    Description

    PBF1800 EasyPro Pressurized Bead Filter – 1800 gallon maximum
    Specifically designed for use with water gardens, koi ponds and hybrid ponds, EasyPro pressurized bead filters offer superior mechanical and biological filtration for clean, clear water. Beneficial bacteria colonize on the surface of the Ultimate Tube Media used in these filters. Beneficial bacteria help break down fish toxic ammonia and create a healthier environment for aquatic life. A properly sized and installed filter will provide excellent water quality for maximum pond enjoyment!
    Consider it a ninja pre-wash cycle for filters!
    Regular back flushing is required to clear bead filters of
    waste. Using an Air Blower first to loosen debris makes
    back flushing faster, more efficient and more effective.

    General things to consider for installation:
    1. If the filter is placed in a room there should be a drain system in the room in
    case of failure or breakage of plumbing as well as adequate ventilation for
    pumping equipment.
    2. If the system is installed below pond level it is important to install isolating
    valves to prevent risk of flooding.
    3. The filter, pump, plumbing and UV should have adequate space around it
    for ease of maintenance and service with unit label facing the front to allow
    identification in case of service difficulties.
    4. Plastic fittings should be used for all plumbing connections.
    5. Install the filter as close to the pump as possible. Use correctly sized
    plumbing to minimize friction loss and maximize efficiency.
    FAQ’S:
    When do I need to backwash the filter?
    It is recommended to backwash the filter every week. Every pond is different, however,
    and sometimes it may be necessary to backwash less often or more often.
    Take notice of the pond conditions and observe how often it will be necessary to
    backwash your filter.
    How much head pressure loss should I account for?
    There is approximately 5'-12' of head loss in this filter depending on how dirty the
    filter is.
    Can this be my only filter?
    Yes, this filter can be your only filter. Other types of filtration can be used in conjunction
    with these pressure filters as well. Many pond systems use the mechanical filtration
    of pond skimmers and strainer baskets on external pumps. UV filtration can also
    be after the EasyPro pressurized filter for increased water clarity.
