The original bubble-washed bead filters were designed for use
in tropical fish breeding systems where a filter capable of solids
capture and biofiltration was needed to support high densities of
fish. Disease isolation was considered critical so the individual
units were designed to operate on airlift and all were cleaned by
a central vacuum. This reduced the labor and protected the fish
from rapid disease spread.
Bead filters function both as a solids capture device and a
biofilter. They operate very much like a submerged rock bed or
undergravel filter except that they are designed to facilitate
cleaning.

BubbleBead filters feature patented technology and their proven
loading rates are based on university research and many years of
practical use in the aquaculture industries.
The versatility of BubbleBead filters has made them a leading
choice for new installations and upgrades to existing systems where
high loading capability and good water clarity are paramount.
