EasyPro PBF1800 Pressurized Pond Bead Filter For Pond Gardens up to 1800 Gallons

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.
