GCTek AlphaONE Premium Low Head Pond Bead Filter

The AlphaONE LH filters were designed to be the most energy efficient filters on the market. Inside is more than double the lateral surface area, where the upper beads gather around the slots in the lateral arms, than that used on any other filter. Couple this with the highest flow multiport valve on the market and you have a filter that was designed to be energy efficient.

By implementing these design characteristics the filter can save the end user hundreds of dollars a year in energy costs. A smaller more energy efficient pump can be used to handle ponds that would normally have to have larger energy "hog" pumps to turn the pond over at the suggested rates. Why do we care, we're not paying the electric bill? We are committed to doing our part to conserve our natural resources. In our operation we recycle everything we can to hold down costs and do our part for the environment.

Now, let's dive into the AlphaONE Life Support System (ALISS) – your insurance against unexpected scenarios. Whether it's a medical bypass or a pump failure, ALISS has your back. A one-way valve on the front of the multiport valve allows air in without water seepage. Simply connect an air pump to the barbed fitting, and let air gently tumble the media, keeping those precious bacteria thriving.

Additional features? We've got plenty:

• High surface area and flowrate for top-tier filtration, meaning you don't need an oversized pump!
• A sizable 2" spring check valve ensures high flow, and dual unions simplify replacements.
