Econo Bead EB40

The economical answer to imitation filters, made by the Beadfilter experts!

The Econo Bead EB40 filters have a strong quality polypropylene vessel and are standard equipped with:

Features:
a bottom drain to remove the sludge from the bottom,
6-way valve, a very reliable blower!
The blower is also equipped with a silencer.
Comes with a big lid for easy access

For ponds up to: 2800 gallons - 12000 litres
Bead Capacity: 22kg Beads

•All EconoBead Beadfilter models are standard equipped with a 2” multi-port valve, a transparent access cap and a powerful blower.

•EconoBead Beadfilters are constructed from high quality fibreglass conforming drink water standards so they are completely save for your fish

. •The EconoBead Beadfilter comes with a warranty period of 5 years on the pipe and fitting system and a warranty period of 10 years on the fibreglass vessel and beads

THE MULTIPORT VALVE

“FILTER” : water enters the EconoBead filter and goes upward through the beads and exits out of the vessel via the top spray bar to return to the pond.

“RECIRCULATE” : With the “RECIRCULATE” feature you can bypass your EconoBead filter and flow the water from pond to pump to multiport and back to pond. This comes in handy when you are treating the pond.

“WASTE”: allows the water to bypass the EconoBead filter and go directly to waste, such as when you are performing a backwash cycle. You can also use the waste setting to vacuum out your pond without the garbage going into your filter, it bypasses the EconoBead filter via the multiport and goes out to waste.

“RINSE”: The first time we use the RINSE feature to wash the beads with the blower which forces huge amounts of air into the vessel and since air rises in water, the beads are broken apart by this action, making a thorough backwash easy to accomplish. After the backwash function we use the RINSE feature again but now with water instead of air. It is impossible to get every little bit of debris out of a filter and this causes these minute particles to exit in the waste line instead of going back into the pond.

Econo Bead Low Pressure Bypass Kit

Installing the bypass to the Ultrabead filter allows the use of more economical pumps.

Due to a very compact bypass-system, the multi-way valve is completely unused during filtering as the water flows directly into the filter and also leaves the filter in a direct line. This action results in at least 30% less pressure loss (depending on the type of pump).

These bypass systems are very easy to install on all UltraBead models, using the unions supplied

Ultra Bead Filter UB40

The Ultrabead UB40 Bead filters are a closed (pressure) vessel filled with millions of small plastic beads. These beads float and therefore provide a good means of mechanical filtration with an enormous surface of which these beads provide the biological filtration.

For ponds up to: 2000 gallons.
Bead Capacity: 32.5kg Beads

Ultrabead Bead Filter Mechanical filtration: the beads float in a closed vessel and are packed very close to each other. Its the pressure of the pump that makes the water flow upward through the beads. The small dirt particles will stick in the bead pack. The longer the filter is active, the more bio film there will be around the beads and therefore smaller particles can be filtered.

Ultrabead Bead Filter Biological filtration: the specific surface of the beads is about 1600m2 per m3 (6 times more than a blue Japanese Mat), so the bio film layer around the beads extremely useful for nitrifying the bacteria that consume vast amounts of ammonia and nitrites.

Pre Filters

The in and output system of the Ultrabead Bead Filter has laterals (slotted pipe) to stop the beads escaping the filter and therefore we need a pre-filter to prevent the possibility of large solids ie (string algae, pine needles, leaves and fish waste) coming in from a bottom drain or submersible pump.

We strongly recommend the use of the Ultrasieve III filter in before the Ultrabead Bead Filter.

How The UltraBead 40 Bead Filter Works

Water enters into the chamber under pressure from the pump. This water, by means of the unique design of the Ultrabead Bead Filter, spins separating the heavier solids and forcing them to the centre of the tank. The solids are collected in the centre of the Ultrabead Bead Filter, waiting to be hydraulically purged out under pressure from the pump. This is done by opening the swirl separation valve with the pump still running and the filter in it’s normal filtration mode and the heavier solids are evacuated in just a couple of seconds. What does all of this mean? well Ultrabead Bead Filter is the most unique, efficient filter of its kind. An efficient filter like the Ultrabead Bead Filter doesn’t hold solids, it gets rid of them!

Now that the water is in the Ultrabead Bead Filter it is forced slowly upward in the vessel through zillions of beads. On these beads are billions of nitrifying bacteria and these hungry bacteria are consuming vast amounts of ammonia, nitrites, etc. and performing what is known as nitrification. This is how we actually have clean, healthy water is due to the work these minute organisms are performing. Water continues to flow upward through the beads and exits out of the Ultrabead Bead Filter via the top spray bar. This water then continues into the multi port valve and depending on the setting on the multi port, the water continues then to the pond.

The Ultrabead Bead Filter have another unique feature: the UltraTrust Blower . This blower is mounted on a special air check valve. It is important that the valve be in the rinse position for the blower agitation of the beads. When the blower is active the beads and debris are dispersed throughout the interior of the filter. This breaks up the beads and releases the trapped particles. This debris then can easily be backwashed out to waste through the spray bar .

After the RINSE cycle with air we perform a backwash in which the water enters at C en leaves the filter through A. After the backwash there will be another RINSE cycle but with water instead of air. This takes any remaining debris and sends it to waste , instead of sending a cloud of dirt back to the pond.

All UltraBead Bead filters models are standard equipped with a 2” multi-port valve, a transparent access cap and a powerful blower.

UltraBead filters are constructed from high quality fibreglass conforming drink water standards so they are completely save for your fish.

The UltraBead Bead filters come with a warranty period of 5 years on the pipe and fitting system and a warranty period of 10 years on the fibreglass vessel and beads.
