Medusa Filter
Available
in both the AquaBead and AlphaONE styles, everything is double on the
Medusa internally and externally. Run two energy efficient pumps on
one filter. Filter a 20K to 25K pond on a total of only 5 amps!
The
AquaBead Bead Agitator is a dynamo powerhouse of air output. What does
it do? During normal running of the filter the beneficial bacteria
causes the beads to be sticky (that's good). In the normal running of
the filter algae and other solids combine with the sticky beads to try
and form a "glue" that glues the beads together. At the same time the
algae and other solids combine and grow larger as time goes by. To
properly get them out of the filter when it is backwashed, we need to
break this bead "pac" apart and pulverize the solids to a small size
again so we can backwash them out of the filter. That's the job of the
AquaBead Bead Agitator. When you kick this 1 horsepower powerhouse
into action, humongous amounts of air are injected at the bottom of
the filter where the air then rises and as it does "breaks apart the
bead pac", thus allowing for a good back wash to be engaged at this
point. What goes on inside is a violent rushing of air into the vessel
breaking apart the bead pack, but not so hard as to disrupt the
beneficial bacteria growing on the beads.
The AquaBead filters were designed to be the most energy efficient
filters on the market. Inside is more than double the lateral surface
area, where the upper beads gather around the slots in the lateral
arms, than that used on any other filter. Couple this with the highest
flow multiport valve on the market and you have a filter that was
designed to be energy efficient. By implementing these design
characteristics the filter can save the end user hundreds of dollars a
year in energy costs. A smaller more energy efficient pump can be used
to handle ponds that would normally have to have larger energy "hog"
pumps to turn the pond over at the suggested rates. Why do we care,
we're not paying the electric bill? We are committed to doing our part
to conserve our natural resources. In our operation we recycle
everything we can to hold down costs and do our part for the
environment.
AquaBead filters also come with a special wrench that fits over the
top cap and allows you to unscrew the cap and gain access. Did you
notice I did not say to "unhook your plumbing"? With some bead filters
who use top mount valves it is necessary to unhook the plumbing to get
inside. Not fun. GCTek, makers of the AquaBead Filters, knew you
wouldn't like this, so they didn't use a top mount design. Unlike
lesser quality filters made of plastic, AquaBead filters is made of
fiberglass. This costs a bit more than plastic, but it is also of
better quality. GCTek only wanted to use the best and the fiberglass
is rated at 50 psi. AquaBead Filters are also sensibly priced when
compared to similar filters on the market.
