Description

One of the most overlooked factors that contribute to the pollution of a koi pond is the level of suspended solids. These are small particles of food waste, faeces and algae which contribute to a build-up of pollution in your pond. A build up of suspended solids in the system will, over time, encourage nasty bacteria, a higher ammonia level and lower oxygen (O2) content.

The Superbead is proven to remove all suspended solids before they can dissolve or convert to ammonia, helping the water stay in optimal condition. The removing of TSS (Total Suspended Solids) from the water when the volume of the whole pond is passed through the filter once is:
• 100 percent TSS from 50 micron and higher.
• 60 percent of TSS from between 20 and 50 micron.
• 50 percent of TSS from between 5 and 20 micron.
(1 micron = 0.001mm).
Because of the Superbead’s low pressure operation it can be, and should be, installed with a low pressure and consequently low wattage pump, making it the perfect choice for an economical and eco-friendly system.
Apart from giving you very clear water, the Superbead is incredibly efficient biologically with 1300m2 of surface area per m3 of media. The biological media does not degrade and will never need replacing.
The Superbead is capable of filtering ponds up to 12000 gallons but is compact with a
footprint of just 80cm x 80cm. The unit can be positioned above or below the pond water level.
The Backwash cycle is simple and easy, it can also be converted to automatic with the use of a motorized ball valve and control unit.
