Pond filtration is an integral component of maintaining a balanced aquatic ecosystem. By filtering out harmful pollutants from entering the water and maintaining optimal levels of nutrients and oxygen in its composition, filtration helps protect aquatic life while keeping water clean and safe for use by other forms of life.
Aqua Bead Pond filter feature one way valves on their multiports that allow air in without water leaking out – perfect for maintaining optimal health! Regular backwashes should keep these filters in great condition!
Pond filter Energy Efficient
GCTek’s Aqua Bead Pond filter stands out from the competition thanks to its innovative rinsing process. When running, water enters through its multiport valve and flows down to the bottom of the unit where solids await until backwashing occurs and bead media is forcefully flushed away – this allows solids to be quickly flushed out rather than building up in its depths and eventually clouding your pond with bacteria or creating other issues.
Once the bead media has been removed from the Pond filter it’s ready for its next cycle of rinsing. Compared with other bead filters this one uses less energy and needs a shorter rinsing period – leading to reduced electric costs for its owner as well as saving them money in water costs.
Aqua Bead Pond Filters are also highly energy efficient due to their low restriction and high flow design. Each pipe, air ablower and multiport valve have been constructed specifically to allow maximum fluid movement through your pond, meaning a cleaner, healthier environment for both fish and plants alike.
Koi fish, like other varieties of aquatic creatures, require sufficient oxygen in their environment in order to thrive and remain healthy. Aerating the pond regularly is one way of doing this while dead plants or debris removal are other approaches. Another strategy for increasing oxygen in your environment would be investing in a Koi Pond Pump which facilitates gas exchange by pumping oxygen directly into it as well as dislodging any ice that obstructs it.
AlphaONE Pond Filter comes equipped with powerful yet energy-efficient pumps and air blowers designed specifically to keep up with large volumes of water while remaining cool, which prevents bacteria in filters from overworking while giving pond owners peace of mind that too much power is being consumed.
AlphaONE provides another feature a pond owner will appreciate: accessing plumbing without disconnecting the pump. This feature makes maintenance much faster; cleaning can now be accomplished within minutes!
Life Support System
The Aqua Bead system was created with energy efficiency in mind, boasting more than double the surface area where upper beads gather around Omnifuser slots than any other Pond filter on the market. Couple this with high flow multiport valves and users could save hundreds of dollars annually in energy costs alone; in turn allowing smaller, more energy efficient pumps that ultimately create superior water quality.
GC Tek Aqua Bead stands out with its Life Support System, designed to keep beneficial bacteria alive during medical shutdowns or pump failure. This is accomplished with our one way air inlet valve on the front of our multiport valve; when shutting off your filter air pump air will flow in through this one way valve, gently tumbling beads, keeping bacteria alive!
All of our filtration systems include a prefiltration drain to ensure heavy waste material is separated prior to being processed by the Pond filter, thus helping prevent premature wear on its media and prolonging its life span.
Water then travels through the Aqua Bead or AlphaONE filter at the heart of the Pond filter to undergo biological and mechanical filtration, respectively. Beneficial bacteria reside within these two filters to perform biological filtration while large round bead media perform mechanical filtration by gathering any debris particles that float by. Following filtration, clean water exits via Zapp Pure Ultraviolet Light for final sterilization before returning back into circulation.
Our new range of GC Tek AlphaONE and Aqua Bead Pond Filters provides a comprehensive filtration system designed for easy installation in home swimming pools or water features. Offering the same great filtration as our existing systems, these new ones feature larger 3″ pipe diameter and unions which reduce friction loss for easier installation. These units come fully assembled so simply unbox and connect hoses for use!
Agitator
Aqua Bead polymer offers unique enhancements that enable it to quickly and efficiently cleanse outer surfaces without the use of detergents, making this formula VOC compliant and odorless – ideal for use on bumpers, trim and moldings without leaving water spots or residue behind. Just spray and wipe! Instantaneously dry surfaces without water spots or residue!
This patent bead Pond filter was specifically designed to save energy and money by offering double the lateral surface area (where upper beads assemble around Omnifuser slots) compared to any other bead filter on the market, as well as having the highest flow multiport valve; these features combined enable use of smaller more energy efficient pumps that save hundreds of dollars yearly in energy costs.
Omnifuser technology empowers Pond filter systems to achieve unparalleled energy efficiency in the industry, by decreasing water intake and output rates and creating larger surface area coverage. Furthermore, the Omnifuser gives filter systems much longer settling times so heavier solids can settle more slowly before draining away during backwashing.
ALISS valve is another energy saving feature of AlphaONE filters from GC Tek, providing lifegiving oxygen into your Pond filter through an air hose from your Koi Pond air pump in case of medical bypass or pump failure. This industry first can help ensure lifegiving oxygen will continue flowing into your filter – helping maintain lifegiving bacteria colonies alive! This design makes AlphaONE filters amongst some of the most energy efficient bead filters around!
LH Series
Investment in high-grade filter systems will enhance the health and well-being of your pond ecosystem while simultaneously saving time and effort on cleaning, water changes, chemical treatments that harm aquatic life, as well as helping lower energy costs by decreasing electricity needs to power pumps. A good system may even lower costs by decreasing energy consumption associated with powering pumps.
All GC Tek pond filters are built to be energy efficient. To reach this goal, all internal components have been made as small and light as possible – this ensures maximum flows with minimal head pressure allowing you to use smaller energy-saving pumps at recommended rates to turn over your pond at the appropriate rates – potentially saving hundreds each year both at your electric bill and wallet!
One way we make our Pond filters more energy-efficient is by eliminating “flow robbers” within the unit. A multiport valve only needs to be used during backwashing; otherwise it can be left off during normal filtration mode, thus providing for a larger volume of flow and keeping water moving through our filters at a consistent rate.
Our exclusive, patented design incorporates dimpled surfaces on top of Bio-Gems for additional surface area that is non abrasive and will not disturb bacteria colonies during backwash. This ensures beads do not clog or stick together during backwash and they tumble freely during backwash, further encouraging healthy bacteria colonies as well as making backwash easier than with other bead filters.
All GC Tek AlphaONE Pond filters are designed based on University tests that show one cubic foot of media covers an area equivalent to 450 square feet – more than sufficient to cultivate and manage waste from 50 lbs of fish at 1 oz feed rate, making our AlphaONE filters one of the most dependable and longest lasting bead filters available today.
