BubbleBead Filtration for Koi Ponds

In ponds where Koi and similar ornamental fish are being kept in any numbers, the need for some form of filtration soon becomes apparent. With their greedy appetites and vigorous browsing nature, Koi soon pollute their surrounds with their wastes and with debris churned up from the pool base. Appropriate mechanical and biological filtration will give both the clarity required for viewing and the clean water necessary to maintain fish health. The BubbleBead filter system, with its high ability to remove particles down to 10 micron size and high efficiency breakdown of biological wastes can achieve this desired water quality either on its own or in conjunction with ancillary filter equipment. The BubbleBead filter’s simple valve operated backwash process makes maintenance very straightforward and for simplicity this operation can even be automated.

BubbleBead filters are also ideal to boost fish stock capacity and solids removal in existing Koi ponds where current filters are becoming overloaded, and they can be used in combination with a number of other types of filter. Their compact nature and the ability to site them remotely also makes them ideal for retro-fitting in these cases, with minimal disruption to the surrounds of the existing pond.

Polishes Water -
Removes solids to below 15 micron size for sparkling water clarity

Purifies Water -
Filter bacteria function at optimal performance for highly efficient breakdown of wastes - even in heavily loaded stocked ponds


Demo BubbleBead - doorzichtig model The patented BubbleBead backwash process removes solids but leaves the film of beneficial bacteria on the media

Special floating bead media - over 600.000 beads per cu.ft. - specially processed to enhance attachment of filter bacteria


The ideal main filter for:
- Koi ponds
- Quarantine tanks
- Display aquaria
- Fish holding systems


Can be used with virtually all makes of pond pumps of suitable output including low pressure, low wattage types



The automatic backwash
- gets rid of solids, so...
- gets rid of excess nutrients, so...
- reduces algae problems

Cutting Edge Technology - This new range builds on the well established reputation of the BubbleBead System...
NORMAL RUNNING

Integral 'Twin Valve' fitted as standard. Simply add a timer to the pump to turn the BubbleBead into a fully automatic filter, flushing waste away on a daily basis. No valves to turn, no media to stir up. The work is done for you!


Increased flow performance




Dismountable fittings for main inlet and waste outlet as standard


Very small system: a 80 x 80 cm surface is sufficient for ponds up to 100.000 litres



Simple indoor installation:
no moisture, smell or vermin but a totally closed system



If combined with an EstroSieve you also have an extremely good aeration of the water for an even better functioning of the biology








BubbleWash avoids damage to beneficial biofilm - Unlike some power-washed filters
Polishes water and removes solids - Unlike fluidised bed filters
Compact and suited to remote sitting - Unlike chamber filters
Can use low pressure, low wattage pumps - Unlike sand filters
Purpose made polyethylene filter body - Not just a modified tank
Internal screens prevent media loss - Unlike some fluidised bed filters
Low routine-maintenance requirement - unlike foam pad and brush filters
Fully automated backwash - NO COMPETITION !



BubbleBead together with EstroSieve


(1) Water is drawn by gravity from a bottom drain and/or (2) side inlet. Optionally, the EstroSieve can be isolated with a valve (3). A float (4) regulates the flow-rate into the unit to maintain the artificial water level (5). Water spills over the internal weir (6) and down the removable curved sieve element. (7) As oxygenated water filters through the sieve, dirt is lifted off and collects above water level (8). A pump, mounted either inside the EstroSieve sump or externally (9), draws out water and pumps this into (10) the BubbleBead Filter (or other external filter). (11) Water is returned from the filter outlet to the pond (12) by e.g. a cascade.
