SuperBead Filter

The SuperBead combines fine mechanical filtration with biological filtration. The SuperBead is used for koi and swimming ponds, as well as swimming pools. The filter features a different rinsing process than ordinary Beadfilter systems and sand filters.The SuperBead filter removes with just one passage through the filter 100% of particles larger than 50 microns and 48% of particles between 5 and 10 microns.

Every Beadfilter features a rinsing process. The trapped dirt particles have to be removed from the filter. The SuperBead was specifically designed to accommodate this rinsing process in contrast to modified sand filters.

With the SuperBead, it is possible to work with pumps that operate at low pressure, which is very energy-efficient. Examples of such pumps are the FlowFriend pumps. Unlike modified sand filters, which often need two to four times as much pump power to pump the same amount of water, the SuperBead filter is much more efficient.

Automating the SuperBead flushing is one of the best ways to guarantee good water quality. The filter is then flushed fully-automatically, for instance every day, so that contaminants are removed automatically every day. If necessary, a dirty-water pump can be connected that activates during flushing to suck the water from the SuperBead to the drain.
