KOI POND BUBBLE BEAD FILTER ULTRAZAP 3 BAG

The Ultrazap 3 Bag Bubble Bead Filter introduces a highly efficient and user-friendly approach to filtration for Koi Ponds and Aquaculture tanks. Offering a combination of mechanical and biological filtration, this closed pressure vessel system is equipped with thousands of plastic beads, creating an effective barrier for dirt particles while also serving as a nurturing ground for beneficial bacteria.

Key Features:

• Mechanical Filtration: The densely packed beads capture and hold dirt particles, with a biofilm layer that thickens over time to trap even finer debris, ensuring clear water.
• Biological Filtration: The biofilm around the beads also serves as a habitat for beneficial bacteria that break down harmful nitrogenous wastes, converting them into non-toxic substances.
• Low Maintenance: Equipped with a simple backwash mechanism and a blower, the cleaning process efficiently removes trapped dirt without disturbing the vital bio-film, making maintenance straightforward and less frequent.
• Healthy Pond Environment: By fostering a balanced ecosystem through natural biofiltration, the need for chemical additives is significantly reduced, promoting a healthier environment for fish and plants.
• Energy Efficiency and Reliability: Designed for optimal energy use with no internal moving parts, reducing operating costs and increasing reliability.
• Superior Clarification: Demonstrates higher effectiveness in removing solids compared to traditional sand filters, ensuring superior water clarity.

Benefits:

• Gentle Backwash: Protects the bio-film during cleaning, maintaining the filter's effectiveness.
• Simple Operation: Easy to understand and manage, with no complicated procedures.
• Energy Savings: The efficient design minimizes energy consumption.
• Durability: The bead media never needs replacement, offering longevity and cost-effectiveness.
• Automatic Self-Cleaning: The hands-free backwash process allows for regular maintenance without hassle, preventing sediment buildup that can fuel algae growth.

Types of Pond Filters in South Africa

There are two purposes a pond filter system has. It needs to act as a mechanical filter and as a biological filter. Before we look into pond filters, we need to look into the two kinds of filtration.

1. Mechanical Filtration: This is one of the main types of filtration that happens in ponds. The wastes and solids like the ones produced by fish can be separated and removed with this filtration system. This is an essential filtration system because it can strain solids from the pond water as it goes through it which is important for the pond's biological media.
2. Biological Filtration: In nature, the biological process of beneficial bacteria will also occur in ponds. When pond fish produce waste, it will slowly turn into nitrites, nitrates, and ammonia. If a biological filtration system is working improperly, the waste and bacteria can reach a point that is unhealthy for fish and other pond inhabitants. Biological filtration utilizes beneficial bacteria to help maintain water quality and make the water environment healthy.
