISS) to offer superior performance. It’s designed to be easy to maintain, with no need to unhook plumbing to access the filter, and it’s built with fiberglass, which is more durable than plastic.
