DynaMax Air Assist Backwash That Saves Water

The included DynaMax Blower drives the Air Assist Backwash system, and this is where the AD2000 stands out. When it is time to clean, air aggressively agitates the debris trapped in the media bed and lifts it into the water column, so the waste washes out cleanly.

• Deep cleaning of the media bed, not just a surface rinse
• Conserves water with an average backwash of only 25 gallons
• Keeps the bead media performing at its best between cycles

Why the Aquadyne AD2000 Bead Filter Handles Heavy Fish Loads

Fish load is what makes or breaks a filter, and this model is built to keep up. With .60 cubic feet of bead media weighing 20 lbs, the AD2000 supports up to 50 pounds of fish.

The bead media gives both mechanical trapping and a large surface for beneficial bacteria, which is what keeps water clear and safe as your fish grow. It also makes a strong choice as a large-volume indoor aquarium filter and a starter unit for small laboratory research applications.

Pump and Plumbing Made Simple With the Aquadyne AD2000 Filtration System

Setting up your system is straightforward because the AD2000 works with most external pumps and ships ready to plumb.

• 1-1/2" plumbing on all ports
• 3 pre-assembled schedule 80 unions included, with pre-mounted male adapters
• Self-sealing 1-1/2" unions make connection and service quick
