Hydrabead Bead Filter | Pinnacle Bead Filter | Turbovortex Solids Separator From Fluidart Technologies

Leading USA Koi Pond Filtration Solutions

Recent advances to biological bead filters have made it a possibility for the average pond keeper to maintain crystal clear, pure pond water all year round. Bead filters are low maintenance biological pond filters that have removed the routine chore of cleaning out filter sponges, often found in many submergible biofilters. They are usually easier to clean and maintain than traditional pond filter varieties such as gravity fed filters and pressurized pond filters.

Bead filtration systems utilize thousands of small polymer floating beads, which provide a much larger surface area on which Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter beneficial bacteria can colonize. These beneficial bacteria play a key role in converting toxic ammonia, produced by excess food, decaying vegetation and fish excrement into much less harmful nitrite and nitrate.

A healthy pond eco system, free from harmful levels of ammonia (NH3) is essential as Koi, goldfish and other aquatic pond life, such as frogs, snails, toads etc are directly related to the quality of the pond water. Biological bead filters are far more efficient at purifying pond water than other types of traditional pond bio filters. Bead filters have been designed to trap solids found in the pond and expel it during regular back washes. Backwashing cycles vary, depending on pond filter model, but generally are very easy and efficient.

Fluidart are one of the leading USA suppliers of biological bead filter systems and in the Hydrabead bead filter they offer the pond keeping industry's lowest head pressure ratings. They have been designed to offer quality, reliability, excellent performance all at a very competitive price. With one of these systems it will be a long time before you are looking for a replacement pond filter system.

Fluidart Hydrabead 24 Biological Bead FilterFluidart Hydrabead Biological Koi Pond Filter

Fluidart Technologies Hydrabead Filter is a biological bead filter, available in three sizes for smaller ponds. This easy to install pressurized bed pond filter is easy to install, great when limited space is available and is constructed from tough injection molded ABS. The Hydrabead filter first introduced hydraulic backwash to bead filters. The Hydrabead filters utilize a smaller bead than conventional bead filters, providing greater surface area for better biological filtration. The smaller bead helps to "polish" your pond water. This Bead Filter n delivers a thorough backwash and rinse through the multiport valve. The sludge removal drain at the bottom assures full removal of waste with no dirty discharge to the pond.

For routine maintenance of the Hydrabead filter, simply open it at the middle of the tank, for easy access to the internals. All Hydrabead filters are fitted with a side mounted multiport valve as standard. This pressurized bead filter is rated at a 5.5 psi drop @ 95 gpm.

Fluidart Pinnacle Koi Pond Bead FilterFluidart Pinnacle Koi Pond Biological Filters

The dual valve Fluidart Pinnacle Bead Filter is a large Koi pond filter, designed for large Koi pond applications up to 25,000 gallons. It utilizes 2 energy saving pumps instead of a single larger pump, filtering the maximum water volume with minimum energy usage. The unique Hydra Swirl design allows solids to be spun to the center of the vessel where they stay until the sludge drain is opened. With the drain open and the pump running, solids are purged under pressure, fully removing waste in a few seconds.

During backwash the Pinnacle Bead Filter utilizes Hydra Thrust bead agitation, using forced air to agitate the beads and free up trapped debris. Pinnacle filter head pressures rank among the lowest in the industry. The filter's optimum flow side mount valve is rated 5.5 psi @ 95gpm.

  • Pressurized filter design
  • All 2" plumbing
  • 2hp Hydra Thrust Blower as standard
  • Durable fiberglass construction
  • 1.5" Water Miser Drain low volume backwash.

Fluidart Koi Pond Filter Turbovortex Solids SeparatorFluidart Bio Pond Filters Turbovortex Solids Separator

The patented Fluidart Turbovortex Solids Separator greatly reduces the solids going to your pump and your filter. Biological pond filters predominantly remove solubles, not solids, from your garden pond. The Turbovortex solids separator is designed to work with sand, sand type and conventional filters as well as bead filters, which includes all Fluidart Bead Filters and filtration systems. It is installed on the suction side of the pump, to capture debris before it gets to the pump basket. With a small footprint, a large capacity, and backwash capability, the Turbovortex is much more convenient to install and maintain than large vortex sediment tanks.

It is critically important to install the Turbovortex before the pump, as this increases bead filtration efficiency and decreases wear and tear on your pump. The Turbovortex inlet needs to be at or below pond level. Improper installation can result in unsatisfactory performance. Benefits include easy installation ... Fast, trouble free backwashing .. Opens quickly for servicing.
