Quality Japanese Koi & Unique Affordable Pond Construction

The concept
Bead filters are closed pressure vessels which contain
beads. Thanks to the shape and size of the beads,
an enormous filter surface is created to which dirt
particles and bacteria adhere. After a while, a biofilm
accumulates on the beads. The bacteria in this biofilm
layer ensure the efficient conversion of ammonium
and nitrite into nitrate.

Operation
The water flows into the filter as a result of pressure
from a pump. Thanks to the unique design of the
inlet, the water starts to spin which causes large dirt
particles to be sucked toward the centre of the filter
and then drained off. The small dirt particles and bacteria
are caught by the beads, and the purified water
then flows back into the pond via the 6-way valve.
The bead filter is cleaned using a strong blower which
blows air through the filter. This causes the dirt to be
‘rinsed off’ of the beads while retaining the biofilm
layer. The filter only has to be cleaned once every
couple of weeks, which is now a quick and easy task.

Unique features of the MegaBead

- The filter has a high intake capacity and is equiped
with a double fan with curved blades. This results
in better distribution and circulation of the water.

- The filter is available with an optional quiet pump.

- The filter is equipped with an automatic ventilation valve.

- Thanks to the larger beads, the system experiences
less resistance during backwashing. This makes it
possible to use a second pump with a lower capacity,
substantially reducing the power consumption.
