Description

Ultra bead 100 is for ponds up to 20 000 gallons, and comes with 165kg of beads.

The new UltraBead filters are manufactured of chemical-resistant, weather resistant, inalterable thermoplastic with the worlds, most reliable injection moulding method with built in base. All models are equipped with a totally new designed multiport
valve construction with integrated by-pass! This guarantees a maximum flow with minimal pressure loss.  Beadfilters are closed (pressure) vessels filled with millions of small plastic beads. These beads float and therefore provide a means of mechanical filtration and the enormous surface of these beads provides the biological filtration.
Mechanical filtration: the beads float in a closed vessel and are packed very close to each other. The pressure of the pump makes the water flow upward through the beads. The small dirt particles will stick to the bead pack. The longer the filter is active, the more bio
film there will be around the beads and therefore small particles can be filtered (down to 10 micron!). Biological filtration: the specific surface of the beads is about 1600m² per m³, so the bio film layer around the beads is extremely useful nor nitrifying bacteria that consume vast amounts of ammonia, nitrites and nitrates. Recommended pump capacity: in a water column of 2 - 3 m (0,2 -0,3 bar) the pump should be able to circulate 50% of the actual water volume per hour (see specifications of the various pumps). Ponds larger than 40 m³ should have a pump with an actual capacity of 25% to 33% of the water volume per hour.

CAUTION: Max. working pressure 2,5 bar (25 meter).

Beadfilters are also the ideal filter for swimming ponds! They provide perfectly clear, healthy water!
