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 in the bead pack. The longer the filter is active, the more bio film there will be around the beads and therefore smaller particles can be filtered.

Biological filtration: the specific surface of the beads is about 1600m2 per m3(6 times more than a blue Japanese Mat), so the bio film layer around the beads extremely useful for nitrifying bacteria that consume vast amounts of ammonia and nitrites.

Assures a completely automatic backwash process for UltraBead filters!

Is suitable for all UltraBead types. Installation takes only a few minutes.

Controls blower and circulation pump automatically.

Standard with a weekly timer, but frequency and length of the backwash process can be adjusted as required.

In addition, one push on the button starts an extra cycle immediately. Can also be set to CIRCULATE and CLOSED (valve closed). Choice of 3 languages for the display: Dutch, German or English.

AquaForte have introduced a bypass for Europe’s best selling beadfilter!

Installing the bypass allows the use of more economical pumps like Aquamax, Sequence, Pond Eco etc without affecting the Biological Bio-Mass.

Due to a very compact bypass-system, the multi-way valve is completely unused during filtering as the water flows directly into the filter and also leaves the filter in a direct line.

This action results in at least 30% less pressure loss (depending on the type of pump).

The bypass system is very easy to install on all UltraBead models, using the unions supplied. Connection: 63mm.

*This item pays for it's self in weeks due to it's Energy Saving.
