UltraBead 100

The filter UltraBead is a filter that combines both mechanical filtration and biological purification: this pressure filter is used in bathing basin, Koi basin or pleasure pond.

This type of filter is intended for installations in gravity mode, with grid prefilter or drum filter only. It is possible to dispense with a prefilter if the size of the filter is oversized, to be washed daily (in season) and to limit the volume of the pond (Koi pond).

How does this filter work?

In normal operation, small polypropylene elements (beads - area of ​​1300 m2 / m3) agglomerate in the upper part of the filter. This thick mattress of beads floats and forms a barrier that retains particles from the pond water.

The pump therefore discharges water from the bottom to the top of the filter: water can rise slowly evenly through the beads that act as bacterial supports.

In filtration mode, water enters the filter through the bottom strainer (A), rises in the filter, and passes through the floating bead mattress. The water comes out of the filter from the top via the strainer (B) which retains the beads. All the particles light enough to be carried away by the water flow are trapped in the bead mattress. The heavier particles, on the other hand, settle to the bottom of the filter.

A multi-way valve (C) allows washing, rinsing, filtration, recirculation, etc. The washing consists in circulating the water in the filter but in the opposite direction (backwashing) and by stirring the beads. A blower (D - high flow air compressor) allows the beads to be agitated very vigorously by injecting air into the filter. A purge valve (E) allows the filter to be drained.

ADVANTAGES
The surface required to install this filter is reduced: it offers maximum performance in a small footprint.

It can be positioned below the water level: often very practical!

The cleaning operation is quick and easy: and no need to get your hands dirty!

WHICH WATER PUMP?
As a basin is filtered in 2 hours, a pump is needed whose flow rate is at least half the volume of the basin.

Example: for a 30 m3 pool, the pump must deliver at least 15 m3 / h at a pressure of 0.2 to 0.3 bar, taking into account the pressure drops. To obtain a correct rinsing of the filter, a pump which delivers a pressure of at least 1 bar is necessary.

This new filter model has a standard bypass that allows water to be pumped directly into the filter, without going through the multi-way valve: a 30% flow gain is possible with this device.

CHARACTERISTICS

Maximum working pressure of 2.5 bar.
