Congratulations
on your new
AquaBead
Filter
You have made a wise choice in choosing the AquaBead filter. Your filter was carefully thought out
and designed to give you many years of faithful, worry free service. Some of the care and planning of your
filter is self evident in even the small things, such as the Lifetime Warranty on the tank itself. The tanks are
made of the ultimate filter vessel material, fiberglass. This is a higher quality tank than the typical plastic
tank used on many filters.
Your clear spring check valve for the AquaBead bead Agitator is designed so in time (normally
many, many years) when the check valve goes out you can simply unscrew the union and replace just the
valve seat itself in just a few minutes.
Your Multiport valve was carefully chosen to be the least restrictive backwash valve on the market
to give maximum flows for the least energy dollars. The internals were carefully designed with maximum
flows in mind to give further energy savings, by allowing you to use the most energy efficient pumps on the
market.
The AquaBead Life Support System allows you to hook up a koi pond air pump to the supplied
fitting on the front of the multiport valve and supply life giving oxygen to the filter bacteria during times of
medical bypass or pump failure.
The AquaBead Bead Agitator is a high quality air blower that injects huge amounts of air into the
vessel prior to backwash, this breaks up the bead pack which allows for a very thorough backwash.
Rest assured that quality was the main consideration when your
AquaBead
filter was designed and assembled.
