How it fits your pond
Pressurized bead filters clean by trapping solids in a packed bed of plastic beads. Over a season that bed compacts, and a plain water backwash struggles to break it apart — so the filter never fully recovers its capacity. An air blower fluidises the bed first, scrubbing the beads against each other so the backwash actually carries the waste out. The result is a filter that returns to full capacity, using less water and less time at each cleaning.
Important: the blower is used during backwash only, never while the pump is running in filtration mode.
