Bead filters accomplish two goals, one beaing water polishing (solids capture) and the other biological filtration. Other filtration systems accomplish these goals, but are much larger and more difficult to clean. The advantage of the bead filter is that it provides a home for beneficial bacteria with high surface area for large colony per cubic foot and fine particulate straining all within the same vessel. The other big advantage the bead filters have over other types of filters is that are much easier to clean. This makes the hobby of KOI or pond keeping much more enjoyable, with less work involved in maintaining a healthy environment for the fish.
They all include the latest Waterco bobbin wound filter, 6 way valve, high quality non-return valve, sight glass, blower and all associated plumbing supplied on a large stable equipment base. Since its release we have had a huge response in the market and has become popular within the Koi market. This range of bead filters are incredibly user friendly and easy to install. As you can see the whole kit is mounted neatly onto a base and can literally be setup within minutes. Unlike most bead filters.
