Evolution Aqua K+ Advanced Pressure Filters
Revolutionize your pond filtration with the Evolution Aqua K+ Advanced Pressure Filters – a next-generation solution engineered for efficiency, rapid biological maturation, and superior water clarity. Designed to outperform traditional bead filters, these systems arrive pre-filled with innovative K+ Media that boasts a unique shape for a class-leading surface area. Enhanced with a special coating of minerals and enzymes, these filters quickly establish the beneficial microorganisms necessary for optimal biological filtration. Perfect for large koi ponds requiring heavy-duty filtration.
K+ Media – Advanced Filtration Technology
- Class-Leading Surface Area: Provides ample space for beneficial bacteria to colonize, ensuring rapid filter maturation.
- Accelerated Biological Filtration: Pre-treated with minerals and enzymes, the media matures faster, filtering down to one micron without compromising water flow.
- Enhanced Solids Retention: Designed to capture even the finest particles, keeping your pond water pristine.
Clear Viewing Lid & Smart Design
- Durable Construction: Manufactured using a rotational moulding process that eliminates weak points and ensures a consistent wall thickness for lasting durability.
- Pre-Filled & Ready to Install: Arrives with K+ Media already loaded, reducing installation time and allowing for immediate performance.
- Energy Efficient: Optimizes water flow to maximize your pump's efficiency, potentially allowing for a lower flow pump and reduced energy costs.
- Integrated Air Blower System: The included air blower, valve, and preassembled pipework simplify backwashing and ensure the media is thoroughly cleaned during the rinse cycle.

How It Works
Water from your pond enters the filter through the multiport valve and is directed to the base of the unit. As it passes through the pre-filled K+ Media, the filter captures debris and organic waste while simultaneously establishing a robust biofilm. Beneficial bacteria colonize the extensive surface area of the media, converting harmful ammonia and nitrites into safer nitrates. Dual laterals in the filter ensure optimal water flow and maintain a consistent circulation rate between cleaning cycles, with the purified water exiting at the top of the unit.
Installation Guide
The Evolution Aqua K+ Advanced Pressure Filters can be installed in both pump-fed and gravity-fed configurations. For pump-fed setups, it is recommended to install a Cetus Sieve pre-filter upstream and a suitably sized Evolution Aqua evoUV unit on the return line. The Model 4800 should be plumbed using 1.5” PVC, while the larger models require 2” PVC. Alternatively, these filters can be installed downstream of a skimmer filter. Always dry-fit the components before applying PVC glue to ensure a secure and leak-free installation.
Upgrade your pond’s filtration system with the Evolution Aqua K+ Advanced Pressure Filters – where innovative design meets exceptional performance for crystal-clear, healthy water.
