The K1 Micro Bead Filter is a versatile unit. It can be used:
• as a filter on its own
• in conjunction with a pre-filter
• on skimmer lines
• as a polisher at the end of a system
• on pump-fed systems
• on gravity fed systems
• installed at any height or location

The K1 Micro Bead Filter can be installed as shown above if you are planning to use a
pre-filter such as the Evolution Aqua Cetus Sieve. If you are not planning to use a pre-filter
we highly recommend that you fit a strainer basket to the pump. This will prevent leaves,
string algae etc. from entering the filter and pump.
* It is recommended that all pipework on the pump side (from the pump to the filter and
back to the pond) is installed on 2” pipe. Please note on the K1MicroBead20 Filter you
will have to reduce your pipe down to 1½” to connect to the multi-port valve. This will
ensure that your pump is working at its maximum flow.
Do not operate the multi-port valve with the circulating pump switched on.
The ball valve must be closed when the circulating pump is running.
